Another update on the way forward

My thoughts are that we aren’t going to make enough from the shop to justify the location in the current economic climate. Much could change if we involve other businesses or if as many predict HMV/FOPP fold sooner rather than later but these are not things to be relied on. I’m mainly looking at other reliable income streams and expanding merchandise beyond the shop as well as looking at sponsorship both for the shop and some of our ideas.

If we can successfully add enough income without generating more work than it is worth then we will of course keep the shop on. As I said we will always look to support Scottish music and labels but that focus may need to change maybe again leaning more towards merchandise. I’m amazed that some people thought it was all a publicity stunt. I posted the blog at 11.30pm on Thursday thinking it would filter out over the weekend. I arrived the next day to find half of Scotland’s media at my door. If I had known that believe me I would at least  have had a shave !
