The truth behind this really is the additional costs -
- Parking and petrol costs are high!
- Owning a shop is so expensive with high rents and over heads
- You can shop while relaxing at home
- Market and craft fairs have increased their fees for traders
- The list goes on...
- I loved owning a shop and studio and selling in markets, but times have had to change. We need to make a profit and this isn't easy now.
- I miss facing my customers and getting to know them.
- We hope to one day return to original way of shopping.
- What are your views on online shopping.
