So today we just wanted to tell you about a little giveaway we are doing over at Facebook. (See, we said we’d do some fun stuff just for our Facebook fans). Become a fan of ours on Facebook and you will automatically be entered to win a $50 gift card to shop at Peonies. (If you are already a fan, you are already eligible, yay).

We have hundreds consignors selling with us now and lots of new stuff coming in each week. That adds up to a huge number of reasons to stay in touch with us on Facebook.

Here’s how it works. On the same day each month we are choosing a winner at random for the $50 gift card. So that means if you become a fan and stay a fan of ours, you get the chance to win not just once, but every month. And $50 goes a loooooooong way at a consignment shop.  The first winner will be chosen this Friday, March 19.

There are other reasons to be on Facebook, too, not the least of which is making sure you don’t get left behind in this crazy new social media driven world. We encourage you to have fun with us: write on the Peonies wall, post photos, ask questions, comment away.

BTW, feel free to friend us, Pam Williams and Laurel Peters. (Maybe send us a note with your friend request and tell us you’re a Peonista so we don’t think you’re a some wacko stalker, k?).

Oooh, you’re going to love Peonies.

We love chatting with customers and friends, even when we’re not together in the shop. Join Peonies on Facebook and when you do, special offers and fun stuff will start coming your way.

Feel free to upload photos, write a comment on the wall, post a link you think you think everyone should know about.  It is a great way to shout it all out so we can help you share it. Which we love doing. Hope to see you there!

Oh, and if you have any doubt about the power of Facebook, you might be curious to know that it is more powerful in directing web traffic than google. Google! Don’t miss out on what’s going on.

Did you happen to catch Women in Business with Nell Merlino and Rhiannon Ally on Better this week? Rhiannon asked Nell how business owners can thrive. It’s a great interview, offering entrepreneurs solid thinking:

#1: Do you have something people really want to buy, not just what others think will do well?

#2: What problem are you solving for customers, and how do you envision your product being sold?

#3: Ask for help!

#4: Make friends with your financial information; understand how you are making $ and how you are losing it.

#5: Go after it! Failure is not final. Learn from your mistakes and move forward.

Part of the segment was filmed at Peonies consignment shop, and owners Pam Williams and Laurel Peters were interviewed. You can watch the video here.

Do you wish you could shop at Peonies, but can never quite make it by the time the shop closes on weekdays? We hear you (and you can stop hounding us with emails, lol.) Peonies consignment shop is now open on Thursday evenings until 7pm, starting this week.
