Let's chew the fat, there are many many gift / travel accessories / homewares online stores and sometimes although they may be pretty, you could wonder if they are legit. So I thought I thought now is as good a time as any to give you a few reasons why buying from Kiosk stores is the greatest decision you will make today.
1- I am a one person band, I would like to expand one day and be the next Selfridges (but with better lighting) but until my organic growth allows me a seat on the power table, Im here wholeheartedly for you. That means when you email me a question, I will always reply quickly and honestly. If you want a product which is out of stock and you leave a message on the website, its me who will always get back to you.
That's me drinking some delicious wine and sharing it with you, because Im big on communication and honesty.
I hate the postage in Australia. It's slow, clunky and probably the only thing about Kiosk that annoys me. I choose Sendle because they are slightly less annoying than the major network but every now and then they will also send me a pickle. In those cases I watch / email and generally make noise until we can sort it out- I also email you along the way. I will never put my head in the sand over postal problems or leave you to sort it out.
We all like to think we have good taste but I truly believe this is something im really good at (that's embarrassing to write, but I am try to sell Kiosk here and if I just said we ALL have good taste that would talk me out of a job) I don't buy brands / products because they are seasonal / cool or instagramable, I buy them because they are high quality, functional and add to your day / gift / journey. I also buy them because I want them and as I say, trust me I have pretty good taste.
I am the original old fashioned business model ahem also model as seen above. I take all my own photos, I promise they are getting better, do the website, plan the products and run a pretty small but grand in demeanour instagram account and basic marketing plan. While this is possible (read fundamentally) growing my business at a slower rate, it also means every sale / money that enters Kiosk goes straight back out on stock and not paying for a better looking influencer to pretend to like my goods.
Occasionally Ill decide not to stock a brand / products so they will go into my Sale section on the website but I won't do store wide discounts or sales, what I do do is price my products to the retailers RRP or if they are not given then I price competitively and fairly.
So to recap, Im legit, Kiosk is an incredible source of daily products for gifts and travel and I am always available for questions, comments and well meaning advice.
