I created a space on the high street that champions and supports 35 Frome makers and suppliers. Now it's time to move lock, stock and barrel to online only. It's the obvious and positive choice for all our futures.
2020 is the year to free up time, push for growth and showcase my suppliers in a more focussed manner. SO, whilst I am busy behind the scenes, I'm offering my shop space as an exclusive platform for a few of my makers to showcase their brand under the Fromie Gifts banner. Starting in April and running til July I will be showcasing a single supplier in the shop each month...Fresh thinking is key to survival!
A wise man, Martin Newman once told me 'Retail is for life, not just for Christmas'.
Being a shopkeeper is not as simple as just sitting in a shop, but just as challenging and important as being the CEO of a nationwide operation - I should know, I've been there!
