Shop Closing

The Shop Is Closing

Its official I just got the word the shop will be closing next Sunday. That gives me one week to find another place of employment. Oh well I rode it out till the fat lady sang that's for sure. I had a feeling that it would happen like that. All I can do is move on no hard feelings or any thing like that. It's not like I didn't see it coming. It was good while it lasted when it was good. Aint that crazy. What I mean is that mostly it has been a slow b in here some times it could be good. Sometimes it's nothing. Like fore instance I'm here now on a Friday writing this and there are no customers. Just me and my lap top. I can at least use the time that I have productively. In my opinion there are some changes that could be made to attract more customers. The first thing to do is to scrap the ghetto painted name off the glass. After that change the color on the walls grey is not a color that's good for business. Colors play a part in peoples mind on a subconscious level. In order to be successful in business a business person has to study all aspects of running a business, down to the paint on the walls. The psychology of this can't be taken lightly or overlooked. After painting the walls a color that is more likely to make people feel happy and up rather than depressed; such as (research colors) the next thing to do is put bright florescent lights bright enough to see well. This is important for a beauty and or salon. By the book a shop should be well lit and comfortable. Next but not last is to get better chairs that actually go up and down. Getting chairs that lean back for shaves and facials would not be a bad idea. Next get real shop stations with real mirrors. Then there's the heater. I would definitely get that fixed. The last thing on the list would be to get cable or satellite and a better television. Then the phone number needs to be changed to stop the telemarketers from calling all day. That about sums up the changes that I think would make the shop prosper and why it is not. Beyond the physical changes that would improve the flow of business there is advertisement that needs to be done. With these changes the shop should be successful with the right team of people in it.

Anyway I find my self once again in the unknown zone it's all good every thing happens for a reason and I am sure something positive will come from this.
