Ok so I need a little bit of Help,
Trying to help my dads company with getting more buisness and more clientele.
Do any of you know any companys or web sites that list up and coming comercial buildings, or new clubs and pubs opening?
Ive tried the institute of Builders, but I dont think its helping.
help appreciated.

what are you going to sell on the ecommerce side? As would of thought most of the stuff is specialist which wouldnt really need a full ecommerce store.

We are going to sell the products to anybody now, and offer an install service. Instead of previously just dealing with large companys.

Yeah, make sure the site is easy to use as shite otherwise.
Id think of advertising in trade magazines (restaurant and bar ones) to pick up larger trade business, aswell as home entertainment magazines for the public side of things.
Im also guesisng you'd be aiming at higher end of the market so if you have any sort of snobby magazine around your area (we have Lancashire and Cheshire life down here) then an advert in there would go down well (mainly concentrating on the full systems rather than buying individual components)
Getting in with local builders (aswell as some bigger city ones) would be good as most of the higher end houses and apartments are coming with some sort of systems fitted as standard.

Yeah, its trying to find these things. As I dont know much about bar and restaurant mags. I guess I can look in the Borders book shop magazine bitty. He works down south a lot, Mostly Leeds because of Goals. And London also so anything down your way would be great !
I think I have a lot of work ahead of me lol

A builder I used to do work for used to load their appartments with trick electrical systems, 50" TV's etc the extras lists were pages long - Applecross Homes.
I doubt the bulk builders would be interested.

Yeah its only the higher end stuff, the majority of the newer city centre apartments round me tend to have at the least all the electrical stuff done and offer the buyers different packages of systems they can have.

Very few pubs like wetherspoons etc are new purpose build, most occupy likes of old libraries(Glasgow) & cinemas(Falkirk) so not really a builder you need to contact.
