Progression

Alternative routes my business could take... In the future I would like to start making more products for owners of pets such as clothing with quotes about pets, or names on. I would also like to have more products in shops, however this means that I have to make a lot of stock. So that I'm able to keep up with future orders it would be worth teaching some family and friends how to make some of the products so that if it was to get really busy I would be able to get some help. It would also be good to have some stock made up ready to go, or that materials to make stock so that if people were to order I would have the materials ready to get the order out quicker.

I also attend a BNI meeting which is a networking group which allows businesses to present what they do to around 30 other business members. Their goal is to get referrals which means that if they can get me any business, they get extra benefits for themselves and their business, so they are willing to share posts, make orders and give out business cards. This is also free and having been I have been able to get some of my products in shops in Hepsworth, Gorleston, Halesworth and Great Yarmouth. I also save money by making other products out of waste materials, for example, small pieces of paracord which come off a dog lead can be used to make keyrings, or if there is enough, bracelets which can be sold at craft fairs, or ...
