The Book store hardly ever make $100.00 a day! Whew big problem. Veronica was in constant search for new idea. Innovative ideas. What she needs to do? What she needs to adjust or change if there's any? She was sleepless for almost a week. Just weeks not months. Her husband George couldn't help at first. He knew there is something bothering her but afraid to ask.
The truth is Veronica doesn't want George to know the problem about the store. It was her business not George's. her husband has its own job to take care of, to settle and concentrate on. George is a carpenter - contractor for realty companies in their community.
George told her maybe it needs a new name. Finally George learned the problem. He's not stupid. He can perceive someone else's mind. Not that he's got ESP. He's just used to studying "learned behavior."
Maybe new paint on the wall, new shelves, new design and style for the interior part of the wall. And ...maybe a widely acceptable advertisement.
Veronica doesn't want any change on its name. The book store doesn't need a new name. It was named after her grandma. I don't like my grandmother being upset.
"For God sake! Your grandma is already dead for so many years!" George couldn't help but yelled at her in disgust.
Veronica not only is superstitious but also believes in roaming and restless spirit.
Somehow she was eluded to have the store closed for 7 days so that they can renovate and start anew.
The change would be from the ceiling down to the floor.
Renovations:
Paint the ceiling
Paint the wall - navy blue with deep space design of the milky way, the sun and the 9 planets and a space ship
Change the flooring either carpet or hard wood (parquet), or tiles?
Lighting fixtures
Hmm that could be it! Great idea. The display on the wall is a great astounding attraction for the kids and adult.
After a week of renovation and cleaning they have it advertised in the leading newspaper in town and into the internet. The phone never stops ringing asking if they have books and textbooks that they need in schools.
Also the teenage kids suggested a marathon of storytellers guesting at the bookstore where parents can bring their children ages 4 to 10 to listen and hear the storytelling rituals every afternoon at 1:00 pm up to 2:30 pm. Only on Saturday. Then every month the store features famous or non famous author or authors who would like to launch their new book or literary work of art. Thereby they can also sign the book they had written.
Photo session with the author covers extra charge. With all these special innovative idea would help the book store more than it would help the writers. Somehow it work both ways. They do need each other to survive.
Don't you think?
