I mentioned earlier in the week that a friend of mine who I met several years ago at an SFM event London are starting a new venture.
As we both have parents who are suffering from forms of dementia we decided to start a web based resource for people like us who would rather our folks stayed at home
Now obviously as a business, we need products to sell as well as providing a mass of information, resources and lifelines for others who find themselves in this position.
Setting everything up - the website, the e-commerce platform and all the nuts and bolts has been fairly easy -
We have all the tools in our SFM back office so there has been no need to buy anything outside of that
And the high level marketing training and support we have available to us (again via the SFM community)
Means that we know exactly how to get this off the ground in the right way - in other words ….
NOT a sell, sell, sell approach - who wants that in this day and age!??
We aim to have this off the ground at the start of 2019 and are both very excited about it
We both know from personal experience how caring for people with this awful disease, and the various official bodies and red tape involved
Can have you at the end of your tether
And we want to be there for people who get to that place
I’ll keep you posted
Cheers!
Dave
