Well, I have been practicing on those blankets I picked up from my first New Blanket Repair Business Customers!

If you remember, I told you about the Barn Manager that gave me those 15 blankets to take home and work on. Well those are the ones I have been practicing on.

So while I am working on those…I figured it would be a good idea to go out and line up new blanket repair customers so I would have a back fill of customers when these blankets are done.

So I filled out those forms that Karen included in her book “How To Make Money Repairing Horse Blankets” and went around to some of the bigger barns today.  A couple were really interested but they needed to check with the owners before they gave me the blankets.

And then Karen suggests going to feed stores and seeing if they are interested in putting a sign up about Horse Blanket Repair so that I could target new blanket repair customers.

So I stopped at the three local feed stores and let them know I am in business, and gave them my cards and a flier.  And one store sounds really interested in the idea as an added service for their customers.

See the thing that Karen Krueger explains in her book, is that feed stores see the value of a customer coming in two times and having twice the chance of them buying on impulse.

So it’s a win win for both of us.  I have a chance of gaining new Blanket Repair Business Customers, and the feed store has a chance of increasing their sales.

Hot TIP:  Never let the feed store put your checks through receivables because then you will have to wait to get your check, and then it will look as if you are a contract employee for the feed store.  The cleanest way to stay in business is to be your own business.  They can collect a check for you to pick up, but it must be kept in a seperate container.

Now I’m to make more New Blanket Repair Business Customers and take a look at Karen’s Book Here.

Until next time…Horsey Gal is sewing blankets! Yay!!  I will update you on my financial progress!

Decisions…Decisions!

Well let me help you in your quest for more information.

Steel vs. Aluminum

Many horse owners have seen their horse trailers rust, and became weak and not reliable.  However, over the years horse owners have had their share of problems with an  aluminum horse trailer.

Horse owners over the years have become all to aware of the problems with trailers made of aluminum.  Broken welds, corroded floors, shearing and tearing in minor accidents and less beefy dividers. Read the rest of this entry »
