Mindless Ramberlings
Been a busy last few weeks and we’ve not really kept on top of this blog so what’s been occupying us?
The redesign: The bain of my life this redesign has been going on for years. We need a new colour scheme and the homepage layout that’s all but couldn’t decide on colours and layout forget it, but then finally our old friend Frame jumps in and everybody loves the colours, ideas and design but we start putting it together and it’s not quite right so it’s back to the drawing board but we have a colour scheme and a load of ideas. So plan b and it works nice but the design is in 2 parts the Frame bit and our bit everybody loves our bit and we finally make the decision to go and extent our design trying to incorporate all the best bits of the Frame design. So it almost done the navbar looks wicked and we did pop it up for 5 ins this morning but as with all things it’s not that simple so we took it down again.
Royal Mail: They have just gone through the biggest change in the post system in years and although they had loads of publicity about it our local office had no idea how they would implement it or how it would work. On the change over day things were a bit slow but they soon got in to it and you know it works out cheaper for us so all you UK heads will continue to get FREE shipping for the foreseeable future, we know we are giving free shipping worldwide but this will stop once we have the new code in place and this will allow UK shoppers to have the option of express delivery, not that you need it with our turn around times.
Quick word about Royal Mail as they do get a slagging off, we’ve used they since 1999 due to the fact that they have a monopoly and with the majority of our orders being under1KG it’s the cheapest and fastest way to do it, if you know different tell us. Back to the point they are pretty good they don’t lose that many but when they are bad boy do they excel.
Interesting facts cant remember if it was 500 times per day or per week but this is the number we as consumers are advertised to, got this bit right though we are advertised to more in one year than our parents were in the lifetime. Not quite sure how that works as my parents are still alive and been advertised to?
