A busy summer

It has indeed been a busy summer. A lot of effort has gone into publicising the product by attanding County Shows and Gardening Shows and rather than take a holiday my wife and I have been taking weekends at fairs around the country. Each one has been good for sales, but more importantly it has put the idea into thousands of heads that otherwise would not have seen it. So often a person will remark how annoying it is to get back from work to find the laundry sodden by unecpacted rainfall; if someone has seen the Dryline they can say "I saw a cover for the laundry at as Show; it was called the rota- something." All that needs to happen then is for the person to go to Google or another search engine and find me.
Apart from that I have expanded the range of accessories a little, getting a part manufactured to increase the working height of the airer and so on. Problems due to an early batch of faulty material still return, causing replacements to be sent out at considerable expense and time. However, sales are definitely on an upward track, and the poor weather this summer has been a benefit to the project. However, September has been dry all month, and it is surprising how much this affects sales. I have recently designed an adaptor that could halve the product range, which would be a great help in selling. I am exxcited about this possibility. The website and price list have been overhauled as well, and the results, although it has been slow and time consuming, will set the Dryline on a better footing for the future.
I sometimes feel that my life has been taken over and that I don't get out enough, but after all, life is change, and I'm lucky to have a business that is prospering in the economic recession. A lot of it is fun as well!
