troops in Iraq.

Greetings!
Whew! We made it through our first month on the web and it has been an exciting time for us!
In under three weeks we have had over 2500 website hits, 24 bookings in travel, scheduled three catering events
and sold out of many of the handmade products!
I hope you have enjoyed receiving our various newsletters and promotion emails. We have been testing several features and marketing avenues and the website has been busy with all the "clicking around!" I cannot thank you enough for all your kind words of encouragement AND words of sound advice. The website has been updated with new products, services and new features. Due to many requests, I have added free how-to tips, helpful hints, recipes & party ideas and feature a quick and easy craft project each month. You may also notice the new "Events" tab. Please be sure to check out this month's event on Sept. 8th.
I have also added a blogging forum on the website to help you vocalize your questions, ideas, advice and general comments. See the article and link below for more information on how to access and add your comments.
Starting in November, the new, easier-to-navigate storefront will be available. Currently the checkout system doesn't allow much diversity. The new online store will still offer PayPal and credit/debit card payments but be much easier to specify exactly what you want in one purchase.
Finally, I hope you received and completed my email survey. If not, PLEASE take a minute to complete this survey so that I may understand fully what you like/don't like/would like to see in my newsletters and on my website. If you did not receive the survey, click this link: Website Survey . I will post the results at the end of the month.
With all that said, I hope you will continue to support my business efforts. If at ANY time you wish to stop receiving updates and promotions from me, please use the link at the top of this page to opt-out.
Thanks again for your support. The encouragement from my family, friends and associates is what pushed me to start The Kendal Companies. It will be those same people who will help me continue to learn, improve and hopefully grow.

IT's FOOTBALL TIME!
Not everybody calls themselves DAWG fans, but here at The Kendal Companies, we bleed red and black!
In the South, football fever isn't really seasonal. It's a year 'round thing! During the off season, all Southerners think about is "Is it August yet?" Then, from Picture Day at UGA to the Playoffs and (this year's National Title Game), UGA fans wear their team colors and you better not call during the game on Saturday!
The Kendal Companies offers many customized UGA products and gifts. Check out our website for the complete collection which includes Chocolate party favors, children and baby gifts, customized cards and much more!
