    Why don't businesses reply??

    This has definitely been an interesting read. I have to admit that recently we have had to prioritise requests for quotes ourselves; they just take so much time when our staff have been cut back. They do get returned eventually although we can be very very slow to get through them if its been a...

    Is this legal?

    Thanks to all, this has definitely been an interesting read. Dont get me wrong, Im not selling things at a ridiculous price, in most cases it'd be a lot less than 10% off RRP. Im a parent myself and baby equipment is expensive enough that of course I would shop where I was getting the best...

    Is this legal?

    Anybody have any interesting blogs ?

    I have to say I've been reading the links since I got on to this thread, somehow everyone elses blogs seem more interesting than mine. I've really only started to get into it. I'm naming products that we sell and naming places near me although the Blog is not searchable yet. Do you think a...

    Displays and merchandising advice appreciated

    Hi to all, I am a newbie on here although my other half has posted on here quite a bit and so I have read advice from everyone before. My question is really pretty simple, we have no real windows in our store suitable for displays (baby equipment shop) and stock is simply laid out. There is...
