Sam Prior - MR barbers : blog update

Feel like I've been flying by the seat of my pants just lately, last week we traveled to Bradford ,Nantwich,Frodsham and Blackpool all in one day with the team last week in what could be a very exciting chapter to the MR Brand ,


In Blackpool the weather was typically British and the fish and chips from the local 'Yorkshire Fisheries' were perfect!

However our hopes of getting a ride on the big one were dashed as it was closed ,but that didn't stop us from a very positive meeting and enjoy watching our company MD Karl Foster struggle to control his brolly .

Myself and Karl spend more time together than we do with our wife's and now I've realised we must have look like a real couple ,so much so the nice guy on reception at the holiday in booked us in a romantic double room , although it didn't seem to bother Karl that much !

On a more serious note our long awaited branded products are on the production floor as we speak . I have intentionally held back after being approached by a number of companies and waited for the right opportunity . I think branded products need to have a lot of thought behind them before jumping in and going ahead .

The price the quality and appearance all have to be considered as there are so many good products on the market you may end up having a negative impact your product sales and profit . At the end of the day products are about margins and are an extra income to your business .

I think you have to have a good brand in the first place before even considering your own products .

As I am responsible for our social media I have just brought an iPad pro , it's an amazing piece of kit and for creating images for adverts and posts it looks to be a worthy investment . It has many pro apps that are unavailable on other apple products ,one of which is the amazing photo editing. So over the coming weeks as I get the hang of it you should see the improvement in my posts .
