There is something drastically wrong if you are only selling a few spray cars!
I know from experience that some locations are a complete waste of time and feels like flogging a dead horse. Doesn't matter what you do, they never take off. A few years back we had four shops within 5 miles of each other. Two of them were dead ducks and the other two were gold mines. There wasn't a lot of logic in it. Just that people tend to shop in one place in preference to another. Everyone has a different reason. How do you work out why people aren't shopping in your neck of the woods?

Hi we also sell arts and crafts and model kits (airfix type) we split the shop down the centre linking the two halves together using the arts and crafts on an isle down the middle which actually works quite well. We have started to get to know the other shop owners on the parade and they all say they a down a lot on this years takings. We have potential customers coming in and say they only live around the back and didnt know we were there. (So much for all my leg work on the flyers dont people read them ?).Then they say there just popping in to have a browse or its somewhere to shelter from the rain while they wait for their dinner from next door. great
