grahamparker Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 Hardly any repairs,although the last few months we have done more,keys and padlock sales dominate our business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auto Key Wizard Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 I've just placed a simple advert in the local paper (first time in years) to solely promote shoe repairs, In the last two weeks this has created an extra 40% on repair work turnover.

Fast Fix Elgin Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 No keys, no engraving etc. We do shoe repairs and sell shoes. Of course retail for shoes to, but thats it.And yes, we are busy. 6 fulltime shoe repairers, 2 extra workers that take turn every second saturday. We decided to stay on shoe related services only. Must be 10 years without keys, and i dont regret it WOW... We are at about 40% of gross on shoe repairs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
