After a number of weeks my wifes business just isnt producing enough. The issue is building a client base. Not enough clients to make a living or indeed to make it all worthwhile.
The business is based outside Glasgow (10 miles). The work area is rented space which has waxing and skin care on offer. One problem is there is nothing to indicate nail services are available. This lack of visibility is not helping.
My wife is a recent arrival from USA and has 20+ years in the business. The UK business seems to differ greatly from the US.
Question is does she continue? If so, how do we increase the client base? Advertising right now is only Facebook.
The other option is to go get a job in a spa (in Glasgow). She recently had a skills test and interview. The outcome was the tester/interviewer was amazed at her ability/experience/knowledge of the nail business. The fear now is she may be over qualified to be employed.
This whole scenario is causing great angst.
I know this is a very long post however, any advice on a way to proceed?
Thanks in advance.
