Moccasin Slippers - An Article From The Past

It is always interesting looking over old posts that have been made to our Blog. This one is really interesting as it looks at the range of Moccasin Slippers that we sell. The post is from 26th April 2008. What is interesting to note is that a lot has happened since this post. A new coalition Government that seems heel bent on cutting everything and increasing costs - as a way of helping the country get out of its financial mess, or as they so frequently put it 'we have hard choices to make due to to the rather lacklustre approach to finances from the previous Government' or something along those lines. Whichever Government is in charge it generally does not help small business or at present, the amount that we all have to spend on anything other than living costs, seems to diminish everyday.

So, what is the purpose of this entry? Simply, take a look at our website at the prices of our Moccasin Slipper range between 2008 and today - you will notice that with an increase in raw materials, a VAT rise of 2.5% and transportation costs that making driving a luxury for some, you would expect prices to have soared in the past three years?

Our prices are still the same, yes we make less profit, yes we have had to make cost savings across the whole of the business, but to date our prices have remained relatively the same as 2008 - How many other business can say that?

Do we need a pat on the back for our efforts? No - we provide real value products to our customers at a price that reflects today's economics. If you know anyone that would benefit from our range why not share our link, or maybe join us on Facebook?
