If You Build It...They Will Come

Well we made it to the finish line...or the starting line, however you want to look at it.  Yesterday marked the first day of business at www.BrickSmarts.com.  The days leading up to our launch were spent reviewing the website, double checking the sets in preparation for sale, and working on a marketing plan so that we could get BrickSmarts in front as many eyes as possible on our first day.  I have to admit that I was pretty nervous about the public's response to the website.  Thankfully the feedback was AMAZING!  We had lots of views on our site and much love on social media.  Especially from Borm & Co.  Mom Blogger and Marketing Expert, Julie Borm gave us a real boost on Facebook with her blog post about Family Owned Businesses.  You can check out the link here!
And I have to give a special shout out to my hubby, who is always super supportive, and has put up with all of the added demands of starting a new business.  

So with the first day behind us, we look towards the next couple of months which seems like the most insane time to start an online store.  We are hoping for LOTs of customers looking for reasonable gifts for their LEGO® loving kiddos.  We want to offer an economical alternative to astronomical retail prices.  And the best thing about LEGOs is, they are just as fun USED as they are NEW!  We want to connect and reach out to customers who want to be mindful of cost, but may also be looking for an environmentally friendly alternative to their holiday shopping.  BrickSmarts offers just that!  We clean, refurbish, and hand package each of our LEGO® building sets, so it's not like the typical used LEGOs that you would buy at a garage sale.  We take care of all that!  We promise that your little LEGO® lovers will not miss the original packaging or box.  It's what's inside that counts!
