Reasons for exporting bird feeders to France? (grade 12 business class project)?
by admin
Filed under Backyard Bird Questions and Answers
I need REASONS. Not SARCASM. Not SNIDE REMARKS. Here’s what I have so far:
> France has plenty of backyard birds.
> The majority of our current customers fall into the age range that is most populous in France (15-64 years: 65.3%)
> Canada is a French-speaking country (23.2%)
I’m drawing a blank………help!
I’m surprised, hurricane. Yours is the first good answer I’ve gotten. I guess the selling point is that they are handcrafted and can be made to the specifications of the customer, or mass-produced (doesn’t matter)

Yes, we do have lovely songbirds here but bird feeders are readily available already so you need to think of some sort of characteristic that your bird feeder has that the ones that we have do not have. You need a selling point.
Your selling point should not be protection against squirrels because we don’t have the American gray squirrel. The little red ones that we have don’t live near people, they are very shy and do not attack bird feeders.
Maybe they are easier to load, or hold more seeds without spoilage or maybe your feeder has a design that prevents wastage of seed falling to the ground. I haven’t seen your feeder so I don’t know how to sell it.
You can see the kind of feeders that we use on the web site of the LPO (League pour la Protection des Oiseaux).
If you can send me a picture of your feeder, maybe I can think of some more ideas.
Oh, yes, Thank you, Mr. Curious for your helpful comments.
I’ve read about this. The French are so used to having both arms in the air that it will give them something worth while to be doing.
