I’ve just had a very enjoyable break – 10 day holiday with Mrs F. We flew out to Tenerife and stayed in a very nice apartment overlooking the sea. The weather was lovely, the food the same and all in all it was a well earned break for the both of us. Now my question is – did you have a break whilst I was away? Did a machine break down or do you need some spares? Not a problem, just visit the website www.JFSpares.com , call me on 01843 606 533 or 07880 310 535 or email me john@jfspares.com and we can get you sorted. In the meantime have a great weekend! Regards, John
Milkshake Madness Recently my elderly mother has taken a liking to eating Big Macs. I’m not so much a fan myself but am happy to take her out to the local Maccas for a Big Mac meal as a treat and it’s nice to spend some time together. Personally, I prefer a milkshake and here’s a problem, you see on the last few occasions the milkshake machine at the local Maccas hasn’t been working. Apparently, according to Stacey on the drive thru checkout, it’s always breaking down and they are waiting for parts to fix it. In my mind I’m thinking that selling milkshakes is probably a ‘good earner’ and to have the machine not working is lost revenue – not a good place to be! With this in mind, I thought it would be a great opportunity to ask the question: “what parts should you be holding in stock in case one of your machines breaks down?” Plus of course I wanted to remind you that the JF Spares shop on the website, www.JFSpares.com is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Alternatively give me a call on 07880 310535 or 01843 606533.
Wishing all our customers a very Happy Easter! Don’t forget the online shop is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Easter is coming – are you ready? In less than three weeks it will be Easter, schools are breaking up at the end of next week and hopefully there’s some nice weather on the way. The question is - are all your machines working and ready? If you need spares let me know – · order online www.JFSpares.com · email me john@jfspares.com · call me 01843 606533 or 07880 310535
My nephew, Scott Aldous, is running the London Marathon this year to raise funds for the Pilgrims Hospices. Scott is running in memory of his mum, Jane, my sister, who was looked after by the wonderful caring staff at the Pilgrims Hospices. Obviously this is dear to my heart too, and that is why JF Spares is supporting Scott by sponsoring him and helping him raise awareness to raise funds for this great organisation. If you would like to support Scott too, here is the link: Scot Ty is fundraising for Pilgrims Hospices In East Kent (justgiving.com) Wishing Scott good luck on his run.
This week I was interviewed by Mike Chance for his All About Arcades blog. You can read it hear Spotlight on - JF Spares (allaboutarcades.co.uk)
This week I attended the EAG (Entertainment, Attractions and Gaming) exhibition at the Excel in London. I like to go each year and see what’s new and upcoming within the trade. More importantly though, I gives me the opportunity to see and chat with a lot of my contacts, suppliers and customers, old and new. Sometimes I meet a customer who’s been buying from me for years but we’ve never actually met – it’s always good to put a face to a name. Joining me as I walked around was Mike Chance of 3B Marketing . He has been helping me with my marketing and built my new website and ecommerce shop - www.JFSpares.com. He’s launching a new weekly blog for arcade owners called ‘All About Arcades’. Have a look at his website www.AllAboutArcades.co.uk for more information. Don’t forget if ever you need my help or advice just call me on 01843 606533, 07880 310535 or email me john@jfspares.com. Hope to speak soon… John Ferguson
