So you want to be a mail order entrepreneur?
Mail order makes shopping easier –for the customer that is. It is possible to buy flowers, furniture, books, chocolates and many other products by post. The company sends customers a catalogue, and they can choose products without leaving their home. Johnny Boden is the chairman of the mail order clothing company Boden. He says that mail order companies ‘process the customer’s order, get the item from the warehouse, check the colour, size, etc., deliver it to their homes and arrange returns if necessary. In shops the customer does all these things.
Is it easy to be a mail order entrepreneur? The disadvantage is that the start-up costs are high. You need stock to sell and computers to process orders. You also need a lot of employees. However, mail order does have advantages. A mail order company can operate from almost any place. Charlie and Caroline Gladstone moved from London to Scotland and started Pedlars clothing company. Mr and Mrs Gladstone wanted to work from home. They wanted a better quality of life and to operate from a low-cost location. Mr Gladstone and Mr Boden visited the US separately. The saw that mail order was a popular business with good customer service. Mr Gladstone believes that customer loyalty is important. A successful mail order company provides a personal experience, like a good shop.
