IMG_1748The initial aim of the site was to make newcomers “Streetwise” before they bought a licensed property.

We now know by the amount of people reading the content on the site that it needs to be an information tool for the industry, we are working in conjunction with the BII and have agreed to have links between both sites to achieve this. They have access to certain information through their sponsors and we have access to more commercial information.

We would like to point out that articles are submitted, which may not be our views and we do not accept responsibility for, but we wish to display a variety of opinions from the industry, we would also like to stress that we try to avoid at all times, anything that is obviously untrue, litigious or detrimental or naming companies and individuals that may cause them stress if the information is not correct. Should we do so please contact us immediately to rectify the error.

We are looking for every business involved in the industry to write editorials on their specialist services, not a commercial, but information that one needs to know to get the full benefit from a product or service.

BII qualifications cover a large section of the information needed, but the specialist knowledge of every service or supplier is vital to the success of a licensee and we would like to try and achieve this with everyone’s assistance.

If you know of any supplier who would like to write an editorial and would like an advert or page for their product we will be pleased to talk to them.

Much to our total amazement, with the wonders of Google Analytics, we are now being viewed consistently in 27 countries across the world, a large number of our foreign viewers are in North America, our aims were far more modest at the outset, just to help everyone that wanted to buy a pub or enter the UK Pub Industry, which we are achieving from our emails.  We now have thousands of pages read every month in depth, by the average time spent on them, which is terrific.

The aim of the site has always been to inform would be licensees and people in the industry of anything that may be of benefit to them and to make them question issues that need to be questioned and there are many.

I am in discussions with the BII to make the Buying a Pub and Licensed Property Books available to everyone taking a BII qualification with the long term aim of the BII making  everyone entering and in the industry better informed beyond just qualifications. They will have a direct link from the BII Web Site to our site to read the books and other subjects.

Then same agreement has been provided for CPL the Training Company.

The books are constantly being read in depth by people thinking of entering the industry, with many other topics and represent excellent long term advertising space, if you feel it suits your particular company, product or service.

This represents a new aspect for those of us involved in the site and we are on a learning curve, since the site has always been a “Labour of Love” rather than commercial viability.

I would like to have a relatively low cost advertising for small companies with specialist services, like trainers, small brewers etc, large companies should they wish to advertise would be a trifle more commercial.

Click on the advert for details, certain advertising spaces rotate and it is essential to submit the correct size to achieve this.

What we would like from all specialist companies is editorial on their subject, not a commercial, ie Insurance the sort of cover that you actually need, the hidden proviso’s that anyone new to the industry would not pick up or in fact someone who has been in the industry for years, but has blindly accepted a brokers word and not read the small print.

If you have a subject that you feel is not in the Guide to buying a Pub book we will insert a page with an advert at the bottom of the editorial. Apart from a couple of subjects we want no more than three or four specialist advertisers on a page where possible.

If you have only one advertiser, people will look elsewhere if you have a maximum of three they have a competitive choice.

Apart from the books which are read extensively by newcomers, we are putting separate pages on the site ie Pub Insurance Tips with editorial and similar adverts to the book for the long term licensees information, we have discovered that by using the term Tips that they get read extensively like the books.

Any Pub Co breaching the BII Codes of Practice could be even more commercial charged should they wish to advertise.

If you can honestly say that you have not breached the BII Codes of Practice as a Pub owning company we will be delighted to discuss advertising with you.

However if your company has breached the BII Codes of Practice any surcharge will be donated to a charity or good cause of our choice. 

We are linking with several Pub Web Sites because they would like out editorial and information, the more we get out the more knowlegeable the reader.

  2. Many thanks for your comment Terry as always.
    Sadly the subtlety of the BII Codes of Practice will be wasted.
    But it would be terrific if some companies did take notice and took up my offer.

  3. I always felt the strength of this site was it’s independence. The BII has been much criticised for the Accreditation process, and now the adjudication system. Are they therefore a good ‘bed partner’.
