Now what! I’ve got a customer!

Anxiety. Have you ever hosted a party and been so nervous that nobody was going to show up? And when the doorbell rings and the first few people start to trickle through the door, that anxiousness melts away and you start to have fun.
That’s been me this week with CupcakeCabana.net. Anxious that while I think a lot of our designs are fun and knowing what’s in the pipeline, I was worried that I wouldn’t have anybody come to my party.
I’ve had my first customer since going live. A real customer that wasn’t my Dad or my friend over at DollarHotDog. I mean, I know the guy, but he did really buy something online all by himself.
Funny side notes: I don’t typically wear Hawaiian shirts to work and see the little piece of paper taped to the wall. That was a “Tidy Up” sign Superwife made and hang around the office. What a major contributor she was. A year later and the signs have lasted.
So, now I’ve got to *do* something with this order. Mail it out? Holy cow! I’ve got a real customer! What did he get? The Cupcakes, Yo! Magnet.
Just a note…I’m going to close submissions to the Roswell series drawing this evening. So, if you’ve been reading and not commenting…Go ahead and write something!
