The sale of Pelican Point finally went through yesterday, new owners new shop.

So what are our plans?

1. We plan on doing alterations over the coming month so we can fit more gear in the shop and make it more interesting to visit.
2. We need a new name for the shop, that is were you can help watch Seabreeze to see how you can win a $1,000 gift voucher by coming up with a name.
3. We need to put together a new team, customer service and product knowledge will be number one priority. So if you are passionate about Windsurfing and/or Kitesurfing and would like to work in retail, teaching or rental send us an email with your details. We are looking for a full time manager and also part time employees. Uni students, we are busiest during your summer holidays and on weekends, so plan for the summer now. Please send applications to [email protected].
4. Watch Seabreeze for our opening sale & BBQ in July.
5. We won’t be doing trips to Cocos this year, but will certainly look at options for next year.

We are closed for renovations at present, however if we can help you with anything either take a chance that we will be there and drop in or ring on 9386 1830 or email [email protected]

So hope to see you in the new shop in July, hopefully we will have a new name by then

Cheers,

another suggestion:

make sure whoever you hire can do a webpage in something better than mspaint...

and has the drive to keep it updated.

Bolgo,

Thanks for the suggestion, its appreciated.

Certainly we will be doing 1 & 3. We have been thinking about 2 but not sure if it is worthwhile.

We have been looking at loyalty programs and it appears that the cost and complexity of managing them can certainly dilute the benefits that are passed on to the consumer.

I would be interested to hear what others think.

JJD,

We do plan on having a opening sale to move on some of the older stuff as well as some 2007 gear.

Thanks,

Robbo,

I did an dodgy update today in Frontpage (maybe that is nearly as bad as MSPaint) but when we find a new name and domain name we will certaily leave it to the experts.

Any suggestions as to what should be on the new website please send to [email protected].

Thanks,

Here are my suggestions for a name for your new windsurf/kite store:

1. Wind Gods
2. Wind-Logic
3. Windfreaks
4. Jump City
5. Surf Wind and Kite

I like the last one.
(a la earth wind and fire)
Get it ?

Good luck with your new shop.

For a decent professional website take a look at joomla.
www.joomla.org , its a content management system, incorporating user/member sign up area, online commerce shop modules, forum modules and the list continues, its open source so its basically free (Free doesn't mean its inferior - just look up programs like firefox,mysql,apache and php) it also uses a theme system so you can change the look and feel with just one uploaded file.


Easy to master , very safe/secure and search engine friendly check out - www.aksa.com.au/ for an example (At bottom of page is the same joomla.org link as above)

And check out-http://www.rockettheme.com/Available-Joomla-Templates/ for themes examples. Not affiliated with theses guys but they did have a theme called extreme which seemed a suitable example for you.

If you need any help let me know by email. Your welcome to check out one of my sites running on joomla, www.perth-people.org/ - its very new though.

Anyway good luck with the shop dude
