Typical number of Home births 14,000
Typical number of home water births 140
So they have a target market of about a 140 people.
How many are likely to turn up at that exhibition perhaps 1 or 2 if they are lucky
It was just stupid.”

With all due respect, not as stupid as your assumptions.
The target market actually consists of all the women/couples who have home births (as they will be thinking about the option of water births) plus a considerable amount of those who end up having hospitable births (as they will be thinking about the option of home births).
With a little bit of research, a decent selling technique and some James-like enthusiasm the birth pools could be sold to people who have never even previously thought about a home birth.
The true target market therefore is more than 700,000 - as it will also include many women who are still at the planning stage but won't be giving birth during the next 12 months.
You're fired!

Anyone betting on a Kate Howard Lorraine win - just think they would perform better on a shopping channel.
We shall see but I'm thinking Debra or James are for the taxi next week.
