Upon My Return

When I get back from Spain I’ll have a week to complete my “to do” list and relax further. Here’s whats on it so far…

to do

Girlfriend’s 21st Birthday Party - This is definately the first thing! We return in the early hours of the morning on the 30th and Christy’s birthday is on the 1st. After a few minor drama’s trying to sort a plan out, I’ve managed to get something together and fingers crossed it’ll go according to plan.

Launch Bar Vacancy - I’m still waiting for the coder to fix two minor issues then the site is ready to launch! I’m really excited, with just a few postings the site is already getting enquiries from potential employees. Again, fingers crossed that’ll go to plan too! I have a number of e-mail lists ready to be used for bars and nightclubs across the UK. I also intend to run a few AdWords campaigns, seek partnerships from agencies and sponsorship from drinks wholesalers.

Start Edinburgh Ironing - My best friend Stephen and I launched Edinburgh Clean not so long ago. After distributing 100 A4 flyers we managed to get a couple of clients. Through a family friend we’re also getting a free advert in a directory publication. Hoepfully the business will expand and we want to diversify into other areas. My father recently purchased a larger property and his partner has taken some time off work. With the staff and space we seize the moment.

We decided to this after a a few friends expressed the opinion that they may feel slightly uncomfortable having a cleaner enter their property but wouldn’t mind giving someone their ironing to do.

I think we’re going to order about 5000 flyers and test the water, perhaps hiring some equipment to begin with rather than. This seems more sensible as it is going to cost a lot more for the commercial ironing products than it was for the cleaning supplies.

Watch this space!

Good luck with your persuits,

Khalid.
