Going into Business - 2007/04/07 19:51
Hello. I have been reading this forum and lurking trying to find out everyone's thoughts. My kids and i will start a bait business at first and then continue to grow the worms for sale as composters and other uses.
My plan is to sell to the independent garen shops in our area, advertise in free papers, and sale wholesale to bait shops. I anticipate a year before we can start selling large quanties to home garden users.
As for bait, would both the Canadain crawlers and the European crawlers be best? I live in VA
As for the home gardner/composter, would the Europen crawlers work there too or should I go with the workhorse?
Is it hard to break into the bait market? Is there a competative advantage to a small grower versuses large growers? Unrefrigerated verses refrigeration?
So many questions... I know many of you have been helping out, thank you. I hope a few more questions won'thurt.
Also, I see a lot of info on taking care of the worms but not as much as the business side - marketing and promotions.
Anyone with insight on those topics.
Thanks in advance.
