Absolutely Gutted....Grand Designs don't want me

Or my nursery

They only "do" domestic property

So sad

Can you imagine the publicity I could have had

[JackieNo]

What a shame.

Katy we have an architect friend who had a project being considered for it.
In the end his clients decided not to do it because it would have cost them a fortune: apparently you have to keep getting your builders in at the convenience of the tv crews to re-enact bits of the building for the cameras
You get no financial help from the programme so it ends up being very expensive for the people featured.

you get no financial help from the programme???


feck'em

[Katymac]

Well maybe that's good then

However I am worrying about advertising the nursery when it opens

[GameGirly]

Their loss, Katy. How's it all going anyway?

[Kathyis6incheshigh]

We will think of some good ways to publicise it for you MN is always full of good ideas.

[Katymac]

Well I have the architects first drafts - but I have a few concerns

I am waiting to see if I can make them public - & if I can they will go on my profile (& on my blog)

I'm not very good at publicity & I am fsihing for a business angel atm and they want my publicity ideas

I haven't got any so I am really struggling

[Kathyis6incheshigh]

Start a thread!

I don't know anything at all about publicity or marketing but I am thinking targeting big local employers might be a way to go? Could you leaflet them?

And maybe ask people on MN how they chose a nursery and see if that gives you some ideas?

(My dd is at dh's workplace nursery so that doesn't help much unfortunately!)

[Katymac]

Good Idea - I have
