I start my day at Rock Island Sound by unlocking the doors and setting up for the day ahead. Turning on lights, checking the security system, and starting up computers get everything ready for customers and employees alike.
Once settled at my desk, I begin by checking emails and voicemails. Addressing inquiries about lessons, instrument repairs, and product availability keeps me engaged with our customer base from the outset. Next, I dive into managing our social media presence. Crafting posts that showcase new arrivals, upcoming events like music workshops, and sharing customer testimonials helps maintain our online community's lively interaction.
As the morning progresses, customers start arriving. I shift gears to assist them—whether it's setting up a guitar lesson for a young musician, helping a bassist find the right strings, or providing advice on instrument maintenance. Throughout, I handle intermittent phone calls, addressing scheduling questions and offering guidance on instrument selection for beginners.
Lunchtime offers a brief respite, during which I catch up on industry news and brainstorm ideas for future social media campaigns. I jot down notes for a blog post about guitar maintenance, a topic frequently asked about by our clientele.
In the afternoon, I engage with customers needing repairs—a common issue is diagnosing amplifier problems or explaining our rental terms for musicians preparing for performances. I also enjoy guiding aspiring musicians in selecting instruments and gear suited to their musical style and budget.
As closing time nears, I tidy the store, restock shelves, and prepare invoices for sales and rentals made throughout the day. Finally, I ensure everything is secure, turn off lights, set the alarm, and lock up, reflecting on the day's accomplishments and interactions.
Each day at Rock Island Sound brings new challenges and opportunities to support our vibrant music community.
