Well, after placing the order for the diorama competition on Tuesday it seems I've hit on a little sales niche for the kiddies at our club.
Fact of the matter is, they love Heresy, hasslefree and Spyglass stuff, but their parents (perhaps sensibly) won't let them order online.
So what I've ended up doing now is saying 'If you want stuff ordering, you give me the cash, I put it into my bank account and order for you, then you'll get your stuff the next week'
I'm currently not charging them shipping as I figure the more trade it brings in for the FoD3 the better.
This week has been a Heresy order (and Spyglass [3 of each]), next week it's a hasslefree, and I suspect it's a big one...well, big for our little club of about 12 people.
I don't know how long it will last, but the kiddies keep visiting the company sites, seeing models they like and saying 'I want one of those too'
One of them was quite shocked I wasn't making anything from the scheme...he said 'I'd charge, like, a pound for each person ordering'
Not particularly honest...but that's the youth of today. I like the companies from this forum and I want to see them get trade. I figure they give us good service, a forum to chat on and a suitable array of freebies that I get enough without having to rip the club people off...besides, if I charged, less people would order.
