Long time no blog!

Hi All
Wow I had not realised it has been so long since our last blog. So much has happened firstly, we got back in one piece from Autumn Fair. Secondly it is winter now wet, dark and not as cold as last year. Thirdly Christmas and New Year holidays have come and gone, hope you had a good one. 

This time last week we were at Giving and Living at Westpoint, Exeter. It is a smaller show but attracts retailers from all over the South West a lot of whom don't make it to Spring Fair and Autumn Fair. It has a nice atmosphere amongst the exhibitors and the visitors. The catering is quite good too with everything being sourced locally.

We are now in touch with a company who can repair broken retail equipment. We found them when a repair quote from one of our suppliers for some ring scanners came pretty near to the retail price for new ones. This company's quote was a third of the price and everything was repaired and returned within a week. Obviously this service is for out of warrenty items. Items under warranty will be repaired through our suppliers as usual. These days when margins are being squeezed so much it may well be cost effective to repair scanners etc. which were previously thrown out.

I hope that you are still on track with your new year's resolutions. Mine was to look after my hands, which is really an excuse to buy some really nice handcream (I chose Burt's Bees). If you are trying to give up smoking, lose weight or are in training to run a marathon then I wish you well.

Until next time,

EPoS Girl.
