Mon Dieu!

Slowly But Surely

Sales are beginning to move forward but slowly, as the peeps in Derby begin to know where we are. We are are also offering wine and chocolates to our prospective and current customers as the emphasis of our business has shifted from that of profits to one of customer experience. We have also introduced I Love Derby Bags which seem to have gone down well with our student customers. One person recently purchased a bag to take with him to Greece where he will be starting a new life. (Good luck) So not only are we striving for the ultimate shopping experience, but we are also promoting Derby as an upcoming city. (Watch in a few years time!) Remember you heard it here first!

WE also have a new tag line. Be Different! Because we are!
I think that sums us up.

Well Bonne Nuit, and we will speak soon.

Visit from the Local Paper

On the 2nd January, we received a visit from the Derby Evening Telegraph. They are currently running a 'Derby Bites Back' campaign. The aim of this campaign is to off set the effects of the credit crunch by supporting local businesses. this is done in conjunction with Business Link, Derby Council and other organisations who, have the interests of Derby's economy at heart.

We were interviewed by a journalist from the Telegraph, and a few pictures were taken. The article was published on 3rd January 2009 (see Warm welcome for couple who see Derby as a real Gem) The title makes reference to the immense support we have received from other traders and the public.

Since the article was published we have seen more customers through the door!

Finally Moved in

We have finally moved in to our new premises in Unit 3, Lock Up Yard, Cornmarket, Derby DE1 2DQ. Tel no 01332 209666. If you thought moving house was stressful, then try opening a shop before Xmas, after months of running around and relying on other people we finally managed to open on Sat 13th Dec. It was a hard slog with many a knock back, but we managed it. Phew!!!

We managed a number of sales which has covered our outgoings for December. (Bearing in mind it was Xmas) The real test is in the coming months (economic downturn) However, we intend to work hard at pushing this business, and will not rely on footfall. Mohammed and mountains spring to mind!

We will continue to contact prospective customers, and show them our range of products which, are very hard to find in the East Midlands.

More Blogs coming soon, but in the meantime, I am busy sorting out our Marketing Plan for 09.

Blesss!
