Loretta's in Lafayette, LA - January Retailer of the Month

[caption id="attachment_358" align="aligncenter" width="480" caption="Lorettas' Grandmother's Buttons Display"][/caption]At Grandmother's Buttons, we're nothing without our retailers.  They're the folks out there who get our jewelry displayed, promoted and in the hands of customers who love it. 

So we decided we'd start naming a retailer of the month and giving you all the information you need to locate that retailer.  This month we chose Loretta's, located at 504 Guilbeau Rd. Suite D Lafayette, LA.  70506 (337-984-5161).  Ask for Loretta or Stephanie when you call.

Loretta's found us at the Dallas Market last winter.  They chose Grandmother's Buttons because it's such a unique line.  Loretta says, "We knew our customers would love this line - it's so versatile - people can just buy individual button earrings or necklaces and add to their existing jewelry, or they can create their own unique piece." 

Loretta's is a boutique that's been in business for 8 years selling cosmetics, skincare, perfumes, jewelry, handbags and other accessories.  They've expanded to 2 locations, offering a personal touch and customer service that can't be found at larger stores.  

Loretta says they've found that the best way to display Grandmother's Buttons jewelry is to create a very vintage-looking space and display.  "This draws attention to the jewewlry and reminds customers what the jewelry's made of. "

Any piece with lockets seems to sell the best, and the low price point makes Grandmother's Buttons a line that easily pleases customers.

We asked Loretta if she had any suggestions for us:  "Your customer service is great!  We think the line would do especially well if the lockets and fleur de lis charms were sold individually so they could be added on a chain with the buttons so that customers could make their own necklace.  People love to make their own jewelry.  

So if the charms were individual, the customer would have that versatility.  We also have a lot of customers ask for some type of charm bracelet where they could add the buttons and charms on as they collect them."

Great ideas, Loretta.  We will, as always, try to do everything we can to make the line easier to sell.  Thanks for all your nice comments, and thanks for being Grandmother's Buttons' first retailer of the month.

If you get a chance, drop by Loretta's and congratulate her!  Don't forget to admire her gorgeous Grandmother's Buttons display.
