I have a new website and would love a bit of feedback as the orders are well too say the least very slow.

I can offer free postage to anyone ordering £25 or more as an incentive.

However I would rather any suggestions you may have to improve it would be very helpful.
Take a look at www.tayminnows.co.uk  and let me know.

Very nice site. I was wondering on account  of many rivers and beats banning treble hooks whether you should offer traces with doubles or singles?

Would you get more business if you also advertised to the pike and perch fraternity?  Think I'l be purchasing and pursuing the local pike perch and chub

Unlikely, I have never seen a Devon Minnow used for either species.

Have you thought of taking a "shoal" of minnows and mounting them in a frame?  I think with the banning of spinning on many beats, Minnows are just not as popular as they were 30 years ago.  However, "fishing art" seems to pick up a few sales. I sometimes get asked to frame a "shoal" of Pike flies and its about £50-£75 to sell.

Also, I wonder if daft things like minnow ear rings, minnow key rings and the likes might not catch on? I have several keyrings that are made from small rapala style lures.

Diversity is the key :)

Good luck!!
