Product Photo Shoot & Life Since The Move

ocean, beach, photo, anklet

It’s hard to believe that our big company move came and went. It has definitely been a relief since moving out of our warehouse/retail store. I made it my goal to focus on online sales after we moved out. This weekend we had our first professional photo shoot.  My friend Ashley (http://www.ashleybubbicophoto.com/) took the photographs. So, while I am waiting to get the lifestyle & white background photos back here are a few behind-the-scenes shots:

Live the Life- Beach Edition

Planning a vacation to the beach can be fun, exciting, and stressful. The beach life is the best life, right? I seriously love going to the beach as often as I can. Typically we try to go to the beach at least once a year!

Beach_Blog_2Image via www.instagram.com/jessparkesphotography

I love the sand in my toes and laying out on the sand! I am not a fan of going in the water except to cool off. I am kinda scared of water, haha! However, most of the time I can find my brothers and husband acting like little kids in the water and I enjoy watching them have the time of their life!

I like the girly things you know, tanning, eating, reading on my ipad, etc. A beach vacation isn’t complete for me though without some beautiful jewelry. Whenever I go to the beach I always plan on going out to dinner like every night, no lie. I glam up and go out! I accessory my outfits with the cutest, prettiest, and most adorable jewelry! After all that is what a vacation is all about, right?

The best beach that I have ever been to is Bermuda! Oh my gosh, I seriously love and adore that place! It was the most peaceful beach ever. I loved walking along the beach and taking photographs of the little findings! I have a dream bucket beach list which is:

  • Bahamas (I went there once when I was little I’d LOVE to go again!)
  • Hawaii
  • Barbados
  • Costa Rica
  • Dominican Republic
  • Puerto Rico

The decision to close our brick & mortar store

Business is changing…fast. It seems like every few months you have to reassess your business plan and make major changes. While Reese and Rose is a new brand, our company has been in business since 1935. I have witnessed many of the ups and downs that come along with running your own business. My best advice is this- if you seeing something changing, it already has, and you’re already behind.

That notion marked the decision to officially close our brick & mortar store.

blog2 Shop our charm necklaces here!

My mom ran Sammy’s Fabulous Jewelry as a jewelry and dress boutique for nearly 7 years. She chose to retire from the store last year, and we sold off the dress inventory.

However, we still had a lease. So we closed the doors for a while to focus on wholesale, but that doesn’t pay the rent. We re-opened the storefront, but it was and is still an incredible struggle to get anyone to come in the door.

This may seem like bad news, but it’s actually a great time and opportunity for us. The Reese and Rose brand is in its infancy. We have a lot of wholesale customers who love this new brand, and we have received a lot of re-orders and positive feedback.

blog4Shop our charm necklaces here!

Our lease is up at the end of July. We will be moving to a small office, and the rent and expenses will be exceptionally lower than where we are now. This will enable me to work more efficiently online. Due to our high expenses every month, I find myself always having to push back my product launches online. Moving will give me the chance to work from home more and focus on a great e-commerce experience.

blog5At home photo shoot 🙂

Consistency is key. I haven’t been able to maintain a consistent online & e-commerce experience because I have been burning the candle at both ends. You cannot do everything. I am excited to see what the future brings, and how I can create an even better online experience for my customers. What kinds of things would you like to see from Reese and Rose in the future?
