it's been quite a tough few weeks but we've finally got all our stock and this morning, our webstore has gone live - http://www.funkyrascal.co.uk/.
even up until tuesday this week, it was a daily rollercoaster of emotion as we received first good, then bad news about our online merchant account and payment gateway. despite allowing plenty of time for the relevant security details to be checked and whatever else it is they do, it still came down to a narrow squeak as to whether we would be able to launch the site today.
however, it all worked out in the end and we even received our major everyday clothing line, maxomorra, yesterday lunchtime. which didn't really help to be honest! something like 2500 items of clothing needing sorted, counted, cross-checked, scanned, inventoried and hung in the shop when all we want to do is get the webstore up. however, since it's critical to the site, it's a good thing it did arrive.
so we're a multi-channel business now. better go and read some more of my new bible, "eMarketing eXcellence", and get on with the next phase...
