I sense alot of negativity in the room
Matthew,
I can see your point, self employed one man bands are just a pain the arse
A couple of points in my favour tho,
1 I already have the room ( workshop etc )
2 I have other people who work for me, so not just doing it myself
3 I have a fairly large database of commercial clients already that use us
4 We are a fairly well known business in our local area
In my opinion lots of business go for the local smaller business than national companies as they know they can get service at short notice and a bit more personal attention.
I think the local aspect would be the usp and would probably market that.
The thing i need to know is where to source them cheaply enough
I did a bit of investigating also at the weekend and some businesses that i came across had some extremelt dirty entrance mats, looked like not been cleaned for several years
So there must be an opening somewhere here, maybe Initial dont cover this area ?
Think if I did it, would have to be more than £2 - £3 a mat,
Regards
Steve
