Shopping in Pjs

One thing occurred to me this morning, one positive note of having an online shop is you don't get people physically in your shop buying in PJs like Tescos do. Wonder how many sit online though and shop in their PJs!!

With regard to "processing a few RC orders in my PJ's", does anybody use the SMS texting service for notification of sales? I did get tired of it after one batch of credits was used sending me texts about intermittent sales in the middle of the night. Would it be better if there was just one SMS per day indicating daily total sales? This would also be of more use when roaming abroad and away from PCs???

I don't as my sales are usually sent out same day and as I'm around most of the time in the week its not worth it for me.

I find it most annoying getting phoned by customers though at 11.30 pm at night because their paypal has failed or whatever. Don't they ever sleep, can't they ring in the morning. Was surprised as one customer who recently did this an hour after I'd gone to bed got a real earful about it. Thought she wouldn't carry on and order, but she did amazingly. Must have been water off a ducks back as they say.

So there, I can also say I handle sales calls in my nightclothes!! But I won't be in the most helpful frame of mind then.

I had one customer phone me at 2.10 AM and couldn't understand why I wouldn't take the order.

If I answer these midnight callers via Skype in my PJ's with the vidio camera switched on they'll soon hang up!
