Several questions for all you business owners...

[luke_mclachlan]

Hi everyone,

 

I've been pretty busy at work, plus working on a new project, hence the reason for my hibernation

 

Since I was on here last I've been thinking of ways to make this a more transparent market for you biomass suppliers and also for your customers. I've got to the stage now that I have a business plan almost fully completed. A wacky plan that's almost fully on paper and it involves modernizing the search for renewable energy, to bring it into line with conventional gas and electricity. It sounds a little vague I know, but I'm trying not to reveal too much on an open forum just yet.

 

However, before I go forward, I need to assure myself that I'm not wasting my energy on something that will generate zero revenue.

 

So I wonder if I can get together a group of 25+ of you guys and girls to answer a questionnaire? The more the merrier in fact! It's 10 questions about current advertising, future advertising, comments and suggestions. It's best if you have a firewood business, even other forms of biomass.

 

Could you please leave your interest here, and I'll get in contact with you via the PM's. It'll be an anonymous questionnaire for sure.

 

I stopped purchasing biomass because of the complicated search process and I'm sure there are many other people like me. I'm now buying gas and I feel bad about it, but it's transparent and I know what I'm getting in terms of quality and price. I think I have the answer though and it could be good for your business

 

Cheers / Luke

I will happily answer your questionnaire Luke. Though I only do a day or 2 a week logs through the winter. My main business is tree surgery and line work.

You could do a questionnaire using Survey Monkey and post a link here and some of the other green forums (Green Building Forum, Navitron etc). That way the whole process is anonimised, will be less prone to bias and you get a wide cross section of respondents and you also remain anonymous if you wish.

 

Great idea by the way!! Hope you make your million!!!

Funny you should say that Triassic, I was looking at them but I have slightly more than 10 questions. so what I've done is set up a free account, published the survey and got my web friend to make me the same questions and format. little cheeky of me I suppose

you're absolutely right about the bias, i want to avoid that completely.

That's very kind of you to suggest this and help me out, very much appreciated

Btw do you also want to participate?
