Your tips for Small Business Success |
Brick & Mortar – No More
Traditional Business Failed
In 1978 Keepsakes Etc started in Youngstown Ohio as a traditional brick and mortar gift store. In the late 90’s many of the small retailers experienced ever increasing competition from national brand stores.
Internet Success
In 2000 Keepsakes Etc closed their Mall stores and opened www.keepsakes-etc.com - we have never looked back.
We have succeeded by focusing on a small niche part of our old business and continued our focus on customer support.
Ten years later, Keepsakes Etc is the leading provider of Throw Blankets and Wall Tapestries on the Internet and we have just opened our second Internet property Simply Bags featuring Personalized Tote Bags
