Name Change

Oh I see! I quite liked Hochanda as a name as it stood out! Many of the others are very samey.

Just heard Dan on C&C saying "We are the number one craft store".

[NeroWolfe]

On April 1st allegedly.

I thought this was an April Fools Day joke .........

[PinkPig]

It could very well be , you are right !

[Mitzi]

Surely if it were an April Fool they wouldn't announce it now.

[RozMinis]

Just heard Dan on C&C saying "We are the number one craft store".

Well if he says so I guess it must be so............ wanders off muttering about the insanity of it all. I've never had any problems finding Hochanda when I key it into any search engine. As for the Craft Store, there must be hundreds of those around.

I've posted on their Facebook page, along with agreat many other people. It isn't a very popular change.

The search stuff is a complete red herring, if they have good search engine optimisation then a search for craft will find them no matter what they are called. There are thousands and thousands of successful companies all showing up in searches despite their names not being indicative of what they do.

[PinkPig]

Well it wasn’t an April Fool joke.

I have searched for The Craft Store Face Book site but it isn’t showing up.

Change of name or not they’ve lost me - having put up the Freedom price to £7.97.! I already thought £3.95 for a single p & p was over the top but not prepared to pay Freedom price - especially as less and less on their shows is appealing to me as everything is getting way too expensive and nearly always delayed despatch.
So that’s C & C and now ‘Hochanda’ down the pan for me.
I will stick with the actual companies and continue giving them by business on anything I’m interested in buying.
