Well, the Facebook store is coming along and should be ready really soon.
I'm excited about it.


Not because i expect to generate loads of sales but because it's something new and interesting.


I've been looking at new suppliers for the site too, something a bit different, a bit more exclusive maybe.


By the way, have a look at this desking. It's spectacular. Very very nice. I really like this range. 


Some of the furniture can be delivered flatpacked while some of the bigger higher priced items need to be hand delivered and assembled. We have some partners in mind to support us with this so we will be able to offer a full package.




Generally office desks, when bought online, are flat packed so need to be assembled by the you.


This is great if you have the time and resources in place to build the furniture.


These days, most of us are busy doing our own jobs and don't have time to put aside several hours out of our busy working day to build office furniture.


To combat this we offer several range of office furniture on our site that are delivered and built for you, saving you time and hassle.




Time will tell if this is going to be the future for us or not. For me it seems like a great service. Anything that makes it easier for the customer must be a good thing.




We offer a broad range of 'delivered and built by us' furniture from an entry level workstation range to several executive ranges and some exclusive models in there too. www.theofficechairshop.co.uk and click on the desks/tables tab on the navigation bar.

Here are some more images of the exclusive range of furniture i mentioned earlier in the blog.


Speak soon.......

I was sat watching some boring TV last night when i nearly jump into the TV! 
It caught me by surprise and if i'm honest it's a little sad of me but i was so pleased to see one of our chairs on TV.

It was on the UK's best loved and most popular soap Eastenders and was chosen for Janine to sit in as she controls her new business empire.


The chair is the windsor cream leather chair and i guess must have been chosen thanks to it's commanding, inspiring styling. It's a very comfortable chair and a bit bigger than a standard leather office chair, with wing style arms and contrasting piping.

I'm sure my wife thinks i'm sad but i was actually excited for a moment when i saw it. 


Well, better get some more work done but i thought i'd just share this with you!


Cheers

So, here we go. My first blog.


Social media has become such a huge part of the on line revolution that we have to jump aboard.
I guess i'd better introduce myself. I am Mark Turner and i run the show day to day here at theofficechairshop.co.uk.


For me this provides a great opportunity to get closer to our friends. By friends i guess i mean customers and potential customers.
I have had many discussions about how we close the gap, bring our friends in closer, let them get to know us and feel secure using us. This could be the answer.


As a customer you are faced with a dazzling choice of potential on line stores. They could be run by a huge team in a flash office or a con man in his bedroom, how do you know?????


Honestly i don't know but if you're like me, sceptical, you'll do your homework. Google them, see what comes up. Call them maybe? How do they treat you on the phone? Do they sound bothered?
Anyone can build a website these days. My 11 year old son has dabbled at building one primary school.


So, once you've researched the company and feel safe, what next?
How do you make the purchasing decision? All you have is a picture and a basic description that seems to suggest the item it the best thing ever made.
That's another tricky one but i always read product descriptions with a cynical attitude. 

I am fully aware the seller is trying to sell so isn't going to tell me about the bad points. You have to work them out for yourself.
Read between the lines, assume the worse and don't buy if you're not sure.
I always encourage people to call us and we will gladly talk about any of the office chair, office desks or anything else we sell. If we're not sure we can find out. It's not hard but customer service will be a discussion for another time!!


We have some ideas for site development that go along the lines of 360 degree video clips of the office chairs, close ups, features etc. These all take time and cost money but i think they close the gap and help you see more about the chairs and office furniture we offer. 
You still can't actually touch the fabric on an operator chair or feel the leather on a leather executive chair but you will be able to get a much better idea of how the chair works, what the levers do and that kind of thing.


So that's it for now. I'll add some features etc as we go on. See how it goes. Feel free to add any comments or questions. You can contact me through our main site on the link above.








Cheers
Mark
