opening a retail boutique
I am so close to finishing with opening my business. I need $50,000 more…I have bad credit. Any ideas?

I have an upcoming pet boutique opening in Michigan and it’s going to have full service retail, grooming, puppies for sale, doggy day care…the works…it’s something the town is really in to and excited about. I know it’ll make a ton of money! However, I need $50,000 more to make it happen….I have bad credit. What in the world can I do, so I can make my business go before I fall through before I even get started?!?!

Retail Employment

It has been said that in a product's long journey from the producer to the customer, the last two feet are the most important. The manner in which the last two feet are managed varies considerably between retail sectors, retail operations and inevitably within retail organisations. Customers' day-to-day contact with store personnel will fundamentally affect their attitude toward the retail shop. Retail employment is an under-researched area despite the importance of personnel in retail organisations. In this volume leading management researchers examine employment and employment issues in retailing, including employment within the superstore environment, part-time employees, the participation of women in the workforce, sunday trading and extended opening hours, staff training and de-skilling, and the internal labour market.

Carry You Siena Snack Tray
$24.99
The Carry You Siena Child Snack Tray for Strollers is Simply Awesome. 'Simple' because it is little more than a deep, padded, water resistant bag that attaches to the front bumper bar of any stroller that has one, and 'Awesome' in the conveniences it provides for parents on the move. Toys, treats, drinks, and more will be within your child's reach at all times, eliminating the need for you to hold or hand them things while out shopping or strolling. Child snack trays are virtually exclusive to umbrella strollers and travel systems, so for owners of swivel wheel strollers, joggers, or all terrain strollers (which NEVER have child snack trays) the Siena Snack Tray is a real blessing. All you need is a stroller with a front bumper bar**, and your passenger will stay occupied while you handle business. The Siena Child Snack Tray has an expandable opening that, when open, accommodates large objects like food containers or toys. For drinks, books, or smaller stuff the tray opening retracts to hold them in place. The Siena Snack Tray attaches to a compatible front bumper bar with a wrap-over Velcro attachment; a non-skid backing prevents the Tray from sliding along the bar. The Carry You Siena Snack Tray brings the kiddie-conveniences offered by mid sized umbrella strollers into the realm of jogging and all terrain strollers . . . It's Simply Awesome. Note: The Stroller must have a front bumper bar . The dimensions of the Snack Tray are: 16" long x 3" wide x 3" deep. Some double jogging strollers with front bumper bars are too narrow to accept the Siena Snack Tray, so please measure your bumper bar before purchasing. **The Siena Child Snack Tray is compatible with these Strollers (and more): Bugaboo o Cameleon o Frog Schwinn Safari TT Double Mountain Buggy o All strollers with optional bar added Quinny Buzz Tike Tech ATX Valco o Tri Mode o Tri Mode Twin BumbleRide Rocket Inglesina Zippy Phil and Teds o E3 Explorer o E3 Twin o SP Single o Twin Stroller Zooper o Boogie o Disco o Zydeco o Hula o Tango o Waltz

EasyWalker SKY stroller Aqua
$399.99
If you've been looking for a stroller with the full-size comfort of an all-terrain stroller but the small-trunk friendliness of a compact stroller, look no further and check out the EasyWalker SKY Stroller . With easy-rolling 12" air-filled tires and a fold compact enough for even sub-compacts, the SKY fits into your family's busy, go-everywhere lifestyle. Add in an included rain cover, and car seat adaptability, and you've got a stroller that lives up to the EasyWalker name. Standout Features Includes a UV Mosquito Net and Nursery Bag. Available only on JoggingStroller.com Full-size comfort for easy pushing A travel-friendly compact fold 12" air-filled tires and a front swivel wheel for city and country strolling Included rain cover makes your stroller weather ready Benefits for You: On the trail or in the city, the EasyWalker SKY pushes like the cushiest of big all-terrain strollers thanks to rear suspension and 12" air-filled tires. Folded down to a 34" x 14" package, the SKY looks more like a compact travel stroller. Right on! Weighing 20 lbs, the EasyWalker SKY stroller weighs less than many other full-size all-terrain strollers. Folding in just two steps and opening with just one hand, maneuvering the SKY from trunk to trail is easy as pie. With the wheels attached, the SKY folds down to a relatively small 34" x 14". With the wheels removed, you might just fit it in the overhead bin of an airplane. Parents both tall and small push the SKY stroller comfortably thanks to an adjustable handlebar (adjustable from 33" to 45" tall). The 12" front swivel wheel corners tight store aisles and locks forward to coast over bumpy terrain. Air filled tires and rear suspension offer a cushy ride. A foot brake keeps the stroller in place when stopped. Out and about, the storage basket takes just about anything (though we'd stop at the kitchen sink!). The thing to note about the basket is that it is both wide and deep, which keeps odds and ends in their rightful place. For easy clean up, the seat lining can be removed and it is machine washable. As a bonus, the SKY stroller comes complete with a Nursery Bag and UV mosquito net (a $90 value). The Nursery Bag comes with a changing pad and plenty of pockets for bottles and gear. Compatibility: Attach the EasyWalker EasyBoard to take two children on the road! Using either the EasyWalker Maxi Cosi Car Seat Adapter or the EasyWalker Graco Car Seat Adapter , the SKY accepts the following infant car seats: Maxi Cosi Mico Graco SnugRide Graco SnugRide 32 Benefits for Baby: The EasyWalker SKY makes baby's ride smooth and comfy thanks to rear suspension and a 4-position reclining seat. Because the seat reclines flat, the SKY is appropriate for children from birth right up to 4 years. For a traditional pram look, consider adding the EasyWalker Carrycot . When rain arrives, throw the included rain cover over the SKY stroller for full pro
