I’ve just finished reading a great article about “How to Do Retail Right from the Inventor of the Apple Store“… and they would know! Whilst it talks about it from a Start-Up perspective, there’s too much gold here for current retailers to disregard.
“The most important thing startups need to understand is that there’s a big difference between making a sale and creating an experience. Beyond pop-up shops and marketing gimmicks, there’s a profound advantage to creating a lasting commercial space where people want to spend their time — not just their money.”
As a retailer, can you honestly say that you are creating a space where people want to hang out?
I suspect most of you are probably saying no…
One of the current deals I’m working on has a wholesaler who has built an exceptional experiential space for their bigger brand client, to conduct both show and tell and outright schmoozing, which is proving to be very popular amongst their client and their clients. What they’ve know come to realise is that by having it on a main street, individual consumers are also popping in, in the hope of rectifying whatever it is they need. Right now, they are being turned away, redirected… but this will not continue. The next iteration will be a place to liaise with people from all walks of life… and dollar value.
As it should be…

Did some website renovation work today, including adding a few plugins in and changing some wording… even found an eBook to add to sell, which appears to be right on the money for what I’m looking for. Phew! Thought I’d end up having to writing it myself. Will get that added and see what happens. It’s all test and measure, lets face it!
Spoke to website owners again this week. They want to sell but when I give them an indicative price range, they don’t like what they hear especially if what they want is what they’ve spent on the website. And that’s because their online business is not profitable. And therefore not worth what they think it should be. And they get frustrated that I can’t see the “potential” in what they’ve built.
Bottomline is… whether I can see the potential or not, doesn’t matter! A buyer will not to pay for it if you haven’t been able to make it work yourself.
So get cracking…

Quite a number of Business Buyers starting to make themselves known. In addition to a few more “Baby Boomers” looking to retire. The next few months will be most interesting… look forward to it!

Not much happening on the Business Sale front, as most businesses comes to terms with the end of financial year. Suspect though that the phone will start ringing again soon, as the realisation of the 2013-14 numbers comes to bear.
There’s been an upsurge in Sellability Score questionnaire completion, perhaps an indicator of what’s to come…
Especially given that more and more Buyers are making themselves known…

Spent 3 days learning further about all things Buy and Sell Websites and wasn’t it worth it! Sometimes you just have to DO to work it out and DOing I am!
There are so many things happening in the Buy and Sell Website space, it’s hard not to try and play in them all at once. So I spent the 4th day locked away, plotting and scheming in terms of how my revived learning impacts on my daily activities from now on. A most rewarding exercise it was too.
So what does that mean?
I am definitely keen to talk to anyone who has a website to sell, or thinks they might like to sell in the not too distant future, because the range of options I now have to assist them are deep and doable. Come and talk to me…

It’s all systems go! Advertisement is ready to fire. This is a cracker for a white-collar wanting to get out of the office or a trade wanting to get off the tools. Given how close to end-of-financial-year it is, we’re going to wait a few weeks, get the 2014 numbers done and then go to market.

Assisting colleague by introducing the perfect buyer for his selling client. However, due to their own growth plans, this has been placed on the back burner. Vendor has given all-clear to 3 private parties who have indicated interest, with another 2 more in the wings. IMs have been sent.
Health Care Provider
Assisting colleague by introducing the Home Help interested party to their client, now that the authority has been signed. As it turns out, the offer out of nowhere was being used as their first step in the process. One prospective party is keen to meet, which has now been organised.
