Tundra Tools Update #8: Opening/Trial Week

Last week, Tundra Tools opened behind the circulation desk for our trial. On Monday the 20th, we ended up not opening because of miscommunication and because we were not quite prepared. On Wednesday, Tundra Tools officially opened for the first time. We brought in containers to hold our items and stored everything in Kate's locker for easy transport to the library. Many people became aware of the business because of the time we chose to open (during break). We made a few sales, and some customers gave us feedback about our store and new items we should stock. After school that day, we purchased earphones and iPhone chargers to add to our inventory. Our most popular items have been highlighters, pens, and iPhone chargers. However, we made a mistake and ended up selling one of our chargers for the wrong price, causing us to lose five dollars. It was not a huge loss, but it helped us to reassess our communication. Also, we have observed that Tundra Tools gets the most business during break rather than during our free periods. This week, we plan to meet with Mrs. Sanderson to discuss our trial week and future plans for Tundra Tools.
