Let’s continue

Busy month! January is THAT MONTH where the previous year’s accounting work needs to be assembled to be ready for my accountant for taxes. It is done!!

The year end accounting activities, which started after Christmas, provided the information needed to make my decision to change the direction of Doghoztoyz.

I found over the past few years, that an e-commerce site really depends on frequent activity on social media. Juggling social media with the e-commerce site activity, with building toys, with sometimes having to fix my sewing machine, in addition to my other business activity - I’m a dog walker and pet sitter, prompted me to change my emphasis.

Over the past few weeks, as I set up new accounting software, I set up invoicing capabilities for individual and retailer billing. The FAQ will address this, but if you have questions the “Contact” button or e-mail can be used. I check my e-mail several times daily.

If you have visited the site over the past 3 or 4 weeks, you will see that little by little, it is taking shape. I just put up a FAQ sheet. Also, what is also very different from my prior e-commerce site, I am blogging. My hope is every few weeks, maybe a little more frequently.

Welcome

Hi all,

For those who are visiting for the first time, Welcome! For those who have visited my former e-commerce site, Welcome Back!

After 5 years of offering Doghoztoyz to both retailers as well as individuals, I am shifting the emphasis of this website toward introducing my products to retailers. I have Doghoztoyz in some great stores and I really would like to have them in stock in more stores. Also, my hope is that individuals will ask their favorite store to stock Doghoztoyz after visiting this site.

Although this new site is not a dedicated e-commerce site, Doghoztoyz is easy to reach for both retailers and individuals. Retailers will be able to reach me for more information about the product: minimum order levels, shipping and payment terms. Individuals will be able to order by e-mail.

Over the upcoming couple of weeks, I am working to have payment processing options set up, similar to the previous site. Customers living in my local area (Ojai, CA) will be able to order by e-mail, text, or in-person and pay with a portable Point Of Sale card reader. So, no worries.

Anyway, explore Doghoztoyz.com, a world where you can give your dog interactive tug and fetch toys, built from retired fire hose, which are Tough Enough For Fun!
