We have had to adapt to the way we sell wood a lt of our existing customers would order 50 % of what they ordered the previous year. So we started doing half cube and barrow bags they have sold really well as have .7 bags . We generate a lot of sales from passing trade.

 

Other ways we have generated trade is 30% discount to pubs then put a box if cards by the log pile the land lord gets get burn able wood at a discount and you get somewhere to showcase your product.

 

The other one is road side signs in areas where there is known to be wet logs been sold. Not big ones 18 by 12 inch up 8 ft on telegraph poles if you do a few in the same area people see the first then stop at the second to get number. We all so do this at busy junctions on fences with banners. In march we take them down in march put them back up in October.

 

This generates more business than any other form of advertising we do not have a website yet.

 

I've got no choice but to get the firewood out it's now my main income for me it's got to work

It works out at £84 a cube most pubs want big logs so there's less timber in the bag as there's more air gaps. I would say it's sold us at least 50 cube from it.

Just explain to the landlord that you don't want them mentioning money as one pub told a few people there discounted price.

 

It's Mike/ Mick or if I'm in trouble with the Mrs Michael

Manic since 15th of december. Averaging 20 to 30 load a week. Which is about time. I may be a happy man by end of march if we keep going like this we wont have much of the 3 hundred tonne we purchased last spring left. The big question now is do we get more for next yr. if you had asked me on december the 14th id have said we will prob have half of what we had left. How it can change in a month
