Hey, Barbara, this is Gina.

I'm calling from Williamsburg, Virginia.

I am in New York, or, though, I'm sure you can tell that I'm not Southern.

My first question is, what do you think is the biggest challenge for a boutique cookie

business in today's climate, given walk-in traffic, is just about opening up again?

I know you invest in a daisy cake, so you know the sweet business pretty well, so just

wanted to hear some thoughts on that.

My second question is, with limited funds available, would you choose to spend your money

on packaging or advertising?

Gina, first of all, everything is opening up, so you're in for some heydays, and you're

going to do a lot of bang-up sales, so get ready for the tide coming in as it's coming

in for everybody.

Your important question, how do I spend my money wisely?

You're on limited budget.
