My Very First Sale

Well I have started my first venture into running a sale, and and it's not as easy as it may seem, I started out thinking I would run it for a week (well five days), I make the coupon code, start the advertising and get so excited I start telling my mother. The first thing that pops out of her mouth, "well that's cool but you should only run it for one day" Damn it, I'm not saying it's bad advice, it's just her opinion and now I'm sitting here thinking well, did I do the right thing, is a week too long, am I gonna get screwed, should I go back and change the dates, wouldn't that look completely unprofessional? Granted this is the same woman who keeps telling me I should raise my prices. It's not that I don't appreciate the vote of confidence but I'm not interested in gouging people, and after all this is all still new to me and I want to be able to sell. I guess that's what's it's like for all small businesses just starting out, trial and error.

(Use coupon code PresD221 upon checkout Monday - Friday for free shipping ~good from 2/21/11 until 2/25/11~ Happy Shopping!!)
