To Show or not to Show
I am being bombarded by requests to attend Garden Shows both regionally and nationally – catalogues, phones calls, book early get extra table space etc etc. At the moment I have said no to all but in the back of my mind there is still a little uncertainty?? Being an online retailer and having two specialist websites www.gardendivas.co.uk and www.thehorsediva.co.uk should I be getting myself “out there” in front of Joe Public??
The etiquette of email??
When you are in business, and an internet retailer at that, obviously email is a fantastic way to keep in touch with your customers – don’t overdo it tho as no-one likes to be bombarded. However I get irritated by those I have contacted ( not any of my lovely customers I hasten to add) who, having already done business with them, have failed to reply to my correspondence via email or returned telephone calls.
New Year, New Start. Beat the Recession!
Unless you’ve been in a coma for the past year or two, you’ll have realised we’re in an economic downturn. Whether or not it’s over now depends on who you listen to, but there’s no denying times are still hard, and it’s all being hyped up beyond all sanity by the Daily Mail and the BBC.
