Have you ever considered opening a shop?
Yes, at one time I did, but I changed my mind. Why? I really like the "one on one" personal attention I am able to give my clients. This is something that is harder to do in a storefront setting. Brides that come to me do so partially because they want individualized attention and don't particularly want interruptions, distractions or an audience while being fitted.
Plus, the feedback from my customers has been positive! They like the relaxed atmosphere!
Now you may be a bride who is skeptical about going to a home based business and I truly understand your concerns. I wouldn't want you to come to me if you felt you would be totally out of your comfort zone. You should go where you feel comfortable and still get the service you want.
