Mobile supplies shop
« on: January 25, 2011, 10:16:14 pm »
I have been thinking of setting up a mobile shop supplying trad gear and wfp spares!

A bit like the snap-on tools vans do,

But have it as a small workshop as well

Now I would have to plan a route depending where the window cleaners lived/worked

Now I know a lot of people order online, but can this work I know a lot of thought would have to go into this, but would there be a need for this service?

Anybody have any input into this as to why they think this would/not work!

Why would you sharpen your phone?

Easier, cheaper, quicker to get on the laptop these days. I have never been to a window cleaning shop, always brought online.

Have you thought of charging people money to have their windows cleaned?

i think its a stupid idea meself!anyone with any common sense will have a stock of spares for their business and will just simply order online if they need anything.most suppliers are usually pretty good at delivery times as well!!

price higher/work harder!

Good thought.
but you would never be able to compete with the net, although i do think there is a market for a mobile unit for servicing wfp systems, but i think the deisel would kill you.
