Congrats on taking the plunge and having an open house. I wanted to have one before CHristmas, but that didn't work out, so I plan on having one after Christmas. I want to mark everything down to get rid of some excess stock and then introduce my spring scents at the same time! I don't think that was too bad for your first one. I agree, giving them a coupon for their next purchase is a good idea. I recently started using the scratch off stickers. My cousin and aunt had bought some stuff and my mom gave them a coupon. Well they turned around and bought more stuff! Most of my coupons are for 10 or 15% off, but some are free shipping (web orders only), one or two are 30% off or I offer 50% off of one item! Good luck if you do it again. Steph
