10000 Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Would love to check this out as its local to me but don't do Facebook - and am never likely to. Neither do I, or Twitter, Myspace or anything like that and I'm sure a lot in my age group and older are the same so they risk losing some customers.

Apologies for drifting away from the OP but I don't even think its a age thing - there is an assumption that "everybody does" Faceache, Twitter, Snapchat (whatever that is), Instagram blah blah..... I'm sorry but the whole social media thing just irritates me. Similarly I've had two days off work and naturally switched off my work mobile - I've just switched it on (God knows why) to find somebody in the office is castigating me for not being "accessible"..Really!! In fact I've not even had the telly on for 3 days - that's the next thing to go... Anyway, sorry Chris - good luck with the business. and I'll check out the market when I can, 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueeighties Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 (edited) Neither do I, or Twitter, Myspace or anything like that and I'm sure a lot in my age group and older are the same so they risk losing some customers. I would disagree. I sometimes get a bit weary of the constant bombardment of emails and social media messages, but life is all the better for it....it has enabled me to build a very successful business. Leigh Models won't 'lose' any customers, it's only those potential shoppers who choose not to use online media that will deny themselves the potential to browse And shop. And anyways, if you can go and visit them in person at the market what's the point of grumbling about It? No pleasing some folk!
