Why we started our own baby shop in Perth
For many years we have been actively looking to set up a brick-and-mortar baby shop in Perth. Below are the reasons why;
Meeting mums and dads
As we have a daughter ourselves we love to meet other parents. And being a new parent is difficult and sometimes can be lonely so we like the idea of having a shop that people can socialise in.
It is also nice for people to meet the faces behind the My Little Love Heart brand and a great opportunity to meet our customers face to face and their beautiful babies.
Feel the quality and test the products
It’s great for people to come and feel the quality of the handmade items. To inspect the stitching and see the patterns we use in person. For products like bandana bibs or girls’ hair accessories, your babies can test them and try them on for size and style.
Expert advice and guidance
As a new parent, you are thrust into the world of babies and baby products. It is difficult to know what products are essential and what is nice to have. This is one of the reasons we developed our baby shopping list to assist. However, sometimes people will need assistance in how to use a product or which item is better. We hope that with physical premises people can come in and ask for this advice.
Convenience
When shopping online you have to wait to receive your purchase. However, with a physical retail shop, you can come and pick up your products straight away.
Payment is quick and easy
When shopping online there is a range of online forms required to make your purchase. However, when shopping in a store you can tap and go.
No need to provide customer details
In this day in age, you should be keeping your data private, especially for e-commerce websites. We go out of our way to protect your data and payment details online. And in our physical shop, we won’t need your addresses and phone number.
No shipping costs
A major benefit of shopping in-store is that there are no additional shipping costs associated with your purchase.
No lost packages or tracking codes
One of the most frustrating things about having an online shop is that on occasion the freight companies lose an order. When you are buying in person you don’t need any tracking codes and no lost packages. You simply walk out with your products ready to use.
Returns are easier
Should you not be satisfied with your purchase or it is faulty in any way it’s easier to return an item to a physical shop. We have a generous refund and returns policy in place.
We urge everyone to shop locally and support their suburban stores. These businesses are the hub of our communities. Thank you for supporting my dream.
