[QUOTE="B R C, post: 5947948, member: 714"] You don’t do much marketing? There you go, things don’t sell themselves. How do you differentiate yourself, by quality of logs, size, type of wood, dryness, by service ie turn up when you say you will, type of delivery ie well just dump them on your nice gravel drive and scarper etc You can not compete with the cut price beer money brigade so you need to do it differently. I am just about to start doing logs in a bigger way, still as an extra to main farming mainly as I have 40ac of nice ash, beech and oak that would go to waste and maybe fortunate that I live in a very affluent area. I do appreciate that it would be very hard to make money if you have to buy in the wood. Our rule when going to clear up fallen trees etc is never ever pay for it! Oh and keep investment low don’t try and get too big as you will be racing to the bottom IMHO [/QUOTE]
