Jackson's Camping

The Internet has become camping and leisure retailer John Jackson's shop window following the huge success of his website. Five years ago he pulled down the shutters on his Wirral camping equipment shop, unable to make a decent living because of the seasonal nature of his business.

However, his attentions soon turned to the Internet and he booked himself on a training course with Connect, where he began putting together his own web pages to test the market for an Internet camping retailer.

His website, www.jacksonsleisure.co.uk, has since become one of Britain's leading Internet mail order camping equipment sites serving customers across the country.

John regularly uses Connect Support to update his site and monitor the number of hits it receives. Thanks to Connect's SignPost service he has received orders from across the globe, including a request for helicopter tents from the American military!
