    Posting Parcels

    I sell food hampers too, and I use RM. Easy, no strings attached, and reliable. I agree that RM will always be v competitive for anything less than 2kg

    Fish and Chips Takeaway Marketing

    It is all about local marketing, so try leaflet and ads in your local newspaper. I would consider hiring a professional marketer for your leaflets, as you will need to look professional and stimulate peoples appetites (or your leaflets will go straight to the bin).

    Marketing a new online food business

    Thanks webgeek, it is a very good idea. PRMum, I am not a big fan of PR for food. Most of the journalists and bloggers are happy to get freebies, and then forget about it easily. I sent nice chocolate boxes to three journalists, none of them answered (but I am sure they loved the chocolates...)...

    Marketing a new online food business

    Importing food

    I am in the fine food business, and I only import from the EU. There are absolutely no issues but for labeling. In any case, please contact your local health manager. He/She will be very helpful.

    how to promote my website through forums

    Forget the forums, this is probably the worse free advertising you can get. You have a lose-lose situation, i.e. either you do not spend time on the forums and ppl will quickly realize you just spam their forums (no sale, bad publicity), or you spend a lot of time, get the respect of many in the...

    Honey from Poland -label

    Honey is not an easy market, I sell some premium honeys on my website (honeys that you can find in 5* hotels in the UK), and still find it hard. 1kg is way too big, and I would be very careful with the locations. In any case, I wish you the best of luck

    Professional store design - worth it?

    I would say yes. I just set-up my new website in the gourmet food (ExcellentFoods) and after just two days, I feel that the fat fees I paid to an art designer actually pays-off. If you are in the high end of the market, you need to differenciate yourselves

    Are we witnessing the death of high street retail

    I have just set-up a fine food online business (Excellentfoods) - while I see the advantages (small costs, easy accessibility, full flexibility,...), my next step will be to open a store in London to sell our products. Indeed, I am left frustrated that nobody can sees, smells or assesses my...

    Foodstuffs import and distribution

    Importing goods from the EU is very simple: no borders, no taxes (not even VAT to claim back). Just make sure your supplier follows the EU directives and you will be fine; the main issue might be the labeling (if not in English).
