need a little help
At the risk of this looking like a plug for promotions... I have left out my
weblink and signature title. I do know fishing pretty well... but I'm terrible at sales. I sell bulk fishing flies online and own a small tackleshop out of my garage. The problem is... I need some help about how to work promotions for both. How to get the word out and get my sales moving. I really want these endeavors to be able to support me. Has anyone undertaken these types of businesses before or can offer some thoughts on how best I could advertise my products / services to the folks who could use them? I can offer more details if anyone needs more to help. -Sprattoo

Bass poppers, trout selection dry/nymphs/ streamers, etc. You can also make up wholesale cards for display at tackle shops and bait stores. I buy jigs by the card, for example. Getting the fishermen to buy is the hard part. With flies, you are chasing the market, and the market is fickle and stubborn.. You may be tying old established patterns and they are catching fish on mylar and nylon day-glo. Doing mail order, perhaps you could research local favorite and put together regional assortments. I could use a few 1/8 oz red/white shad darts with white bucktail, (my posting addy works) Pepperoni

I put a good deal of time into an add for a product (a dozen flies in a container) I would get $10.00 -$12.00 for in my shop. It sold for a whopping $2.50! Ebay kind of stinks these days. So many dirt priced products, with shipping at $20.00. It's not even like human beings out there anymore. I like the idea of fly combo cards.... that sounds good. I need to find a solid way to get fishermen into the shop... _______________________________ www.fly-fishing-flies.com Flies from $5.60 per DOZEN and more! _______________________________
