S j davidson Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 I'm from fraserburgh aberdeenshire lookin to set up a shop. I'm trying to get an idea of how much people in the area would like a shop, and where to set up. And if that fails, maybe get a team going. Any feedback would be appreciated.

But im literally an 1:30 Mins away from abredeen city lol Where are you from? And where would you prefer the shop to be? I'm thinking anywhere between ellon and elgin. You got a rough idea how much people you have up there who would want a shop? I'm pretty new to everything, so i'll be askin for input when i need it. Unfortunatly, i'm not going ahead until i know it's worth it. Thanks for your input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters TPI Posted December 3, 2011 Supporters Share Posted December 3, 2011 I live in Fochabers i would like Elgin, Fochabers, Lossiemouth or Mosstodloch i can help out if you want it and when i see my brother i'll ask him i know their are 13 people who play already in Elgin but really your gonna need to scout about for locations to setup shop (Close to a school will get the kids through the door and them begging mummy and daddy for a rifle) i can also tell you that their are nearly 14 others who are interested in the sport. And as i said i can help i got a foundation in business management and i did a year in media studies which will help if you want advertiseing idea's and a couple guys on here can im sure knock a couple graphics up for you.

At sounds good. But, i'll have to be really sure it's worth it. Because i'll be selling my scaffolding company to fund this. So i will have wait and what other feedback i get. But that information is very much apreciated. And i will keep you up to date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nickona Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 what i would do is talk to the local sites and maybe they might like someone to join up so there is a site shop if you get what i mean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AF-UK Founding Member Deva Posted December 5, 2011 AF-UK Founding Member Share Posted December 5, 2011 It's quite a niche market, so unless you are well placed to be fairly close to airsofters all around you, then you might struggle against online competition. If you can match, or preferably beat online prices and prove yourself to have good customer service (ability to fix peoples problems, get hold of spares etc.) then you could manage I'd of thought.

That's what i'm trying to find out just now, is where the best place would be. I'd be willing to travel an hour in any direction. So anywhere between aberdeen and elgin. But only if it's goung to be worth it. But the problem is finding anyone at all just now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporters TPI Posted December 7, 2011 Supporters Share Posted December 7, 2011 Yea it doe's mean i won't have to do all that Faffing around for opening a shop. I'm hoping somewhere near or around Elgin basically within walking distance of somewhere that sells hot food and preferably close to one of the high school's but its hard as property prices seemed to have endured in this pocket of moray...
