For most of us 2008 was a year of great difficulty. The economy was a major issue for everyone from wholesalers to retailers. Bryant Park was a perfect example of this.
Sales we good but not as good as usual. Traffic was down but the average sale was double! Tourism was way off but the New Yorkers came through! Returning customer who came to replenish and review all the new items made it well worth the effort of maintaining the shop. For those who did come to the shop at Bryant Park a sneak preview of all the 2009 goodies were there for the taking. If you look verrrrrryyyyy close at the pictures of the shop in Bryant Park you can see some of the newest additions that will be available online and at the trade shows in '09!
