TV publicity for new salon!

[suey]

is anyone opening a salon soon and wants some major publicity on tv?

I was contacted by Channel 4 who are currently producing a new series of 'risking it all' This is what they are after:-

We are interested in finding people who along with one or more business
partner are on the cusp of starting a new small business, we will be
following them through their set up months and then the first year of
trading.

So if anyone is interested please e mail me and i will give you more details!

Come on folks, there must be someone out there willing to let us watch them on the telly?!!!!

Hi Suey - Risking it All has already featured 2 women who sold everything (well one of them did) to open up Green St Salon in Bath; Sam and I went to the launch as they chose CND for nails! Are they wanting the same thing again??

I filled in the form on their website already so guessing they won't want my details twice??
That said, I'm not opening a huge business anyway, just looking at home salon and mobile, so don't think I'm interesting enough
Presumably you don't get paid to be on it....?

They asked me if i knew of anyone that i supplied to that was just starting out. I actually didn't see the first series, but apparently it was quite popular with 3 million viewers, not a bad bit of advertising! I would assume by the title, they would want someone actually having the overheads of a salon ie risking it all, sorry Bimbogeri! They follow you for a few months, and you get the benefit of financial and practical advice.

Nails by Nicola and i were going to pretend we had just started with the salon, but decided the tv makes it seem you are quite a few pounds heavier than you actually are, so we decided against it!

They are actually after something on the beauty/nails side, so it may be similar to the last series Samantha. I can't see it creating much interest for my web site, but hey, if it helps a geek, and is good for the nails business then i am all for it.

So come on don't be shy...anyone out there???

I dont know if we would count, we have allready started but are struggling, we do nails, tanning and lingerie. BUT I have bloody risked a lot and have my house on the line too!
