    Business Scenario - your view

    as u well know ive started my own businesss.

    for the business to be successful, i need to acquire 12 customers/clients per week for 18 weeks.

    I have already taken 1 booking and 4 enquiries for potential bookings for dedicated weeks.

    i have spent 1,000 GBP on advertising and promotion across different channels, online, print, etc...

    how does the future look?

                Not much to go on here. £1k on advertising is nothing for most startups. Have you got your marketing mix right for your client base ?

                Any more details ? Like how much each client is worth, when the 18 weeks starts and ends, how flexible the 18 weeks are, whether you have done any below the line marketing, other overheads and capital investment, cost of sales per client, success criteria (profit expectation), upselling opportunities etc.

                  ok no overheads or outlay.

                  average worth per client 400GBP
                  12 clients per week x 18 weeks
                  estimated turnover 75k
                  profit 50%

                    It will look better if you get down the job center before the afternoon rush.
