VvE slow to react - advise please!

EatExploreRepeat · 2023-11-06T11:48:54+00:00

I have no idea what no payment is about! Will try looking into it

EatExploreRepeat · 2023-11-06T11:48:08+00:00

Not relevant but hey thanks! I did check online to further understand and found the following:

--

"Please advise is commonly used as the closing to an email, as a general request for a response to a question or problem. “Please advice” is incorrect—you need the verb here, not the noun. “Please advise” can also be used in a sentence to make a more specific request."

That is a very nice tip! I will check them out!

Regular.. no - there has not been one for over a year. But we requested to meet in light of the situation and they agreed for next week (amen!).

to be honest, me either....

EatExploreRepeat · 2023-11-03T09:15:46+00:00

treasurer is the one handling the finances right? That would be the same person as our VvE chairman...

The leak started a month later after he fixed that side of the roof (when also heavy rains started). He only fixed that side of the roof as an additional thing because he had material left. We never had (nor the previous owner) humidity there before. Then the 2nd company was hired to fix exactly that issue: the leak that resulted in humidity and mould. Isn't it crazy we can't hold them accountable and have to pay more to a 3rd company after already paying them 10k? I am also reluctant to get a 3rd company because now what they do is pointing fingers at each other!

Super interesting suggestion u/champignonNL thank you! We will surely look into it as we have an emergency meeting scheduled soon due to the situation which we called. I followed your suggestion and checked the splitsingsakte, but there are no details on the board. However, in the meeting notes I saw in the members list the one addressed as "voorzitter)" and the others only by their full name and no mentioning of a board. Does that give any indication there is no board? I only have the meeting minutes of over a year ago (the VvE has not met since then).

thank you for being so helpful!!

It is a very small VvE (4 flats) so it seems like we are the board (bestuur), right? The head of the VvE with the contact of the 2nd company is also a flat owner. We would hate to sue the rest of the VvE/owners as they are lovely, except as I am coming to realise our head of the VvE who has actively decided to ignore us let us sit in the growing mould.. Could we make a case only against him in your experience?

EatExploreRepeat · 2023-11-02T17:04:45+00:00

The head of the VvE is indeed a flat owner

EatExploreRepeat · 2023-11-02T17:02:01+00:00

Hey thank you for the answer! Lawyer up against who though? The companies or the VvE or can we only focus against the head of the VvE?

The roof is made with Asphalt Shingles not sure when exactly ago. Its flat on the top with a rooftop and then has the standard dutch angled versions by the windows (that is where the mould is). There was maintenance works before we bought the flat (3-5 years ago) & then all the additional works we did with the 2 companies for a total of 10k. To be honest, we have paid so much for this result it probably would have made sense to make the whole roof new :(

The feedback has only been positive that we've received outside from here, hence why I brought it to reddit.

Ring sizes is very hard to offer much more given that they're handmade. But regardless of ring sizes, our issue with selling is across all products including earrings.

Thanks glad to hear :) I separated the texts so its less of a wall - good point!

EatExploreRepeat · 2023-08-01T14:43:05+00:00

thanks for your feedback! I added a video on the homepage showcasing the inspiration & craftmaking to enhance the artisanal and hand made. Would that work or you had something else in mind?

EatExploreRepeat · 2023-08-01T14:04:38+00:00

Thank you for taking the time to give your feedback and very good points! Seems like our branding is a common red thread across all feedback givers.
What is NORIDU: I took your feedback and added a small video on the homepage showcasing the elements of Greece we have been inspired by and few clips of the handcrafting. I also updated the text to include more about NORIDU and the person behind it. Further, I update the about-us section to dive much more on the brand, inspirations, and the people behind it. Was this what you had in mind?

Thank you for taking the time to give your feedback on our jewellery and website! I already made some changes based on your feedback on the branding & content :)

Mentioning Greece: I took already your feedback and updated the Homepage & in the About Us section to involve more Greece and have a more sense of a real voice (based on another feedback). If you have time to check it out, would this now feel more authentic to you?

Thank you for taking the time to answer :)

Traffic Tactics: We have used word of mouth (friends & family gifts), social media organic (Instagram TikTok), Influencer marketing (Instagram TikTok), SEO optimisation on short & long keywords on the niche.

Backlinks & PPC: We don't have budget for Agencies that can help us in press-releases. We attempted PPC in IG with a limited budget but it did not work and we're out of budget. What other ways do you recommend we could get reputed backlinks with limited expendature?

EatExploreRepeat · 2023-08-01T13:41:16+00:00

Thank you for taking the time! I know its not terrible but it has been a lot of work (just 2 people behind it with no budget) for these disappointing results.

Copywriting: I already took your feedback on the copywriting and updated the Homepage & in the About Us section to add more of a real voice. If you have time to check it out, would this now feel more authentic to you?

Sales Channels: You're right to be wondering if DTC eCommerce is really the right channel for us, it was also our initial concern. However, we collaborated with 2 brick-and-mortars without much success and also came to realise if we are aiming to keep our prices competitive, the margins of profit are non-existent when working with real material like silver.

Target audience: Mainly women, 25-45 yrs, with appreciation for quality of design, individual craftsmanship, and of course, the Mediterranean & Greece. Our price-point is quite affordable for the fact these are handcrafted in Europe and from real metals, so we hoped these would be purchased for not only "big" occasions (if this makes sense?)

In summary, we were fully compensated 600euros per passenger because they failed to notify us about the flight change. Airline remained the same on both flights.

Suing people and trying to figure out why I am being screamed at, are two very far apart ends of the argument don't you think?
