Shoes Galore

"I purchased a shoe franchise and the past 12 months have been very successful! In March 2007 I came to the Franchise Exhibition in Olympia and decided to purchase the Shoes Galore franchise for the Hitchin & Luton area. I became one of their first pilot schemes for Shoes Galore and over the past 12 months I have enjoyed selling shoes, bags and belts by party plan. As a business idea Shoes Galore is fantastic as women love shoes, and putting that together with working around children its one step off perfect! I have found that the shoe party bookings are not hard to come by as long as you ask. Once past that hurdle you are running your own business and feeling like the boss was for me was a new and exciting challenge. I generally do around 2 evening parties a week and now the parties are coming from referrals and word of mouth and yes from the gates at the school playground. I don’t have problems getting parties and selling shoes and my best party so far I did sales of £683, which meant that I earned £340 in just 3 hours. Wow! I would recommend anyone looking to set up a family flexible business to contact Shoes Galore!"
