THE BUSINESS

These include vitamins and minerals, herbal remedies, superfoods, baby and child care products and cosmetics. The product range has well respected and prestigious brands such as Dr Hauschka, Green People, Weleda, Vogel, Viridian and Pukka. Essential Care, a locally made organic range has recently been introduced. All products have a strong ethical bias and are mostly organic. Medicine, homeopathy, Dr Hauschka beauty treatments and massage.
The business has a strong therapy provision, being the location for Colchester Acupuncture and Colchester Homeopathy Clinics. Other therapies offered include osteopathy, reflexology and massage. Organic beauty treatments for Dr Hauschka and Barefoot Botanicals are also offered.
The business is currently run by a mother and daughter team assisted by one part time assistant who is a therapist. On going training and retail support is offered by dedicated representatives who promote various product lines.
The customer base is varied, but comprises mainly people over the age of thirty, including significant numbers of parents with young familes with an interest in health related issues. Many come from outside Colchester. The business has very little direct competition locally and customer value the personal service and advice offered.

Our client’s shop which is often described as niche is located in the heart of the bustling town of Colchester in Essex. Sante trades from a highly visible location just off the main high street in an historic part of town which is known for its variety of independent shops. There is ample free parking close by.
The town has a heritage spanning many centuries. With a population of 104,000, there is a large commuter presence. The A12 trunk road connects the town with Ipswich to the north, and Chelmsford to the south. There is a railway station on the Norwich-London Liverpool Street line, with the capital accessible in less than 45 minutes. Stansted International Airport is less than an hour by road.
The county of Essex supports a large, mainly urbanised population with an ageing demographic. This, and the high profile of health and well being generally, provides an excellent marketing opportunity for the business.
