    Courier/Shipping Advice - Collecting From & Returning To Customers

    Hi folks, I run a cleaning business and would like customers to be able to ship their high-ish value (£100-£2000) items to me, and then we'll ship them back after cleaning.

    B&M vs Online Pricing

    Thanks a lot everyone - great points and lots of thinking to be done. Guess there's scope for us to run 2 shops online - one to mirror the B&M shop, and one with a different name and cut-price instruments?!

    Single Store Electronic Point of Sale Software

    Hi all, I've just bought a shop with no point of sale software - just operates an old cash register and a chip & pin machine. I want to introduce POS software to deal with sales, stock, discounts, etc - as 'complete' a package as possible/necessary for a small, low volume specialist shop. It...

    B&M vs Online Pricing

    Hi folks, There is some overlap with my recent post in ecommerce forum, but I wanted a focused B&M retailers strategic response, rather than seo/technical - please ignore/delete thread if this doubles up on other responses: I have just bought a B&M musical instrument shop selling a wide range...

    Running eCommerce with Bricks n Mortar Shop

    Thanks a lot, all. Points taken. The question is more strategic than seo related, and relates to maximising sales in B&M and online. We know we can achieve a high price in-store on a lot of items due to catchment area, the preference of many customers to touch and trial products and generally...

    Hi there, Is anyone else using UKHost4U.com for hosting? My websites and seemingly theirs have disappeared tonight, no email response from their Support (normally pretty quick), and their phone number isn't connecting to anything (guessing they'd be using VOIP, if that makes a difference) -...

    Using two URL's for business site

    Interesting idea - thanks for the reply. I'm a bit limited in terms of the volume of content I can provide on the ***services.com site - wouldn't like to attempt to put together a site with "padding" for fear of Google's wrath - or am I paranoid?
