Loyal Customers make Dependable Business

Creative personalized gifts, the best customer service and dependability pay off big time.  This summer has shown us that thirteen years of putting our customers first is continuing to pay off, even after closing our brick and morter store.

Last January we as Anything Joe's stepped out on a limb and decided not to re-sign our lease at Barefoot Landing, a tourist based shopping center in North Myrtle Beach, SC.  Summers were great, but the long winters with few customers made it impossible to actually feel like we would ever be profitable as a business in this new economy.  That's why when the time came to sign the lease,  we passed.

We felt we could make it on our web site sales and doing a few markets and craft shows.    We are excited to say this is working, but our loyal customers who have purchased from us for years wanted more.  So we compromised and opened a "Showroom" where we process our internet orders and paint our personalized gifts for shipping.  Here they can still touch and feel the products, make a decision, place their order and pick up the following day.

We have been overwhelmed with the response to this showroom and the visitors we are having come in love it .  There are no toys or extra things to distract, just our personalized gifts such as personalized Backpacks, Lunch boxes and school supplies that are a big need this time of year.  We also have on display our personalized piggy banks, personalized Christmas ornaments, personalized room decor and personalized baby gifts.

It has also been a blessing to hear all the comments of when folks began shopping with us for their kids and now are having Grandkids.  How their child's room is decorated with all Anything Joe's or how they have always used Anything Joe's Dance Bagsand are now headed to an audition for "So you think you can Dance!"

If you are one of our long time customers, thanks for the support during this move.  The biggest help you can be is to daily check our our web site and request that your friends do the same.  The more clicks the search engines see, the more obvious our relevance as a Shopping Site and thus our ranking.   Making links to our web site help also, for instance "We recommend Links"  on your Mommy Group page are a huge help.  Include us in your Facebook page. Include us in your Twitter.  We would be very grateful and would love to hear that you had done this.

If you are a new customer or might be a customer one day, we hope we can serve you as we have all of these for the last 14 years.

Please post responses!!
