When we first started touring around Scotland, visiting trade shows and businesses to source the products for our site, many of our suppliers did not know much about the internet at all. The forward-thinking suppliers were wise enough to realise, after some gentle but informative persuasion, that the internet could open up a much larger market for their products. Craftspeople in places like Scotland had struggled for years to access larger markets for their goods. Their goods were mainly of excellent quality but marketing was difficult, time-consuming and expensive. High-visibility websites such as Scottishquality.com began to give those skilled craftspeople the worldwide sales they deserved.
10 years on the market has consolidated, and competition is stiffer, but we are confident that pioneering websites like ours will continue to attract some of the best makers from around Scotland, and that we will be able to provide quality products and excellent service to our suppliers and customers for many years to come.
