Well, my sort of store front will be changing soon. Being a home business, I do have customers bring their equipment to me. Most take me up on being home most of the time, with the minority having a call out.
The business is located in the basement, but that entrance is in need of repair, and a real sidewalk/walkway. Also changed the structure of the rooms. This is a 1/2 basement, with a separation from the other side with a door. The way it used to be is that the main entrance goes to the dual purpose game room and business. A larger room was the bench room and a smaller room an exercise room. NOW, the larger main basement (still the 1/2 basement) is dedicated to the bench area, with triple the counter space and double the work area. The entrance area (1/2 of the entrance room) is the 'store front.' I'll be purchasing store fixtures to showcase items for sale, and the two areas will be divided by a black velor curtain. The smaller room will now be computer storage, and the larger the exercise room.
The entrance will be repaired/prettied up, and when the weather breaks, a pathway and pathway lighting will be added.
I didn't want to spend the money, but I think if I put out a better impression, the word will spread, and more work will ensue. I'll be placing photos, and a youtube video online as major stages are complete. If anyone has any decorating ideas I'd be more than welcome, but my space is still limited, being a 1/2 basement already. So far spent about $350 on the added counter space, which will make my life so much easier!
As you can see, I have the physical layout of the space, but what I'm usually lacking is the little touches that add to the whole thing. Decorating, pictures, knickknacks, whatever. For instance, one idea I had was to get a mannequin (small, bust size) and perhaps have one of my business t-shirts on it or some funny computer-ish shirt for sale. That sort of thing.
Thanks for any input-
