kobblers Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 i'm beginning to think you have a fetish for 'em jim seriously though i'm not keen on them as they prevent the customer coming back to have their heels repaired properly. rick.

jimlondon Posted November 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 Lol - if making money out of good marketing and promotion works then yes I have a fetish for making money. Just seems to work among my customers - maybe it's something local and, I find it's precisely WHY customers return to have a proper job done in the long term and they'll tell family and mates! It's not about whether we ourselves like them or not but if it suits the customer and encourages return business in the longer term then it sure works for me. Can't say I'm exactly feeling the credit crunch as return business just keeps coming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
