Life of an Online Business – My Pillow place

It always amazes me when we get sales on days that I think people won’t be near a computer like today…Fathers Day 2008…It is the middle of the month and May has proven to be just an average month.  Not too great, but not horrific either (in terms of sales). 

I had an epiphany recently and I decided that our decorative pillow section was a pointless niche for us.  And it could be for a number of reasons.  The most important being that our selection was poor.  We just couldn’t find a good supplier of quality decorative throw pillows.   So, I nixed that from our site and I turned the decorative pillow section into a soft chair and ottomans page.  This works perfectly for us because we’re desperately trying to advance into the soft furniture market.  And when adding foam furniture and bean bag chairs, we’re slowly growing that collection.  I haven’t really even added any product to those pages except for placeholder pages as I create the new product web pages.  But it will help to get the ottoman splash page indexed faster if I put it up now.
