New Year
It's a New Year (for Pagans anyway) and the business, Blue Moon
Botanicals, is still slightly new....so off we go!
Lately, the site has been stalled, so it's time to start working on new
products, adding new text to the site and doing our best at Do-It-Yourself
SEO (Search Engine Optimization.) This ought to be fun. You see, it would
cost a couple grand to have "the professionals" work on the website and see it
rise in the Search Engines, like Google, Yahoo! and MSN. As a small
business, smaller than most, the budget isn't there to go through "the
professionals." Our budget is mostly for our products – which is good news
for our customers, but only when we can get them to the site.
Next month, we have three teas that will be coming out and are currently
being worked on. The herbal pillows are still getting the "kinks" worked out
but look forward to them in the months to come.
That's all for now – so please check out the website,
http://www.bluemoonbotanicalsny.com
And let us know if you have any comments or suggestions, product ideas
or questions. We look forward to serving your needs for products to fuel
your mind, body and soul!

Congratulations, Obama!
Yes, We Can!
Amazing. So much more can be said, but what more needs to be said?
President Elect Barack Obama. Right now, I sit at my computer, writing
this while watching the local news channels, with their continuing
coverage of the election, still wiping the tears and flattening the
goosebumps from Obama's acceptance speach, as I try to calm my nerves
and realize that America is not only ready for this change, but they made
it known as well.
Congratulations, President Elect, Barack Obama!! America needs a
change and we will hopefully see that over the next 4 years, at least.
I don't feel anymore needs to be said tonight. I write this through the
business and I realize that my opinion may not mesh with everyone else,
but I do not discriminate against ANYone's opinion and accept all schools
of thought.
To each thier own.
(But, Fantastic, Obama! Fantastic! :-)

Orders
Well, it was a good weekend for Blue Moon Botanicals. We received our
biggest order yet and also sold some bath salts. You would think that more
people would want to buy bath salts, but I guess that maybe they are not as
popular as they used to be.
The herbal pillows are still in their early stages, but I’m hoping to work on
them more after this week. Our most popular tea lately seems to be the
“Chill Out Tea.” I guess most people feel they need to relax more than usual!
Fine by me and I’m glad it’s such a hit.
At Blue Moon Botanicals, our teas are more than just herbal tea that we
hope to help with medicinal ailments; we want to make them taste good as
well. Obviously we’ve been able to accomplish this and always look for
feedback. We can’t make better what we don’t know needs working on.
Always looking for new customers, so please stop on by and browse
around! We look forward to seeing you.

Below the Bible Belt -
A funny thing happened the other day. The realization dawned that
about 60% of our orders in the last month have been shipped to, yes you
guess it - below the Bible Belt. This may or may not be strange to some,
but I felt it noteworthy nonetheless. Think of the reasons, the
possibilities.....for starters, many people who are practicing Pagans for
starters or those just interested in a more healthy, green lifestyle may not
have shops near them to shop at and so they shop online.
The flipside of course to this argument is also that all the people in states
like New York and California have such a plethora of stores to choose from
already, that one more added into the mix doesn't always make the
headlines right away.
And so, here I sit (in Chicago) awake at 1:00 a.m. (not unusual for me)
just thinking I should put that thought into the void.
So tootles, dear void and if you have friends that shop the web - tell them
to stop on by to Blue Moon Botanicals...because not everything can be
learned in a book. www.bluemoonbotanicalsny.com

Busy, Busy
It’s been a LONG week for Blue Moon Botanicals. Unfortunately, the
main problem I wanted to tackle this week, so far has not been fully
overcome; shipping methods. I have to wonder, what the best shipping
methods are out there and what my customers want the most? I’m always
open to suggestions.
Usually, when I shop online, I prefer to have my order shipped via UPS
Ground. This way I know I will get it between 3-5 days roughly and I
know about what time as well. Unfortunately, shipping UPS these days
can be a costly venture for my customers! Phew! Who wants to pay the
prices that come up when you can ship for the same amount of time at a
fraction of the price via USPS?
Here is where my usual dilemma lies however; being an online consumer
myself, I understand how important it is to those shopping to have
shipping rates available on the checkout screen, usually before you check
out. This way, you can decide whether or not to comparison shop. If I try to
offer more than just UPS when checking out of Blue Moon Botanicals, the
customer will most likely be unable to find “real time stats” as to what
their shipping cost will be before checkout.
I have yet to find a solution to this problem but am working on it. I strive
to offer quality products at affordable prices along with decent shipping
and that extra personal touch. Now, it’s back to work on shipping…..
As always, check out the store – browse around, sip a nice cup of tea while
burning your favorite incense and enjoy! www.bluemoonbotanicalsny.com
Until next time,
