Diary of my first successful business
EXECUTIONI agree on everything you said here, EXCEPT that marketing is not going to bring me customers. There are two reasons for that: - OK the word of mouth is going to help big time and so customer experience should be perfect. So far this is under control and the people we have are actually referred...- Roland

EXECUTIONAt the end I managed to cancel the order for the last pieces of furniture, got my money back, ordered from somewhere else and after 20 minutes on the phone, I managed to get the delivery just before the weekend. The salon is now open. We have had a few bookings already and I am spending all my...- Roland

Diary of my first successful business
EXECUTIONA few more pictures after two weeks of work. I now have two rooms which I can open up in one if needed. Since yesterday, they are now ready to receive the furniture and I started building a third room at the back of the shop. Hopefully in two or three weeks I should be able to open it. And all...- Roland

Diary of my first successful business
EXECUTIONI did research on the location obviously. It is situated on the main road in town. Not too big but enough to have 3-4 people working without any problem. It has also a bus stop with 6 lines stopping just in front and is closed to the hospital (nurses are a good part of the customers) and a...- Roland

EXECUTIONBeleive me When I tell you I am not doing all that to be an average salon. If it doesn't work it will be because I missed something I didn't know about but everything I am doing I am 200% into it. The location we have is good and the project for the refurbishment as well. Now as I am travelling...- Roland

EXECUTIONThere is no clear exit plan at the moment or in other words there are different exits plans but it is far too early to know which one it will be. For the moment I go step by step and everythin is self funded because I haven't been in this country for long enough to ask for a loan or even a...- Roland

EXECUTIONSorry if that was confusing. The pay per lead model was at the beginning of the project. So I started creating the website but after a few months I realized that I wasn't able to take it off the ground. But in parallel, I was helping my wife (she is a beauty therapist) starting her own business...- Roland

EXECUTIONThank you all for your comments. I have already received the same sort of comments from several people I asked to have a look at the website so this is definitely something I will have a look at as soon as possible. This being said, I didn't get any booking from the website or any other support...- Roland

EXECUTIONAnd I am not sure if it is worth mentionning here but I am monetizing any skill I have. Anything that can make me a few extra quid for my project I do it.

EXECUTIONI started creating a flyer and walking accross my city during several days to distribute them. Conversion rate: less than 1%. This is what worked less for me. I also tried paid advertising on Facebook. This earned me a few likes but no customer. What worked best so far has been to advertise in...- Roland
