It is a funny if slightly strange thing that we received a good order for our classic
brass coat hooks from America. Normally you can find what you want on the internet in America. About ten years ago we handled many American orders which gradually dropped off
as the web became more competitive and niche suppliers of just about everything popped up
over there. I recollect sending some classic brass coat hooks off to a customer in the mid west who couldn't find the classic hook anywhere in his city. Well behold ten years or so later, another customer has had the same problem and had to come directly to us in
Scotland to satisfy their need for the style and elegance of the classic brass hook. I am not complaining, but perhaps the internet has not filled all the needs of customers everywhere with everything they can dream of! Moral of the story is there are still opportunities for the entrepreneur out there. I would say the biggest drawback one is confronted by is the colossal level of government deficits and the need for balance which means tax rises, economic slowdown and so forth. Invest in a big inventory, and you could be stuck with a big headache!
