Shoe fitting service from home


Recommended Posts

New Business Idea.

Hello, my name is Naomi Everson, and I am currently working with the Princes Trust on a business idea, I would love to hear some feedback if anyone has any for me.

My business is called Shoes At Home, and it will provide a shoe fitting service for children from the comfort of your own home.

With a range of brands and fitting I would visit you at your home and measure and fit your children/children with the appropriate shoes.

I would provide my service during the holidays and after or before school, and after trading hours so you can simply relax.

I will be working from a van, fully stocked with shoes for children.

Please let me know your thoughts, I will be looking to trade in East Dulwich and surrounding areas.


Many Thanks,


Naomi Everson

Great to hear that you think this is a good idea, lovely to have some input!

Would you mind if I took some details from you? At this point I need to gather some potential customers to show the Princes trust that I am indeed gathering a focus group, and to eventually secure a grant with them and get my business of the ground.


I can log your details and keep you updated, and of course inform you of when I will be launching, and maybe even book you in for an appointment! very exciting.


If you would like to help,

maybe you could private message me your Name and email address?

I would be so grateful.


Kind Regards,


Naomi

I absolutely understand how shoe shopping can be very tricky, especially you have slightly different needs and of course you should have exactly the same selection of brands and styles to ensure that your child is 100% happy and comfortable in their shoes.


I can assure you that Shoes At Home would provide a very tailored and personal service, and a record of every child's fitting and size will be made, so that the next time I or a member of my team visits you, we will know exactly what the needs may be, and to also create relationships so that each child can feel comfortable and confident in telling us exactly how their shoes are looking and feeling!

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
