Taxi Driver Online

justt recentlyy bout partners in to a little ph firm in a little village population of around 2000 and also there's other villages near by so more customers they have 4 cars at the moment 2day 2night I was just wondering on any advise on how an what I can do to boost this firm an make is successful at now some days are very quiet an some busy but the work isn't much but the reason I bought into is as good offer and I think it will be successful if time was given to it they have 2cars and 2minibuses I have now decided to in few months time I will put in a executive mercedes for long airport runs so just looking for information on what to do I have now put my hackney on the market an wish to sell but now all my consentrations are in this new firm.

If customers are using other firms, then find out why.

If the customer base isn't there, then you need to make one.

What Market Research have you done? In other words.

Have you tried to find out how much business there is out there and who is currently filling it.

How many people actually go to the Airport, by other means, and would they be prepared to pay for a Taxi, should there be one available?

How many people use the Bus into town and would they be prepared to pay for a Taxi, should there be one available?

How will you tell people of your amazing new service and will it generate sufficient extra business to pay for the cost of telling them.

And Mostly ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Why do the present Crew really need a new Partner if their current Vehicle Fleet is underused?

A bloke did a similar thing in Dorset some years ago, he bought a 30k TX so the 25 other people in his village had a cab service, I don't think it lasted long, as you have 2000 folks but also have rivals I don't see you going anywhere fast, in fact I think someone has mugged you off tbh.

Anyway top marks for trying to better yourself and I hope I'm wrong and you get a living from it, but sheer lack of numbers say it's going to be uphill for you both to get the phone to ring and to increase the car count, i just can't see where expansion is going to come from with a 2000 strong potential customer base, be very careful before you go laying out money on white elephants.

Personally I would have done my homework before I bought in.... but then someone wanting me to buy in would probably have told me the firm was not making money...

my brother is partners iswell in this firm and the other partners are good close mates the guy who I bought off bought a hackney bout a year ago and now wanted to drive that as he lost his driver
But at the moment here were making ok money but I'm sure we can do better
I only payed a little ova 4k for it including a 04 passat so worst cast sinario the firm don't work il sell the partnership back to another partner and keep the car

From my own personal experience... I have always found.... that partnerships are the only ships that don't sail.... but I wish you well.. good luck..

Do a leaflet drop of the local area with A5 leaflets outlining your prices and phone number. Give it a few weeks then you'll be able to guage what work is coming in.
