    Souk... had a quick nosey on your site.... first impressions are favourable but the obvious anomolies.....

    1 -You're too cheap to take seriously! You need to up your prices or make it clear that this is an introductory offer.

    2- You'd need to include a half hour or even an hour "consultation" prior to any shopping taking place because an hour in shops without a clue what your client wants would be wasted.

    3 - Theres no mention of travelling to other places or a specific "Glasgow only" option. You could well find you're booked by a Londoner because you're too vague on location.

    4- What about the housebound. They have functions to attend but would be unable to shop for them in a store. Could you cater to them too?

    Thanks Moo. Will need to tweak i know. Claire not got time to do pics today as I'm travelling later but will take you up on that when I'm free. Moo would obviously consult before we go but yep need to add that. Don't know how I would go with buying for people as then I'd need to pay upfront and don't use cards etc? All things to think on yep. X

    Claire just to Head Office for work! Moo, interesting about being too cheap. Find it hard to price myself! Don't want to be seen as some high end bird who'll be dragging ladies round D and G but have worked in this sector for a good 17 years so i guess you're right!!!

    Just been told by my Single Parent Advisor that I am permitted a £250 Job Grant to sort out clothing etc that you need for work.

    How far do you think you can make £250 in creating a perfect capsule wardrobe for a speaker? The good news is that its refundable on receipts - so charity shops and fabric purchases also count :j:j

    It all coming together :T
