As recruitment comes closer our Facebook page at Hannah's Boutiquehas been getting more visitors as well as orders. Over the summer sales were sedentary since people were off campus and we deal mainly with RIT students. But now that the campus is full and recruitment is in full swing our business is seeing more traffic.
Currently my business partner- Hannah Stultz- and I have one order which we are planning on filling tomorrow as well as one impending order. A close friend of mine has spread the word to her sisters and a few fraternity brothers are showing interest in reordering from us. Luckily we built a small clientele last semester when recruitment wasn’t as stressful and both of us had more time.
Now that the fall semester is in full swing we are pushed to not only organize the business but to also organize our lives. This upcoming weekend recruitment is in full swing which demands a tremendous amount of time and we still have our studies to maintain. This is has been a great way to help maintain our schedules as well as thinking on our feet when we get a rush order.
We’re looking forward to a full semester of letter making, marketing, and networking ourselves in our area. Last semester we made a small niche in the University of Rochester Greek life when we made a shirt for a Phi Kappa Tau brother. This networking allows us to boarder our production horizons as well as gaining knowledge about other Greek communities.
