Starting out 2010
Today I added the finishing touches on PING which was finally getting the setting on all the blogs right so that they would not be filled with micro blogs and status updates every day! That was a lot of cleaning up every time I wanted to post on here.
The Next Generation Project is officially in the first phase now with most of the things in place and ready to go that I intended to have set up for now. The Network has been informed about where to link to in order to find news and updates, current projects and pictures. etc. I feel it will be easier to get everyone on the same page if there is a common place to find that kind of information instead of having to hunt through mountains of threads. The network is a busy place at times.
While I am working out the last few adjustments to the first phase of Next Gen I hope every one will enjoy the things that will take place with BNW in this bright new year!
Thanks
Neo

How are we different?
With the current flooded market of Lemax retailers on line you might wonder why Building New Worlds would try to sell something that so many other people are selling and how are we different from all the rest. The answer to the second question is very easy! We offer information for the collectors on home to build displays, how to take care of their village pieces and about different lines of villages also. Unlike the other retailers who just want to sell you their products and do not really know how to do displays or really care, we offer you tips and advice on building a village display that you can only get on our free network. We are also collectors so we know what you need and want! While there are some great retailers on line and some who spend a lot of money on ads and such, we spend more time on information and less time and money on things to sell you on us.
Building New Worlds started with the desire to become a one stop place for collectors to find information, get the best products we can offer for collectors and to be a part of the on line community. Our goal is still the same now as it was then. As collectors of Lighted Villages such and Lemax and Department 56 we feel that knowing what to do with the products is as important as trying to sell them to you if not more.
Here is the recent chatter from founder Neo Dreams on the subject of selling verses information:
"I shop on line just like every one else and there are some people I love to buy from. Some I have shopped from since I first started out. They know the products, which is great but, I would not ask them about how to make water features for my village! I really don't even think most of them build villages. They are too busy selling.
When I first started out this venture I didn't do it to make lots of money, I did it because I was wanting a place to shop and find out what I needed to know. What to do with all those pieces I had. Why would I collect this stuff if I just wanted to look at it in a box? That was in plan for BNW. I wanted to make a place that people could learn from and shop at the same time.
Our 2009 launch of the Next Gen of BNW is gearing up for just that. We are revamping the network and the web store to bring information easier, better and in a way that collectors can use. The products will sell themselves."
With that in mind we look forward to the new era of BNW coming in 2010! We know that we are growing and we feel that BNW offers the greatest information and products around! We hope to see you at our web site coming in 2010 and at our Network which is open 24/7 year around. www.buildingnewworlds.ning.com for the best information at the fastest growing on line community for village collectors there is!

The joys of growing
This past week or so we have been working on our latest new toy, Quick Books! It is a task getting to learn all this at once but it is coming along even though it is slow going with so many things to learn at once! I am not at all a comupter geek so getting the thing to send an e-mail through the program took some toying with tonight but I finally got to send out the first invoice of the year through QB! Now we are almost in business. Its a good feeling when you can work through issues and learn something new like that.
Learning curbs are all over the place right now. We are learning more about venders and which ones work for us and which ones we will have to work on fitting in right for them to work for us later. Shipping...what a trip! It is an adventure every day trying to chose the things that make your business work for you. Shipping was one of those also. There are a lot of choices out there but I find the cheapest and easiest works for me.
While things are crazy here being a business owner just starting out in this economy and with all the task and learning is made more interesting buy working for someone else while I get started. This eats into time I need some days but it also pays the bills and gives me some money (later on) to add to the business. It can be hard at times working on their stuff all day and then coming home to find something I have to take care of right away with mine.
Meanwhile the Network is still growing and I am excited about having some time soon to work on a village again myself. I have not had any time for months now to work on one. The Christmas village is still half done and set up in the studio still. Got to take that down and start on a spring and summer one. Maybe this time I can finish it. I want to get some more tutorials on the Network so I hope this is the season for it.
