Where CAN I advertise???

[AcornEmma Robertson (Vet Nurse)<br>Acorn Kennels<br>E-mail:[email protected]]

I know advertising is not allowed on the LF forum, and this post is not intended as any form of advertising but

Can anyone enlighten me as to why the adverts I put up on the notice board at my local Leclercs in Saint Hilaire du Harcouet keep disappearing??? Ive asked repeatedly at the help desk if it would be okay to put my notices up and have been told that its fine, but within a few days of putting them up, somebody has taken them down. Since the staff dont have a problem with the notices I can only assume that it must be a member of public, but why? My kennels have the full backing of another popular kennel-owner in nearby Husson so I doubt very much that he would resort to such petty behaviour. If anyone has any ideas I would be pleased to hear them! Also, can anyone suggest where I CAN advertise without offending anyone or breaching codes of conduct etc????

Finally, if the person who keeps taking my notices down happens to read this, please have some compassion. Im just trying to scratch out a living so that my little boy can see his Daddy every day instead of just at weekends. At the moment my partner has to work abroad during the week, and we were hoping that this venture might enable us to live as a familytogether.

Hope someone can help!

Emma, this is just an idea, but could it be nothing more sinister than someone who is interested in your services but can't be bothered to find pen and paper and therefore takes your card away with them?

If so, you could get around it by pinning several together so that one can be taken (or, alternatively, a tear-off portion with the contact telephone number written on it).

Maybe worth a try anyway!

If you're talking about Clive then I can ASSURE you it's not him. Last time we took our cat to him he was recommending you as someone we could use if they were ever full!!

It's probably just a supermarket policy.  I did the rounds with our business cards for our ornemental poultry locally, and found that they disappeared from all the supermarkets within the week, no matter how often I put them up.

Try the vets - our card is still up there (if a little ropey looking now), 18 months on.  And of course, all the usual like OuestFrance.  Many of the other French forums such as Total France, AngloInfo etc carry adverts (sorry Living France), for free.
