But for me, I think it is perfect!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: white; font-size: large;">Don't get me wrong.....I am the furthest thing from a winter lover but all of the dreary dark days that we have had since October has me ready for a change!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: white; font-size: large;">The drop in temperature has caused a rise in spirit around here! A little bit of snow has given new excitement to the boring backyard as my children have been extastic about getting out to play. The Christmas decorations look as they should now, with a sprinkling (or dumping, depending on where you live!) of the white stuff. Singing carols seem timely now and putting on all those layers seems worth it!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

As mentioned, everything looks a little nicer with the fresh snow, so it was a perfect day for a picture. :)</span></div><br />

Happy customers are the focus, for all aspects of our business. We focus on great products and prices, as well as exceptional customer service.</span><br />
<span style="color: cyan; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Customer service for us goes past the sale. We strive to be flexible for pick-ups, offer free delivery and refunds on all of our items. Each one of our customers is very important to us, and we try to be compassionate when life gets in the way for someone who was planning to come by and pick up their order.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: cyan; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">We think that these features are appreciated by our customers, especially since there aren't very many places that we shop at that we get that kind of experience.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: cyan; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Part of business ownership is also facing unhappy customers; customers who are disappointed with our product or service. One of the chances we take when following up with customers is that they may have hated anything or everything about ri-VYOO!! Although difficult to hear, it is also our last chance to reverse the dissatisfaction and instead of losing a customer, make this customer very happy once again.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: cyan; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">We have had that situation today.... an unhappy customer and therefore an unhappy business owner. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: cyan; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">As time goes on, I am sure that simple statistics would say that we will face more unhappy customers. But we hope that all of our customers, both new and long term, understand that our policies are not in place to anger anyone. Our policies are there to ensure a (hopefully) mistake-proof system and a better experience for all. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: cyan; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I am sure that time will also see our policies change and evolve... hopefully fine tuning a great little retail concept into an outstanding one. </span><br />
<br />

<span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You, more correctly, YOU did it! </span><br />
<span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Thank you to all of our wonderful fans in getting us up to 276 fans (at last check) on our facebook page </span><a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Barrie-ON/ri-VYOO/102136757527"><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">http://www.facebook.com/pages/Barrie-ON/ri-VYOO/102136757527</span></a><span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">. </span><br />
<span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We haven't been working very hard on the marketing end of things at ri-VYOO so far. Most of our customers have come from referrals. I'm sure you all know our strong feelings on word of mouth advertising. :) So, although most businesses put marketing at the fore front of their launch, we haven't. We have focused on building a diverse inventory, streamlining our processes and working on achieving our mission statement and intended image. </span><br />
<span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After months and months of working on these things it is really wonderful to get out there and make some in roads with meeting so many new customers! It is so amazing when a new customer takes that chance to reach out and contact us. Many times, they really have little understanding of how we do things around here. Trying out any new store is always like that. Have you ever just wanted to go into some cute little store, but find that you are a bit nervous about it? If you do go inside and it's only you and the shopkeeper in the store that can be even more awkward! All I can say is "Been there, done that!" (actually, I am very guilty of trying to avoid that situation). Since we understanding this feeling, it's so important to make every ri-VYOO customer feel completely comfortable when they call, email or come by. So take the chance! Have a question? Go ahead and ask it!!! </span><br />
<span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Are you skimming through to find out the winner's of our contest? Should I blab on a bit more?</span><br />
<span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">ri-VYOO would like to thank all of all of you for putting the word out about us. </span><br />
<span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We would also like to congratulate <span style="color: orange; font-size: x-large;">James</span> for referring <span style="color: orange; font-size: x-large;">Tiffanie</span> to us. </span><br />
<span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We are so happy to give them each a $25 Gift Certificate!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial; font-size: x-large;">Let's do this again....</span><br />
<span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial; font-size: x-large;">$10.00 Gift Certificates to fans 280 and 290....oh and to the person that refers them!</span>ri-VYOOhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00473122692174152746noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2795024410044804254.post-56051181437219219752010-11-15T09:19:00.000-08:002010-11-15T10:44:45.052-08:00275 = $25!!!Math at ri-VYOO rocks! At least we like to think so!<br />
So here is the number that we are working towards right now: 275. 275 is the number of fans that we are so excited about that we have turned it into a contest. Our 275th fan will get a $25 Gift Certificate to shop at ri-VYOO....and so does the person that referred them!<br />
Pretty exciting!!!!<br />
But let's go back to math for a moment. What exactly can $25 get you anyway? A hoody and a T? Maybe some jeans? We thought that we should give you some ideas of how far $25 gets you with ri-VYOO....<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">November 11th. </span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">The one day that we set aside to think about everything that we have as a country. </span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">The freedom that we have and the countless men and women who have defended that freedom for us. </span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">"Lest we Forget" is the moto of the day. </span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;"> But that has got me thinking. </span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">How many of us truly remember? </span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">How many of us can even begin to understand?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #cc0000;">As a person who has lived my entire life within the safety of the GTA, how can I "forget" when I have no reality to truly understand. I have always been afforded my luxury of freedom to say what ever I want (sometimes to the chagrin of others), to go wherever I have wanted to, when I have wanted to and how I have chosen to get there. <span style="background-color: black;">Education has been mine to <span id="hotword"><span id="hotword" name="hotword" onclick="this.style.backgroundColor='#b5d5ff';return hotWord(this);" onmouseout="this.style.backgroundColor='transparent'" onmouseover="this.style.cursor='default'" style="background-color: transparent; cursor: default;">capitalize on, the Arts mine to enjoy, and travel to take advantage of (whenever it makes it into the family budget). </span></span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;"></span></span><br />
<span name="hotword" onclick="this.style.backgroundColor='#b5d5ff';return hotWord(this);" onmouseout="this.style.backgroundColor='transparent'" onmouseover="this.style.cursor='default'" style="background-color: transparent; color: #cc0000; cursor: default; font-size: large;">As mom to young children, this is a very hard concept to teach. How do you teach everything that we take for granted? As an adult, I can not honestly imagine a life any other way. I cannot imagine the horror of a war on our homeland.....or even of having someone I love away with their safety in question. I can, however, imagine the dread of my children not having the same Canadian freedom that I know nothing else but.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;"></span></span><br />
<span name="hotword" onclick="this.style.backgroundColor='#b5d5ff';return hotWord(this);" onmouseout="this.style.backgroundColor='transparent'" onmouseover="this.style.cursor='default'" style="background-color: transparent; color: #cc0000; cursor: default; font-size: large;">So, with this Remembrance Day upon us, I have chosen to embrace "Lest We Understand". Teaching my children the importance of valuing what we have as a country and why we have it. Hopefully the coming generation will not have horrific stories pertaining to the defence of our country. We can only hope that in the future those who stand for our country do just that, without the worry of bloodshed and only in the pursuit of peace.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><br />

Your bravery makes you hero's and patriotism is to be envied. </span><br />

"Review" is such a blah, unexciting word that we thought that we needed something a little more memorable!! The idea behind the name "review" is twofold. Firstly, it is based on the idea that our inventory is getting "reviewed" a second time. We thought that it was really just a little nicer than saying recycled or used.

<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><span style="font-size: large;">As ri-VYOO continues to grow and pick up momentum, we have the fortune of meeting many new people. We have added many new fans this week, so a big "Welcome" to you, and I have had the chance to introduce myself personally to the many new buyers and sellers who have been by. I always take a little something away from each conversation. It's so interesting to find out how these people found out about us and what encouraged them to come by to buy or sell. Many of our customers are by referral, something that we are so grateful for, while others have just been searching for alternative options to buy or sell recycled clothing. </span></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><span style="font-size: large;">As ri-VYOO has grown in service time (we are over 1 year old already!) it is also amazing to see the relationships that we are building with our customers. Customers who originally made a very small purchase to get a feel for what we were about are now coming by regularly and are very confident in knowing what quality of clothing and service they can expect from ri-VYOO. There really no better feeling than that as a retailer! These customers have also been patient when mistakes have been made (last week was a very bad week for mistakes!) and know that we are more than happy to right the wrong.</span></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><span style="font-size: large;">I would like to share an email that I received yesterday:</span></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

</div>ri-VYOOhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00473122692174152746noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2795024410044804254.post-47342105081546551012010-10-27T08:23:00.000-07:002010-10-27T08:24:17.438-07:00<span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;">One of the best marketing tools that any business owner has is word of mouth. Word of mouth is a strong tool because it gives a potential customer tangible information about a product or service. We are all much more likely to try something that we have heard from friends or family about how great it is, rather than just seeing or hearing an advertisement about it. News travels fast when people find something new that they have liked and can't wait to tell a friend about it. Social Networking is built on this. It is great to be able to join a group and share your experiences with others. Those who haven't tried it can also benefit from finding out the true hard facts about whether they should give it a go too.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;">A business has the opportunity with every interaction with a customer to strengthen this word of mouth promotion. Every great transaction, great sale price or amazing new product that a customer has experience with is a chance for growth. Have you ever been to a store and found the greatest buys? Chances are you couldn't wait to get the chance to tell someone about it! And so it goes on, just like the 80's shampoo commercial with friends telling friends telling friends.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;">At<span style="background-color: black; color: orange;"> ri-VYOO</span>, we take this very seriously. So much of our business comes from referrals. This is awesome, especially since we are unconventional retailers. We know how unusual it is to come to a residence to pick up your online shopping, but we also know our strengths and the things that make<span style="color: orange;"> ri-</span><span style="color: orange;">VYOO</span> a good alternative to shopping some better known street-front retailers.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;">So THANK YOU!!!!!!! to everyone who has given<span style="color: orange;"> ri-VYOO</span> a try and has taken the time to tell someone about us. It is word of mouth from our customers like you that help us continue to grow.</span>ri-VYOOhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00473122692174152746noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2795024410044804254.post-10297968533430468912010-10-20T07:28:00.000-07:002010-10-20T07:29:05.946-07:00Technology for Trendy Tots!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsadHAjwrRZmNwaQb4YxWqWmEUDcSEuyLAI8SObRmYOmQCId0Rp0HXOUtxTyj0se9Jy1DMKwwdSDiFOD914Z-VUYkzUNxHws6WrevCYE4mJZHauS7-Dj3noLKnPTRPEndJtBNHh0jYEaQ/s1600/IMG_3842rev.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ex="true" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsadHAjwrRZmNwaQb4YxWqWmEUDcSEuyLAI8SObRmYOmQCId0Rp0HXOUtxTyj0se9Jy1DMKwwdSDiFOD914Z-VUYkzUNxHws6WrevCYE4mJZHauS7-Dj3noLKnPTRPEndJtBNHh0jYEaQ/s320/IMG_3842rev.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><span style="background-color: black; color: magenta; font-size: large;">Isn't technology great.....when it works?</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><br />
<span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;"></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: magenta; font-size: large;">As we experience Facebook problems today, it brings to our attention how quickly we become thrown off-kilter when the gadgets that we use everyday don't work. The Internet and Facebook are the fulcrum of our business. We are all able to shop without stepping into an actual store because of these things and are very well aware of how our computer can save us time and money. Who would have ever thought that Facebook could have helped us keep our kid's dressed in cool trendy clothes, while saving stresses on us? </span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><br />
<span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;"></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: magenta; font-size: large;">It really is truly incredible!!!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><br />
<span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;"></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: magenta; font-size: large;">But, these systems are only great when they work. Although the interfaces of such applications like Facebook and Twitter may seem stationary and unchanging, there are continuous small changes going on where we can't see them, until they interfere with how we do things! No one complains when changes to these things are seamlessly implemented or just better our experience. As soon as there is a learning curve though, the reaction changes!!!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: magenta; font-size: large;">Hopefully, that is what is happening today on Facebook. We are unable to see the comments that you have made on our items. This leaves us a bit of a void.... unable to contact our customers or see if there are questions to answer. We have our fingers crossed that this just a short-term problem. In the meantime, I guess we need to make some changes too and back to work behind the scenes on </span><a href="http://www.ri-vyoo.com/"><span style="background-color: black; color: magenta; font-size: large;">http://www.ri-vyoo.com/</span></a><span style="background-color: black; color: magenta; font-size: large;"> 's ecomm store. :)</span><br />

Here is something else that is awesome; a<span style="color: orange;"> ri</span><span style="color: orange;">-VYOO</span> story that Amie chose to share with us:</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: yellow; font-size: large;">I have been shopping ri<span style="color: orange;">-vyoo</span> for a while now and think it's great. The service is awesome and the clothes are always in amazing condition. I love shopping <span style="color: orange;">ri-VYOO</span> and the great thing is that it saves me a ton of money instead of going out and buying all brand new, especially with 4 kids and 2 of them boys that wear out their clothes on a regular basis. Thank you for running such a great business I know I will definitely keep buying :)</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: yellow; font-size: large;"></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: yellow;"><br />

How it benefits everyone at some level. It can make you feel good morally and help in your pocketbook. But many of these resources that "environmentally-friendly" focus on are limited resources. Resources that we need to manage our use of as to not deplete them.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: cyan; font-size: large;">As families grow from 1 to many children, and the calendar fills up with all the activies that everyone in the family is part of, it becomes very apparent that there is a resource that is stretched even more so than a dollar. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: cyan; font-size: large;">Time is a non-renewable resource. With the many things that we Canadians choose to cram into a day, many of us are looking to find ways to maximize our measly 24 hours each day. Shopping online has helped this, especially in an area like Barrie, where everything is so spread out geographically. With the children's clothing stores spread all over town, looking for that special item can easily absorb your morning while you go from store to store. It is a huge time saver when you can look online to see if we have what you need, comment on it. A quick stop on your way to complete your other errands and the rest of the morning is yours. </span><br />
<span style="color: cyan; font-size: large;">We have had many customers tell us that they appreciate how easy shopping online with us is. Adriana was kind to share her <span style="color: orange;">ri-VYOO</span> shopping experience with us to post on our Blog. Here is what she had to say:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;">I have had the pleasure of experiencing ri-vyoo as both a customer and through selling my children's previously enjoyed clothing. I must say that both experiences have been quick, easy and enjoyable! With two children of different genders, there is no opportunity for re-using clothing within this household so much of my son's clothing ends up stored in bins with no future use in sight! As well, purchasing an entire wardrobe for my new daughter, although a lot of fun, can get to be expensive! My first experience with<span style="color: orange;"> ri</span><span style="color: orange;">-vyoo</span> was when I jumped onto facebook one day and a beautiful white coat called out to me! It was so sweet I just had to have it! Then looking at the price, I just couldn't believe my eyes...there was really no reason not to buy right then and there. Having had limited on-line shopping experience, this process was somewhat foreign to me but I found it to be so easy and satisfying! Upon receiving my first package I noticed that it looked pretty, just as it would after having lugged kids to a specialty shop but without the hassle, and the coat was in perfect condition. I would never have know that it had been previously enjoyed by another sweet little girl :) I was hooked. Then, going through my son's closet, came across the opportunity to re-use some of his previous costumes which, of course, had only been worn once! The sales experience was also quick and efficient. I ended up feeling really good about not having to store bulky costumes, knowing that another child could be just as excited to wear them as my son had been, and to make a little cash as well! Overall, I would definitely shop with<span style="color: orange;"> ri-vyoo</span> again and would recommend them to anyone with children. </span><span style="color: magenta;"><br />

We are aware of the importance of saving our globe's energy and environment. </span></div><div><span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff99ff;"></span> </div><div><span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff99ff;">From our prospective, there are at least 2 great thing about being "green".... </span></div><div><span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff99ff;"></span> </div><div><span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff99ff;">The first is that making small changes in our own household impacts not only on our neighbours, but also at some point becomes global and generational. If we all do it, it becomes the way that we all live and benefits us now and our children's children. Again, something that we have all heard.</span></div><div><span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff99ff;"></span> </div><div><span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff99ff;">The second one, is that being "green" in a simple sense saves money. That may sound like an oxy-moron if you have ever considered alternative energy or heating sources like wind or solar power, as the prices for those commodities still make them premium items. But, if you consider "green" actions such as buying and recycling used clothing, there is only opportunity to save plenty of money. </span></div><div><span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff99ff;"></span> </div><div><span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff99ff;">ri-VYOO's blog back in September touched on this opportunity to save money. It is very possible to decrease your clothing budget and increase your children's wardrobe! Consider selling the items to ri-VYOO that won't fit any longer instead of throwing them out or storing them with all of the other bins in the basement. This puts money in your wallet and less in the landfill. Buying used clothing is also "green". It makes you feel great about increasing the life of the garment, reduces the carbon footprint of yourself and the item....oh, and saves you some serious coin!!! </span></div><div><span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff99ff;">Now that is saving our resources at it's best!!! </span></div><div><span style="color:#ff99ff;"></span> </div><div> </div>ri-VYOOhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00473122692174152746noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2795024410044804254.post-30144511827912500602010-10-11T06:23:00.000-07:002010-10-11T06:47:35.848-07:00Things to Be Thankful For<span style="font-size:130%;color:#33ff33;">Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!!</span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;color:#33ff33;">What a wonderful busy week! </span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;color:#33ff33;">Here at ri-VYOO, we have been working hard on improvements to our laundry area and facilities and our foyer. As you may already know, all of our inventory is freshly laundered before it is catalogued and stored. The great thing about this is that all of our items are clean and ready to use when they are purchased! The bad thing about this is that it wore out the old washer and dryer!!</span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;color:#33ff33;">As the finishing touches are completed, we are very thankful to have all of the work of creating a more efficient area over with and also to have had the opportunity to need to make these improvements because of all of our wonderful ri-VYOO customers. ri-VYOO's focus as always been to be as environmentally friendly as possible, with recycled products and packaging, and biodegradable detergents. We are excited to now be able to use less energy and water in this process, as well.</span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;color:#33ff33;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;color:#33ff33;">At the foundation of any business is it's customers. Without these customers, no business can stay standing. We are very thankful for our customers....people who are willing to shop "outside of the store" and support local independant retailers. Karen recently shared her experience of shopping ri-VYOO. Here is what Karen had to say:</span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff9900;">"I picked up from ri-VYOO and was greeted with a smile, while my products were packaged neatly in tissue paper and packaged in a pretty bag - a very pleasant shopping experience."</span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;color:#33ff33;">Thank you so much for sharing Karen! We are happy to share a $15 Gift Certificate with you.</span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;color:#33ff33;">Enjoy the day everyone! We all have so much to celebrate on this wonderful holiday!</span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;color:#33ff33;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;color:#33ff33;"></span>ri-VYOOhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00473122692174152746noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2795024410044804254.post-84588395438482035422010-10-08T11:54:00.000-07:002010-10-08T12:04:19.511-07:00Help!

Although there is more than one person behind ri-VYOO, almost all of the customer interaction is done by me, Maryann. </span><br /><span style="color:#cc33cc;">Buying online, as mentioned in a previous blog, can seem a little bit intimidating, but the more you know and understand what to expect, the more comfortable the whole process is. :) </span><br /><span style="color:#cc33cc;">I am a mom of 3 children under 7 years old and am 100% passionate about customer service and bringing value into our customers' ri-VYOO experiences. I bring over 20 years of retail and business experience to ri-VYOO and am focused on finding ways for both our family and others to save money. </span><br /><span style="color:#cc33cc;">I love ri-VYOO personally for 2 reasons: </span><br /><span style="color:#cc33cc;"> 1) I love shopping online rather than driving around going from store to store to find what I am looking for and </span><br /><span style="color:#cc33cc;">2) With 3 children to dress ri-VYOO makes a lot of financial sense for us, both for buying and for recycling outgrown items.</span><br /><span style="color:#cc33cc;">My background is in fashion and I love to dress both myself and my children stylishly and find satisfaction in receiving compliments on how my kids are always dressed so great.....especially since I know that their great wardrobes didn't compromise their future university savings!
