Refreshing Enthusiasm


Links and resources geared to the needs of shops that have been trading for some time:

The satisfaction of serving behind the counter in our community shop is, I think, still pretty strong in our 8 month-old venture, especially since we have completed a major refurbishment and extension of the premises we took over last April with the help of a large grant from the county council rural regeneration grant scheme.
However, the long dark days of winter are upon us, and I wonder whether we will sustain the enthusiasm of our volunteers, and what to do next to stimulate it.
Any ideas?

This is an issue that affects many shops and in order to generate further discussion we have started a new forum topic here - http://www.plunkett.uk.net/node/1596 . If you have any thoughts or ideas please share them with other shops by commenting on the forum post.
