Back To Bloging

It's been a while since we used a Blog to pass on A.F.F.S. information but the time seems right to me again. It's easy enough to do plus a lot of you prefer this format.  We will give it a go again and see how it works out. Just remember to check our websites for more detailed info if that is what you prefer. http://www.americanflyfishingschools.com  Our other 2 sites cruiseshipfishingtrips.com is under a remake and will be "handled" by HIBU the well known GOOGLE website builder partners for us on a test basis to try and keep us more up to date with social media content. We will see how much biz they really can generate for us as apposed to what they claim they can.  I'm a skeptic about it,  "but nothing ventured, nothing gained" is a truism.  Considering how many varied and original programs (most of which have been well received by the fly fishing public)  that we have launched over the years. We should be making more money than Orvis and Bass Pro combined in fly fishing product and services sales.  We certainly are NOT and our total revenues don't even add up to 1 of their worst locations.  I know it has a lot to do with a lack of operating $ in our "treasury".  That ingredient always makes growth easier to accomplish.  Maybe with some help in marketing our many good,  unique products from our business partners by utilizing the right team of online marketers, we can steer the ship with a well designed online store to greater sales and a more profitable position.  Our Chicago team @ FLY SQUARED MEDIA of online magazine pros,  have already demonstrated their excellent capabilities in assembling and producing our in house magazine WINGS & WATERS.  Check it out if you have not already done so @ http://flysquaredmedia.com/AFFS/Summer2015.html   I am convinced this area of the business is in good hands. We are busy putting together the next edition for release this Spring. If you have a feature article, photograph, video, short story or some thing else that relates to our sport that you would like to see published,  please send it to me ASAP.  We are looking for more good content to add to the next editions.  We are currently involved in negotiations with our very limited resources to open our first retail store locations in both Lee County Florida and the New York Catskill Mountains since the closing of our original New Jersey fly shop in 2001.  So we continue moving forward and we will see what 2016 brings in the way of continued growth for A. F. F. S. This Blog might help us get there..
