Plasticland Has New Digs!

Posted on October 27, 2011 by Rebecca

~ WHEW! ~ What a week! We are exhausted but excited!
Many of you may have noticed that things have been a bit quiet around Plasticland lately… not many new arrivals or restocks, only a few facebook posts, etc… That is because we have been working tirelessly behind the scenes to move Plasticland into a brand new, bigger, better warehouse! YAY! Now we have even more space to house lots more cute inventory. Thank you all for being so patient with us during this time. Now that we are settled we are going to be quickly restocking sold out items, and bringing in lots of adorable new items just in time for the holidays!!!

We’ve already started adding the restocks, so if you’ve been waiting for something to be restocked make sure to check out our New Arrivals section ♥

So You Want To Start Your Own Business…

Posted on August 15, 2010 by Rebecca

We often get asked how we started our business, and if we have any advice for others who would like to start their own business. Today we received this lovely email from Lauren, so I thought I’d share our response so that others who are interested in this info could also benefit…

[Plasticland] I was just curious about your store and how it first was started. I’ve been a fan for a while and was thinking of starting my own business. Any advice you might have? – Lauren

Hi Lauren,
You can read about us here: http://www.shopplasticland.com/fashion/c/About-Us.html

I have 3 bits of advise that I always give when this question is asked (we learned most of these the hard way)…

1. Do Not borrow any money to start. Scrape together a minimum of $75,000 – $100,000 cash before you decide to even try to open your doors.

2. While you are saving up money work in the industry that you want to own a business in. Running a business is a very different beast than what most people believe it to be, and you should know exactly what you are getting yourself into. Reading business books also helps with back-end concerns like accounting and marketing.

3. Once you have your money and experience in hand, talk to your local SCORE office to get started (but don’t let them talk you into borrowing money, borrowed money is why many businesses fail, a point that has become very obvious during this recession).

Good luck!

Saving up such a large amount of money sounds daunting, I know, but I cannot emphasize that point strongly enough. Debt payments severely interfere with cash flow, and that can strangle a new business.

Saving isn’t as hard as it might seem, and the organization skills, and dedication that you learn while saving up will greatly help you succeed when you are running your future business. For tips on how to save check out books from David Bach and Dave Ramsey.

♥ Calling all artists…

Posted on June 3, 2010 by Rebecca

We are getting ready to start our Illustrated Sticker program again and are looking for 6 new artists to design six exclusive limited edition 2010 monthly stickers that will be included in every package that we ship.

Each chosen artist will be credited on the back of the sticker and will receive 100 free stickers to share with your friends and add to your portfolio. The other 900 stickers featuring your illustration will be sent to PLASTICLAND customers who will most definitely “oooh” and “ahhh” over your superior illustration skills :)

If you would like to take part in this fun project please contact us, and include a link to examples of your fab illustrations.

Calling All Dallas Area Sweet-tooths

Posted on February 14, 2010 by Jordan

Happy Valentine’s Day!

This Valentine’s Day we wanted to share our biggest crush with you – the best little local indie bakery in Plano, TX ♥ The Greene Kitchen. Our constant search for a local bakery that could satisfy our insatiable craving for yummy desserts is over! From cute melt-in-your-mouth cupcakes with cream cheese frosting (the best!), to the sinfully decadent brownies, this bakery DESTROYS all the other competition in town! Like all great bakeries, their large glass display cases feature a constantly changing selection of goodies – so each time you visit, your taste buds will be tempted with something new. And since we’re enamored with all things retro, we especially appreciate the vintage-kitchen inspired decor, the focus on classic homemade recipes, and the friendliest service you could ask for! So if you’re in the DFW Metroplex, make a beeline to their little storefront of happiness and your tummy will thank you!

…how could any review of a bakery be complete without pics?

NOTE: before you get all suspicious – this is not a paid endorsement (though we always accept cupcake bribes), but more of a public service announcement from us to you! Enjoy :)

Credit Card Processing Is Back Up!

Posted on July 3, 2009 by Jordan

If you tried to place an order early this morning, you might have encountered an error when trying to use a credit card. Our credit card processor was having technical issues (ugh!) for a few hours, which are now resolved and we are able to accept credit cards again. Thanks for being patient and we apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused any of you!
