March 26, 2010 was the "vernissage" day for Fotodigitaldiscount franchising in France (I still do not know why the french use this "Vernissage" word, maybe because it is usually done after painting the walls)...anyway, we're proud to have helped Antonello Treglia bring his growing franchising chain abroad.
How many other Italians try to go abroad nowadays ? He deserves credit for this.
It took us a lot of work to get here, such as painting walls and distributing tracts (depliants). I've already posted the photos hereis one of them once again, in small format:
Anyway the big day finally came, and last friday we opened the door of home on the Promenade...
to reach rue Dante and open the doors of our fist store (a "magasin"). Here it is:
The store is "conveniently located" 4 minutes from home and 5 minutes from the beach, so --- we can go from the above to the below in 6 minutes, for lunch... :
..and then back to sales...
..support...
...and related high-tech activities...
We cannot forget that Radio is the soundtrack of our lives, so here are our friends Luca and Grant talking about important world issues....
On my part, I'm proud to have an all-macintosh operating environment, with the cash & stock software running on OSX, a system also able to print the "scontrino":
...that nobody wants anyway, as here the "scontrino" is not "fiscale" at all: just a piece of junk paper.
We had to stock some digital cameras, but I could not resist and brought an analog, instant, integral, beloved SX-70:
...because in the very same days the Impossible became possible, and we now have PX instant film again!. I ordered a few packs, and post news about it as soon as they hit the cote d'Azur.
I want to have rue dante became the home of the new instant film for south france...we'll see.
Oh, bth, here is how rue dante looks the SX-70 way:
of course there are "casini" as in all business, and here is how some packages of early customers look as they reached our store...
maybe the travel from Italy to France is too long and bumpy ? Who know.
I had to add that we managed to keep the "gym" schedule intact, including BodyStep and Body Attack...as to say, the important things first!
Anyway, the doors are open, in the next few months we'll see if the Business Plan they gave us in Rome (that predict us becoming millionaire in months!) will become reality!
