jamie1985 6 Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 Good luck mate, all the best for the future! Quote Link to post
markha 99 Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 If you can make it work in this climate youl'll do just fine. There is nothing more focussing than spending your own money on a business project. As the director of a small company I can honestly say that at the moment product/service price and advertising are without a doubt 'the' key factors. Advertise as much as you can and use all the free methods that are going, get a website, get a facebook page, get leaflets printed and get noticed. All the best ., Quote Link to post
bunwell wood shoot 2 Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 It is a difficult time but we are expanding into courses and although the general situation is poor at the moment shooting and stalking seen to be just jogging along ok. A couple more years and those who are still there will be doing well I believe. Quote Link to post

Lurchandhistribe 0 Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 all the best with the enterprise. If you can get into good local pubs and restraunts they will provide a very good outlet as venison and pigeon is in high demand. its on lots of menus round here at the moment How far are you from Swindon. Work do a farmers market but you have to be from 50 miles or less? not sure what take up would be like or cost of attendance. Can find out more if of use. All the best Martin Quote Link to post
