Bit quiet this year

[Marko]

Probably spent 50 quid in total

 

Be aware that for half that amount and for less effort you could have had a listing on Firewood - seasoned logs and wood fuel for woodburners, log burners and wood fuelled boilers

 

Leaflets might well be more appropriate for launching your business but it might be worth a try on the website especially if you are in an area with no one else currently advertising.

What are you selling hard or soft wood,seems like the place has been flooded with soft wood at present,the next 3 months will tell but it is a bit quiet at the moment,need snow badly.

All hardwood Bri, they keep talking about snow, it's supposed to turn really cold Thursday according to the forecast, Easterly winds from Siberia, good times

I thought it was just me that was quite on the log job

I am about 150 loads down on this time last year , the weather dosent help

There are now 7 log adverts in the local rag most of them undercutting everybody . One guy convinced an old dear that pine was in fact a hardwood [ something i didnt know ! ]

Nice to be steady away rather than flat out , miss the money though

Picked up a bit today took 2 orders,really need an easterly wind for the next 3 months,but things are ticking along and i have loads of stock for when things pickup,so cant complain atleast it aint raining.

Ok thanks for that. The 50 quid is the total amount i've spent, thats included leaflets, couple of web adverts, few village news letters etc etc. Will look at your posted link now.

 

Thanks

logs are flying out in sunny (snowy) essex, busier than last year all last years customers have reordered which is good, plenty of new customers who have had some stories to tell.

There was a tranny pick up in a layby on the A53 near Market Drayton today, trying to sell nets at £4.50. I went by him four times, I don't think he'd shifted much, I hope not as he was a mile from my back door

[DN22 Gardening]

didn't have many logs, as its my first year solo, but i've sold out.

 

done about 20 loads on the truck, and 150 ish nets.

 

all local

all word of mouth

 

can't wait for next year, got about 50 ton already

Don't you mean "20% Moisture", ie "80% dry" ???

Yes, you know what I meant to say.Was just getting dragged down by negative comments.
