Hi Mark,

Whilst I'm in touch I would like to say how impressed I am with everything your site offers in terms of help and advice. The newsletters and blogs are proving very useful because as a novice there is so much to learn and I have enormous respect for the experienced players in this industry. I've only just bought my first castle (a basic action hero 12 x 12) and can't wait to develop the business! My website is up and running and I had my first enquiry today. Unfortunately they were'nt looking for an action hero so I referred them to another provider who had more to offer (something I learnt from your advice pages). With very kind regards

Mark, Thank you for sending all the information over, I was up to 1am this morning with all sorts of ideas going through my head. I am convinced that some of the ideas will lead to a marked increase in business. I wondered if you could advise how I can add a PayPal button to my website. I have added my company email to my PayPal account, but not sure how to go from there? Thank you in advance for the additional help. Dani Melvin

Mark,

Thanks for the very prompt response and comprehensive information. We have just launched the business last week so all the information will prove very useful.

The BIHA is a fantastic resource for anyone in the business.

Hi Mark, Hope all is well at BIHA, just wanted to let you know your marketing clearly works as I have been getting a number of enquiries via your BIHA website for Hires..... Bad news is that I have sold all my equipment and no longer operate. Would it be possible to remove my details as this should allow customers to go to one of your other subscribers who are still operating.

Thank you.
