Re: garden.com/ search engines
Hello John,
I don't know what you have in mind for your business, but I am not interested
in getting any larger than I am at the present. If I grow to the next step it
means employees. Also this is supposed to be fun as well as profit making venture.
Notice the fun is first in that last sentence.
I set limits to volume and traffic from the beginning so that each customer
would have the time to see the garden, individual plants and talk. Just like I
wanted when I would visit a nursery... but seldom found. I truly am not interested
in everyone, including their grandmother, finding me. Thus web search engines and
my advertising on them does not carry the weight it may with some other nurseries.
There is nothing wrong with being small. It is how you serve.. no matter the size
that counts. If dollars are your only goal you will probably never make it as a
business.
