| Hi Barry and thanks for your kind words!
Ive been going full-hog for my business now and things are going from strength to strength. The mystical website has now been contracted out to a friend of mine which is great as it opens up my time to apply in other areas (ordering new stuf...yay) and i will get a much more polished end result which i feel is very important!
The shed- LOL..... its really more of an office but as i built it from wood i like to call it a shed! Its basically a flat packed oversized garden shed. However i fully insulated it, ply on the walls, laminated floor, electricity, phone and internet are all installed. Its warmer in here than it is in the house some days!
I didnt see that program, although i really would of liked to! Sounds very promising for me. I mean all you need to do is google "model shops bust" to realise that theres very few local model shops still trading now. Most store owners blame the internet for this, and quite frankly i think they are 110% correct. Its obvious that retail is dying and ecommerce is on the up. Thats what makes me so excited about my business is that for once, i think im getting on the band wagon, so to speak, at the right time!
My prime concern in this area though is still to keep the "local model shop" feeling. Thus to say every customer, be they big or small is treated with the same respect. If people want to ring up for a chat as well as to order, then thats fine by me!!!!!!
Ive replied to your PM too :-) |
