Hi,
thanks for the e-mail!
I couldn't see any attachments, but the website is quite high ranked with Google, I think, so that's ok I guess.
I was at a programme with Sencia, some time back, and they started talking about founds for marketing, but the web-shop wasn't that good then, so I didn't want to market it already, at the beginning of last year.
So I think that was why I asked Ingeus about self-employed-programme, to check if there was similar founding-opertunities, for marketing, as Sencia mentioned.
Also I was wondering if I should be on a programme for self-employed people, with the Job-centre.
Since I've been working with this web-shop since the automn of 2010, I think it was, that is before I started to go to Ingeus, on the Work Programme.
So that might have been the reason for me being sent to Elect, because I asked Ingeus about the things mentioned above.
But I'll be there for the meeting, the week after next.
When it comes to the expenses, then the reason it isn't a profit for the web-shops, is that some of the costs are fixed, some are to do with samples for pictures, which I'd say is marketing, and some costs are like start-up-costs, since I've had to move between Liverpool and Sunderland, a couple of times, in the last months, due to Landlord-complaint-cases, etc.
But before the next meeting, I thought I could set up book-keeping, for each delivery, so to show the profit-margin better.
Just something I thought about after the meeting today.
Hope this is alright!
Best regards,
Erik Ribsskog
