Why Our Best Customers Keep Coming Back: Loyalty to Fowey and Readymoney Beach Shop

Victoria Clark

At Readymoney Beach Shop, we’re lucky to have some incredibly loyal customers who return to us again and again, whether in person here at the beach in Fowey or through the online shop. Recently, I reached out to two of our most dedicated online customers, Sarah and Vend, after I discovered that between them they have placed nearly 50 online orders for Fowey gifts! Their stories offer a unique glimpse into why they keep coming back to us, what draws them to Fowey, and how my little shop has become a beloved part of their connection to Cornwall.

Sarah: Fowey in Her Heart

Sarah's relationship with Fowey runs deep, spanning over 50 years and her emotional connection to the town is unbreakable. “I’ve been coming to Fowey for over 50 years now, and my heart aches when I’m not there,” she shares. With a tattoo of Readymoney Cove to keep the spirit of the place close to her (now that IS dedication!), Sarah often makes solo trips to Fowey in January for a week of fresh air, peace, and reflection.

But there’s one part of her trips that she never misses: her visit to Readymoney Beach Shop. “I always make a special trip to your shop every time I’m in Cornwall. It’s everything a little beach shop should be.” From locally sourced treats to sustainable products like coffee served in reusable cups, it means so much me as a small business owner that my shop gives Sarah finds the charm and nostalgia she craves. And as someone who is “obsessed with anything sparkly and unusual,” Readymoney Beach Shop's collection of unique Cornish gifts - especially our range of jewellery - keeps her coming back for more.

When Sarah isn’t in Fowey, the beach shop website serves as a way to stay connected. “Your webcam is great too,” she says, “I’ll sit there and wave at my friend when we’re on the phone together.” For Sarah, Readymoney Beach Shop offers more than just products, it’s a bridge between her love for Fowey and her everyday life, wherever she may be. I can't tell you how proud I am to be part of that 😊.

Vend: The Enchantment of Readymoney Cove

Vend’s story starts with years of visiting Fowey and Polruan, but more recently, it has been about Vend and her husband Dave holidaying at Seaweed Cottage right on Readymoney Cove with their dogs. For them, Readymoney is an “enchanting place” with stunning views of the estuary and local walks.

But it wasn’t always the way it is now. “It’s hard to remember Readymoney Cove before the shop was there,” Vend explains, reflecting on how much of a positive difference the shop has made to the area. “It’s not just about being able to enjoy a barista-style coffee on the beach or locally sourced treats like ice creams or pasties. It’s also the seaside atmosphere and charm that the shop brings.”

What makes Readymoney Beach Shop stand out to Vend is the way it caters to everyone, from swimmers to families, whilst also offering a curated selection of Fowey gifts online. “There are lots of imaginative and creative quality gifts for friends and family, with the choice of items available for all ages.” Vend appreciates the combination of practical items and unique souvenirs that serve as a reminder of Readymoney Cove long after they’ve left.

When Vend and Dave can’t be in Fowey, they know they can always rely on the online shop to stay connected to their favourite spot. “When you’re back at home, there’s always the online shop,” Vend adds, showing how the convenience and variety of the shop’s offerings help keep their love for Fowey alive all year round.
