Nursery Rugs, Sunhats, Sunglasses and Hampers

Nursery Rugs


Well this is the start of my day on this glorious Friday with the sun shining and a load of boxes that need sorted out. Like most of the products we have at 4little1s.com, as soon as you see them you really do notice the quality and effort that has been put into them in the first place. Take these rugs I am moving around, they would go really well in any child's or baby nursery and will make a wooden floor a much soften and fun place to play on. Or even a carpet, rugs offer a great shield from spilt milk, juice etc.  I thought I would post a few pictures to give you an idea of what is available on the 4little1s.com website rug wise.....

First off we have the rugs that we need to move around and put in a better order. The ZOO ANIMAL RUG on the left is a brilliant rug as it features four fun looking animals that you may find in a zoo. All smiling and waiting to have fun. These rugs will really lift a nursery and draws the eyes downwards towards this lovely fun rug for kids. The Zoo animal rug is 3ft x 3ft and is made from 100% hand tufted acrylic. Just look at those cheeky looking faces of Mr monkey, Mrs giraffe, Mr lion and Ms hippo. The rug is roughly half an inch thick and your little one will simply love it. Great for playing with toys on the floor with....you could even play 'going to the zoo....'

One of the old favourite children's rug's has to be the CAR PLAY RUG. These rugs have roads, houses, lakes and lots of places to visit like churches etc. Children will play for hours with their cars as they drive around the pretend roads and visit each others houses. Great value and a really simple idea that will keep kids entertained for hours.  What's more when they have finished playing with the car rug, simply roll it up and put it somewhere out of the way with minimal fuss and clutter.

End of month ramblings....

Wow what a month June has been for us. Record sales over last June and especially on the furniture this month ! What has been going on ? New furniture supplier (Saplings Nursery Furniture) has been added this month and no sooner did we add the cots the sales and enquiries started coming in.  Still have the same questions from customers about should I go for a cot bed or a cot and we are happy to help as much as we can. There has been real interest in nursery furniture individual items and nursery furniture sets as well.

Some other new products added this month to help with sales and the range of baby gifts is really starting to get some traction now. Quite excited about the Nappy Cakes - Diaper cakes that we recently added to the site...what a great idea ! Had not seen or heard of them before but they have been around for awhile I understand.  Baby gifts this month have been a real hit and especially the Humphrey's Corner Record Book for some reason ..... lovely gift.

The weather has also played an interesting part with us pushing different products depending on the weather that day.  Good examples of this being waterproof kids stuff and Banz sungear

New CRM system and other business intelligence tools are now starting to give some value back which is good. Plenty of business analysis reports and data that need to be careful we don't suffer from paralysis from analysis. Some of the 'blue sky thinking' on different marketing approaches have helped as well.....some were pretty wild, but obviously worked !

Plenty of SEO work completed this month and since Google has done the Panda update we are glad to see all the hard work has paid off. Its been a while since I worked in IT but glad to see the 'old' methods are still working when it come down to good old hard work.

We continue to try and find new suppliers that are looking to sell their products on the 4little1s.com website and will continue to push over the coming months. If you are one of them, please do feel free to drop us a line via email.
