We should all give back

We also like to give back to the community. We are trying to set up a regular donation to women who have had breast cancer and can't afford a wig. Also, to donate to Children's Miracle Network, the Humane Society (we just love animals). It is not as simple as it seems to have a company donate instead of an individual as well as how to setup the fund and transfer the money to the charity. In another year we will be well on our way to helping those around us, selling lots of wigs to satisfied customers and my daughter can still work at home with her children (my wonderful grandkids)

Remember to take a look at all the new and exciting wigs we have to offer on the website www.thewigstop.com

See you soon!

A Funny Story about Rachael Welch

One of our funny stories is that we were trying to get the contract in place for the Rachael Welch line. We also had a training class at that time with about 7 other people running around the office. I kept telling my daughter that I needed to call Rachael Welch. That certainly turned a head or two. An hour later I mentioned that I really needed to get back back to Rachael Welch and call before the end of the day. Finally one of the ladies in the office was brave enough to ask, who did you say you were calling? I realized that I had not mentioned it was the manufacturer of the Rachael Welch wigs and not the famous lady herself. I had to confess that I did not know Rachael Welch and she did not know me. I was trying to contact the manufacturer and get the wigs in for the website. We all had a big laugh over that one.

WIGS, WIGS, WIGSTOP!

It has been a busy year and a half getting in touch with all the wholesalers and learning all about wigs. What is a lace front wig? What is a wig vacuum? I didn't know they made one of those, or what it looked like. Yes, we do carry a wig vacuum and have sold one. We wanted to have a product that was quality. (I know that sounds so cliche). I also wanted to be able to buy one myself on my budget. So we found all kinds of wigs at all kinds of prices. It has now been about 2 years and I feel I can talk dept about wigs. the blessing has been that my daughter has been working at home just like I imagined and we both like trying on the wigs and checking out the new styles. I also realize there are many manufactures. We carrry wigs by, Rachael Welch, Jon Renue, Rene of Paris, Bobbie Boss, Revlon, Wig America, Tressallure, and some more I can't remember at this moment.

Why Wigs?

So, why am i selling wigs on the Internet? I actually have an answer to that. I started the web business so my daughter could stay home with her 3 children. I came across this program that would help her do just that, but then needed to decide what to sell. I am a computer nerd and she is into making beaded jewelry. I began to pray and ask what could I sell that would do well and we both could get into. What came up was... Wigs. So began our search far and wide for all kinds of wigs and who actually made them and sold them. Research had to be done first. Not my favorite part but it was the beginning of www.thewigstop.com . I liked the name so it stuck.

I hope you enjoy my site and this blog,
