| 595921 | 2007-09-29 09:58:00 | How do you market? What was your website again? Say, I have heard all about the rage with that Halo thing and all. You do gaming stuff? Word of mouth - esp from the locals here. Its on the main Rd. Local paper for the 1st 3 months. (At a hideous price) Websites in my profile. Gaming 'stuff"? Hardware - Yes. Games themselves - no. Today - the day off, I finished off 2 PCs I had here at home (from locals) to do and then went to see a friend with a sick lamb. Got back and there were another 3 computers here. :eek: |

Keep up the quality . . that's a key note part of any business, and don't be afraid (as I know you aren't) of doing a little something extra for the customers . You have a responsibility now of being in business tomorrow . . . you have to make good on warranties and guarantee your work and it means naught if you aren't in business next week or next year . Longevity is the sure sign of success . . . and people recognize a fly-by-night as they also know a long standing business or the signs that one will be around for a long time . That builds customer base and confidence . If I were in the neighborhood, I'd be one of your customers . |

Sheep, yes . . . . . . the lamb died too . Lets say I went out of business with the premises . I'd still do it from home . Even if for some reason I couldn't, warranty is still honoured . Don't see why it can't be . I don't have credit accounts with my suppliers . . . . . . . |

They tend to take their PCs to a shop for that reason. So....... |
