Shoes – The Best Bodyguards for Everyone


What is the most reliable guard that has ever been invented by man? There could be a bit of argument on this but shoes will eventually be voted as the best ones. No matter where we go, we need to have shoes to protect us because it saves us from the heated sand of a desert and also from the cold snow on a mountain. They save the feet from the pebbles and stones when walking on a rough path and also from the baboons while we walk in a park or on grass. Point is that there is no way we can avoid shoes and that is why the wholesale shoes business has always been a favorable one and especially in the UK, shoes market has always had good time.

There is a wide range of shoes that are sold everyday and people belonging to different classes and having different professions buy shoes of different styles and that is the reason why so much variety of shoes is available in the markets. There are purely office shoes that are bought for the daily use as the employees and working class uses them in offices and workplaces while there are school shoes that are bought for the school going kids. Another type of shoes that are bought on regular basis is joggers because when one goes for the playing in the ground or goes for a walk, they normally wear these sneakers.

The sneakers are not the sports shoes, as believed by most people because the sports shoes are quite different and if professional sports shoes are bought, they are much more expensive than the regular sneakers. These sports shoes are normally worn by sportsmen and athletes because they are made for these purposes specifically. Then there are dress shoes that are worn normally at parties like wedding ceremonies. These are executive shoes that are worn at special occasions. Thousands of brands are selling their shoes all over the country and there are scores of multinational brands as well that operate in the United Kingdom so a shoes wholesaler never runs out of business.

Wholesale Flowers – A Business with Low Capital Requirement


The most soothing effect to the mind is of course the fragrance that touches one’s nose and flowers are the source of all the fragrance that there is in the world. These flowers are sold and bought at almost every nook and corner of the United Kingdom because the British are one of the most traditional nations of the world and presenting the friends, relatives, newly married couples with bouquets is also one of the traditions. For this reason the wholesale flowers is one of those businesses that need low investment but has good profits. Flowers are sold every day in large numbers and these flowers are also bought in bulk by party decorators.

Party decorators use these flowers for the sake of decoration of course and they are probably the largest buyers of flowers as well. Wedding ceremonies are held all over the country and the flowers are all over the place in any wedding ceremony. From the bouquets that are presented by the people attending the ceremony to the range of flowers that are used in decorating the stage and the church and also the hall in which the wedding meal is had. The flowers are sprinkled on the way and in short every thing is flowered in a wedding ceremony. Same goes with the parties in the city where families or the friends are invited flowers are a must for scent in the hall.

The situation of economy is quite confusing at the moment and the number of lay offs during the past four years has been the highest in the recent decades. The UK wholesalers have been in this situation because they are not getting big orders as the market demand is quite low while the manufacturing companies are laying off the workers for this very reason. It is best for these laid off employees to start a business that does not need much investment and wholesale flowers is one such business for sure which does not have huge profits but at least has enough to offer that one can manage his daily needs through this business.

Economy won’t be corrected, we have to correct it.


The country is going through a difficult phase economically and the UK wholesale business has been suffering along with the economy because obviously it is the part of the larger economy of the country. A lot of wholesalers have tried to go for innovation in the fields of web marketing and supply chains and this has helped as well but when the overall business situation of the country is not in order, the wholesalers cannot escape from this problem as well. It has already been reported that the organization of wholesalers in the country has asked the government to freeze the increments in the pay scales of the employees from October 2013 because it is not affordable for them.

However, it is a fact that the wholesale businesses throughout the country are not suffering and there are certain centers where the business has see good exposure of money. One such example is of Thames Valley that has seen positive trends despite all the problems that are being faced by the country and the overall economy. Another point is that despite the problems that are being faced by the economy, there are certain businesses that have seen a boom. The UK wholesalers must learn their ways and look at it carefully what good they are doing In order to make good money even during this period when the economic situation is not appropriate.

It can be said that the individual brilliance is the key to success in their case but it is also a fact that this individual brilliance is enhanced by a good strategy and if the strategy is good the business may prosper even under these circumstances. The problem with the economy is that the businessmen have stopped trying. Unless and until this issue is not taken up seriously, the wheel will not start to role. The big investors, who have held their money back, can also try and think of newer ways of multiplying their money.

The government was criticized that it was not doing any thing to correct the situation. Though, it was untrue and the government has always taken measures whether they bore fruit or not but this time the government has come up with something solid and concrete as they have decided to open a new bank for the medium sized businesses to provide them with the loans at easier terms and through easier means. Although the bank has not been set up as yet and it has only been announced but it is hoped that it will soon be able to start working. Now it is up to the businessmen how they make something out of this opportunity.
