Business Scenario - your view

[Paddy]

thats a tough one. out of 1.5 million potential clients?!?

i have spent 1k so i would have hardly scratched the surface of that number.

but im only after 12 clients a week. 216 in total.

216 of 1.5 million whats that percentage?!?

what i do have going for me is this. the average price of this product is 650GBP

i am selling it at 400GBP

Not one of those pyramid selling thingies

it doesnt matter what it is does it? as long as the numbers add up.

its a retail item basically.

as u well know ive started my own businesss.

You haven't have you ??

for the business to be successful, i need to acquire 12 customers/clients per week for 18 weeks.

You recon ?

I have already taken 1 booking and 4 enquiries for potential bookings for dedicated weeks.

That'll be 1 booking then

i have spent 1,000 GBP on advertising and promotion across different channels, online, print, etc...

1,000 big ones eh ? Where did you get your MBA again ?
how does the future look?

errrrrrr ...............how about tulip ?

Do we really have to persevere with this ?

Wheres that prat mailman when I need someone to slag off.

Ok I still think you need to apply some estimation to it, even if you think you'll end up with a huge market. For example do you know how many of the average priced products get sold each month/year ? eg. the market may be 1.5 million, but if you're selling, say, coffins, your absolute best performance will be one sale per client lifetime, not one a month !

Assuming that there is a big untapped market and you're being competitive, then I would suggest that you haven't reached critical mass with your advertising/marketing efforts yet. Can you tell us exactly what you've done so far ?

If you spent 1k on pr, your curstomers would have to spend 1k in ignorance. Unless your running sheilas wheels or HCA, your PR better make people remember the world will end unless they buy yur product.
