1. Why as ferret breeders do you want to advertise baby ferrets for sale instead of ferret for sale? It is one of those "marketing pitches," that uses NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) if we were to break it down "baby ferrets for sale" it has ferret for sale already in it but when you add baby to anything you get a warm and fuzzy feeling. People will also see "baby ferrets for sale" and get the image of brand new, where as with "ferret for sale" you will actually think of it as someone saying "used car."
2. As serious ferret breeders you might want to import some ferrets from Europe, European bloodlines are more resilient to adrenal disease as well as a few others. Adrenal disease isn't as common in European bloodlines so if you were to incorporate the bloodlines to help breed a stronger healthier ferret. What a sales pitch European baby ferrets for sale.
3. If breeders have a ferret for sale, I think I would hype up the fact that this is a family raised ferret. Just knowing a ferret for sale is a family raised ferret and when I say family raised I mean "the ferret Family" and your family which makes me feel better and I see it as a plus. Because most pet stores get their ferrets at the 7-8 week mark they get no more family interaction whether it be from the hob, jill or you.
4. Another good idea for ferret breeders is set up a web page let people know about you. Email shelters, tweet on twitter, join a ferret facebook group, myspace groups and the list goes on. It may take a day to registering to the sites, then once a week take 15 minutes and post some info. Your web page can be something small 3-4 pages just so that people will find you. You may not even have a ferret for sale on your web page; it is just info about you and how to contact you.
5. Small ferret breeders might want to specialize in a certain kind, color of ferrets and sometimes even a color pattern. If you are a small ferret breeder you could even breed for size. Emphasizing what might be hot in the ferret shows will increase the price you charge but compared to a pet store your price will probably be better for a couple reasons:
a. The rent is cheaper (low over head).
b. They are rarely spayed, neutered.
c. They are rarely de-scented.
d. The amount and QUALITY of information new owners get.
6. As a small breeder let people know you do not try to trick your ferrets by controlling lights. You will only have kits available twice a year and that is the natural ferret cycle. we don't think of our ferrets as live stock, but more of part of the family. Also let them know you never have and never will sell ferrets to labs for testing and research.
7. If you get information from several sources. You are the expert and what you say they take as gospel. Make your own handouts for new ferret owners with important info they will need. Become a member of associations; clubs and even rescues it will help get your name out as a RESPECTABLE breeder.
