I haven’t checked in for a while, but I might as well do it and complain about business ethics 😂
We know I love shouting about advents, well now it’s gofundmes, crowdfunders and donations or not donation donations.
Has nobody read the Emperor’s New Clothes? The way people keep giving away money for naff all in this community, it seems that way.
Please, please, please for the love of god support small businesses by BUYING from them. Stop donating money for absolutely sod all, for bad business practises and badly thought out nonsense.
There’s loads of us battling on, making lovely things for you that don’t get a look in because THOUSANDS of pounds goes to whatever nonsense is going on this week.
I’d love a UV printer. It’s £2000+ but I can’t justify that expense at the moment. It’s a business expense and not for my customers to give me money for.
If you are going to support local businesses, support them by buying stock they actually have, products you can actually buy, or short preorders. You are not an interest free loan, and you should really question why they aren’t using business loans.
