It's a new experience for us...who are used to people trying to find us and knowing something about the bikes before they come in. Now we get rare curiosity seekers who don't know or care what a lug is, and mostly ask,"what's with the hatchets?", which of course is an excellent question. I addressed that on a page I taped to the front door window, but not everybody sees it, and--at least they're in the store. Our 3 day sales have been $752, $412, and up to 7:30 tonite (we close at 9, but I left 730), $316...and half is from friends-who-are-local customers already, and relatives,and the landlord bought two hatchets today (he lives in a spaceship house in Taos, is a retired carpenter, and needed them...he said).
We're going to start having events, like storytime for kids, how-two for bike riders, and maybe even some ride, like Learn the Local Trails. It's pretty clear that we can't just be cocky or even confident based on any history we have already. This saturday will be interesting, since -- saturday shopper traffic, or something. Anyway....it's been great to see friends there...... I think there are pix on the BLug, and I'll make more.
