Publicity

Shocked today at prices coming in to get a CD-ROM duplicated. Have now reduced quantities, gone to b/w printing and may even do duplication myself and just get a sticker printed.

The banner price seems to be increasing too. Had a nice quote for nylon (less than £20) but getting samples of foam backing that would create a more rigid banner. Price now increasing to £70.

Still haven't paid for printing of the A6 card....or the Ad to go into the Trade catalogue..... scary stuff and I still need to buy loads of beads.

Met with a business coach this week who at least encouraged me that I"m clearly on the right track with my marketing. She did help to refine the blurb on the A6 card and made some good suggestions. It's hard to focus on all this with BCTF coming up, but I am going to put an ad into two local village magazines and advertise parties which are great for publicity as well as sales.

Now to start work on my own A5 flyer that needs updating. Never ends.....
