START UP A MOBILE CATERING BUSINESS
STEP4. MARKETING - ADVERTISING
Many have suddenly found that the event
organisers are looking for change, improvements in quality and better hygiene to
attract more visitors to their events. Consequently due to their reluctance to
adapt have found their annual pitches being offered to other mobile caterers as
event organisers can now easily pick and choose who they have at their events.
We at villagefetes through our
countyfetes site are proud to have
pioneered the introduction of a better system for mobile caterers and all event
related businesses trying to get into events. Through our
countyfetes
website we help literally thousands of event and function organisers every month
to find what they require for their events and functions.
The system is simple, if you want the work you
advertise to the correct audience, no different than the local plumber placing
an advert in the local telephone directory, you never hear of a plumber ringing
you up asking whether you've got a leaky pipe that needs fixing. The same
applies to your mobile catering business, you know where to look and find a
plumber whereas an event organiser knows what publications or
websites to find attractions for his
or hers event.
Time to blow our own trumpet,
countyfetes works, its cheap to
advertise and thousands
of event organisers use it monthly. For the price of a family meal out you can
tell every UK event organiser about your mobile catering business.

If countyfetes had been there when we started mobile catering
back in the late 1980s I very much doubt that I'd be writing these articles now.
Our biggest obstacle was trying to get into events, the winter's were very long
and the event season very short. For the first couple of years we really
struggled to keep our head above water. Seeing what comes through our
countyfetes email service every day of the week, we often comment we could have
done with events like that when we started. Its hard enough starting your own
business and you probably think you know best, but don't ignore the advice of
those who have already done it, you will need every bit of help available. Chris villagefetes.co.uk
