Selling a game controller in Livingston
Livingston is a new town in West Lothian designated in the 1960s, built around a set of residential districts and a large covered shopping centre, with an electronics manufacturing history that gave the corridor its nickname.
Electronics and technology employment moves staff on contract cycles, and new-town housing means furniture is replaced rather than kept. Commuting to the cities either side adds turnover.
The town is laid out for driving with generous parking in every district, so anything large is straightforward. Say which district plainly, because the centres are a fair distance apart.
Confirm which district the item is in. The town is a set of residential districts rather than one centre, and the name alone will not get you to the right place.
Livingston, in Scotland, has around 57,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. Glasgow, Edinburgh and Aberdeen are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
