Check out Annie's Country Pantry in West Racine! Give them some love by sharing this on your page and visiting!!

We are on the move to greater things...are you with us? In the next few days we will be sharing pictures of baskets we have made or are making. We would like to find all the customers we can through referrals and my hitting the pavement, soliciting not only our loyal customers, but, Corporations, LLC's, Businesses of all types and all your friends.
We are going to begin a campaign to expose who we really are, Master Craftsmen. We are asking that IF you buy gifts for anyone...the postman, your boss, employees or family members, WOULD You consider using Annie's Country Pantry for those Gifts. We also recently began a "Get out the Word" campaign for Gift Certificates and just simpy referrals.
WE MUST generate Revenue. We must. This year has enabled me to become a better person, begin to think more deeply, ask more of myself and (those around me) and if we are going to survive...we must THRIVE...it is that simple.
So, in the next days, messages will be coming out asking for those referrals. Please dont hesitate to forward any messages and send referral emails to me in a PM.
Folks, we, Ronald Muller and Ann Muller are fighting for survival, we are NOT quitters, not in my vocabulary...so what can we do....be creative. One year ago I couldnt make a basket from a whole store, now, Im more creative.
So, are you willing to support us with your own purchases, referrals to your employers, Gift Certificate purchases etc..Be creative. AS of right this moment, due to personnel issues--it's always that right) we won't be shipping...I WILL do some small shipments, but having perishable, freezable food will be a difficult task to have packages arrive looking well and being intact.
Help us brainstorm...while I may only be able to generate ONE idea successfully, we are looking for that idea.
Here is a picture of a basket I was really blessed and fortunate to have sold last year on Christmas Eve Eve...It rescued me....
Are you in this with Annie's Country Pantry thriving in West Racine? We are!! Blessings friends...sharpen those ideas, put on your thinking caps...WE ARE HERE TO STAY!!!
