Our survey says..... ting!

I never knew that writing a business plan could be so all-consuming, but it's really helping me figure out how I want to run the business and how I will develop it in the future, not to mention help Mr Bank Manager to help me out in the cash department!

As part of my research I have just distributed 100 surveys to gauge peoples opinion on my ideas for the shop, the stock, the name, location etc. If you have received one, please email back to me asap - your feedback is much appreciated!

All good fun.

The search is on for a new premises....


What a total nightmare! It seems that finding a premises is harder than I first thought... I'm very specific about my requirements and there's really not that much around Andover to choose from that falls within my small budget!

Ideally I would love a an office in a beautiful converted barn with views of the rolling Hampshire Countryside but I need enough space for dress storage - so if anyone know of anything that fits the bill - please advise!

That's all for now,
Lulu

Welcome!

Hi everyone.

I am in the process of buying a dress agency called 'Smart Exchange' based in Andover, Hampshire.

I thought it would be useful to blog all our news and developments of our new business venture.

The main part of the business will be selling dresses online, but we also plan to offer a hire service for evening dress, ball gowns and prom wear etc.

Your feedback and comments are always welcome.

Thanks for stopping by!
