Seems we have a bit more positiveness around the forums these last couple of days woohooo!!!


Whenever theres a recession, or downturn...woteva you wanna call it that we find ourselves in...those that are positive see it as an opportunity.

For every courier calling it a day, for every courier company going to the wall, there is equally a courier or courier company who has seized the failings of others and not only kept their customer base but increased it...how?

Not by whingeing thats for sure...or waiting for the phone to ring.....no, those that survive get out there and tout, spend more on marketing, and keep busy selling themselves....so for all you guys out there feelin dispondent...thinkin its all doom and gloom...well it isn't....you just gotta go find it.

These dips in the economy just get rid of the dead wood...just as long as you're not one of em!!

I've been out doing flyer drops at weekends around the industrial estates and business parks for the last few weeks. I've been updating my Yell.com listing this morning and I've been using social networking to purvey my services to some of the local businesses that I'm linked to. I'm currently in the middle of a big strip down, rebuild and possible renaming of my website as well. In addition to that, I will be getting a new van in 6-8 weeks, to help improve my company image. This will co-en-side with a new branded uniform and other stuff.


I've been doing subbie work since I started, but I can't rely on that forever and I need to build my own customer base, so all my efforts are pointed towards doing just that. I don't like borrowing money as I don't like owing people, but like they say, "you have to speculate to accumulate". I don't want to go back to working in factories and warehouses and having bosses looking over my shoulder every minute of the working day (I've had that since I was 16 up until last year), so I'm sticking at it.
