This can also be a down fall.. People that only move the less expensive stuff many times have to because they haven't done any form or marketing at all..I'm not going to spend 1500.00 on a snake from some dude that no one for 500 miles has heard of, cause all he's ever been able to sell is normals wholesale..
Marketing and customer relations are the two biggest things that I'd say 85% of the small-just getting started breeders fall victim to. Either they have no clue how to market themselves and their animals or they forget that they are engaging in a business transaction and it shows.
How many people have bought animals and had the breeder call them or email to check up on their purchase?
