Opening a shop, or starting to sell online?
The best time to sort the stock, orders and posts is before they pile up. I'll set up what a new shop needs from day one, in your name, and show you it working before your first customer.

Moorhen Home & Gift
A husband rings about a jug in the window, two days before his wife's birthday.
Made-up call, 1:11. Amy is the same AI assistant that answers 01206 636 400.
Read the call
- Amy Hello, Moorhen Home and Gift in Wivenhoe. I'm Amy, Morgan's AI assistant, and calls are recorded so Morgan gets your message. How can I help?
- Caller Ah, hello. Bit of an emergency. It's my wife's birthday on Sunday, and she's had her eye on a jug in your window. Green, with a sort of wavy pattern?
- Amy I'll just check the stock.
- Amy That'll be the sage ripple jug, made by a potter in Rowhedge. There are two left. I can keep one behind the counter, or you can pay online now and collect it free.
- Caller Pay now, I think, before I forget. Can I pick it up on Saturday morning?
- Amy Of course. The shop opens at half nine on Saturdays, and gift-wrapping's free. Would you like it wrapped?
- Caller Yes, please. I'm hopeless with paper. It's Graham Tolley.
- Amy Thanks, Graham. I've texted a payment link to this mobile. Once it's paid, the jug will be wrapped and waiting with your name on it.
- Caller You've thought of everything. Thank you.
- Amy You're welcome. I hope she loves it.
