The website that was mentioned for vendor support, www.vendorsfund.com was supposed to be live today (18th). We are working on the best methods to use to get the site up with a full support forum, donation center, order customization, etc. Our main focus right now is finding the best way to have the register online. We just want to make sure that everything is done right the first time around. Until everything is up, you can customiza a shirt at www.wvpersonalization.com or register at the support forum www.vendorsfund.wvcenter.com until everything is tied together. I hope that we can make a large impact, and I thank you for being a part of it.
There is little doubt that the events of September 10th, 2008 will remain fresh in our minds for quite some time. Even with plans to rebuild, one issue has yet to be addressed; reestablishment of the vendors. Even though everyone’s situation is different, for the vast majority, everything they were able to sale became victim of consequence. So what does this mean to the local economy? Even if a new building were erected next week, most of the would-be vendors would have nothing to fill the spaces.
There may be good news to those people that thought that the tragedy resulted in a total loss. “It is still hard to believe that something like this could have happened.” Says Dustin Salmons of WV Personalization as he announced to the media that a fund for the victims is underway in their honor.
We are pleased to announce that we will be sponsoring this year’s “Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader?” in the Huntington Mall. We are offering a $100 gift certificate in the $100,000 spot, and also smaller prizes in our drawing. The event will be held August 23rd in the Macy's Dome. Please contact us if you have any questions.
The West Virginia Center has just found a new home! Starting July 1st, we will be in the right wing of the mall out side of JC Penny. This location will mainly focus on personalized gifts. From Photo Embroidery to Custom Name Plaques, we can put a name or picture on just about anything you can think of. We will also be showcasing the Tri-States largest selection of Italian Charms. With over 25,000 products, we are sure to have the perfect gift for everyone. Hope to see you at the Mall!
For those of you that have been to the Milton Flea Market location in the past few weeks may have noticed that we are expanding. Besides the double booth with floral and craft supplies, you notice across the hall that we are building out our charm and personalization business. Though it may be a few weeks till the new stores are complete, we would like to thank our customers for their thoughts and ideas on how to improve their shopping experience. We hope to have all of the products listed in our online catalog ASAP for online convenience.
