Up and running

Happy New Year everyone. Its been a hectic few weeks so the blog hasn't been updated recently at all.

However, the shop is up and running now and most of the initial teething problems have been dealt with so there's a little bit more time for this.

We had a successful opening party on Sunday 13th December with about twenty people along to see the shop and mgo on a ghost tour through the haunted cellar (if you haven't seen the cellars yet then you're missing out!!). We opened on the MOnday and had our first sale on Thursday from a gent who worked locally and had seen the shop on his way to work. Up to Christmas it was pretty quiet though as our marketing hasn't really started yet, so we are relying on people seeing the shop or hearing about it through word of mouth, which is going to be quite limited at this stage.

We opened again today after New Year and sold a pair of our most expensive shoes (Titanium Bugaboot XTM Omni-Tech) to a chap who was going boar hunting in Lithuania and needed something warm for his feet whilst he stood in the cold. The Titanium is waterproof and insulated down to -54 celsius, so it should ndo him just fine.

We're working our our first flyers just now to support our marketing campaign. If you can think of anywhere we should be marketing or know of any opportunities (e.g. if you work for a big company and their intranet has an offers/discounts section etc) then please let us know. The more people know about us the better.
