The Team

The Team –

karlgareth

Knowing this year was going to be extremely busy, I had to find some new fantastic member s to add to my small team I already had, Karl has been with me for over 5 years and works in IT producing my ever growing demand of websites, he has proved to be very reliable over the years apart from his tiring excuses of getting caught in traffic every morning!! We then have Gareth who works alongside Karl in producing websites, and is literally a genius and doesn’t he know it!! If anyone in the office ever needs to know something we always go to Gareth as it’s like referring to a encyclopaedia which comes in great use in our office due to the versatility of what we deal with.

Not as clever as me mind!
Sam Colclough my new Business Development Manager / PA who has been with me now for just over a month I felt from the initial interview she was going to be an outstanding asset to me and the business and assists me 100% to get where I am aiming for.

To date she has never turned down a job task and has always been willing to put more in than what is expected always working late and staying behind whilst Karl clearly turns into a pumpkin at 6pm Sarah gets picked up at 6pm by her chariot and Gareth bless him, he does stay behind!
We welcome Sarah as Marketing assistant to Self Temptation she started a few weeks ago and has come from a fashion designer background and has appreciation of all aspects of the fashion industry and is a hard little worker, she has come in and got her teeth stuck into self temptation making sure we hit the market with a bang writing all press releases and keeping all our social networks up to date for you guys all to read! She has settled in nicely, and will be working on many different projects as well as Self temptation in the future.

This is a extremely busy year for me and my team already, with so many projects, such as the development and building of e-commerce sites, I am pleased to bring www.SelfTempation.com to you, this is one of my newest ventures.

Self temptation will be the first UK online retailers of Baci Lingerie we offer unique, sexy, affordable, luxury apparel. We will be launching on my Birthday 7th March 2011, only a few days ago we announced the launch of a fantastic competition whereby if you register your details you have a chance of winning one of 3 £50.00 vouchers so far we have had over 400 competition enterers which is fantastic considering the site hasn’t even launched.

Update on Self Mart

As promised a recap on the progress of Self Mart, since revamping and working with drop shippers, in a period of less than 12 months we have had a revenue stream of over £100,000 with a minimum mark up of 50%
So it seems a non brainer if we could maximise this and take a revenue potential of £700,000 a year. As I mentioned in one of my earlier posts I think we will now start to build sites like these as business opportunities to sell so people have the ability to work from home reducing over heads as no more office costs and good profits to be made.

New Website Self Mart

I am now looking forward to next year as I plan to move out of my warehouse, and decrease on my team keeping my main players.

When I started working in the New Year, I continued the expansion on my I.T business due to the fact that we were very pleased with Self Mart and in such a short period, due to the revamp and ranking of it I made my mind up then that we didn’t need a massive warehouse to run self mart as it was producing a good flow of sales and the space we had was being wasted. The beauty of this was I was able to keep a much smaller line in storage as most of suppliers and drop shippers could have the products sent directly to my customers.

If the Drop shipping sites continue this way early 2011 I will hopefully be putting it out to the masses as this is a huge business opportunity for myself and the team, other people can then enjoy the simplicity of running websites from home and we can either supply drop shipper or we will do it ourselves.

Me and Simon having a serious chat about business and giving him a few tips!!

Business Today

Since my last posting business has picked up, to the extent that we are now chocker! It’s amazing what two or three weeks can do.
I have got loads of new lines in for the store through clearance and the dreaded wholesalers!!
I am now at the level that I can work at, and work at to make bigger! It’s like building a house; you can only build as long as you have bricks.
Unfortunately my plans for having three stores open by Christmas have been delayed, however I know aim to have another store open in the New Year with more to follow hot on its heels!
At the moment the right choice of shop is not around, and it’s not only important to have the right footfall but also in the right area, it is all about location location!

Areas where there are shoppers with a disposable income is where I need to be, and somehow i don’t think where we are with the first shop is that.

I am going to try a few more shops in other locations before I decide to give up on the retailing, I have spoken to friends of mine in the business, and they have said that it took them two or three goes before they got it right!

I guess that these large multiples have stores that are making losses and others that are making huge profits, and they balance each other out, I am not quite at that stage, just yet!

Another expansion on our retail side is I have decided to open up the lower floor of one of our warehouses, as an outlet, especially with the run up to Christmas. Again my retailer friends have advised me that those customers coming out specifically to see you will be spending. Let’s see how this goes, I will keep you informed!

Generally all is well, I will write again soon with something a bit more exciting, hopefully that is not too far away!
