All the best and well done for not procrastinating!
Niall - yeah it was vague at first and they did indeed require the materials and services but only because it was a charity project. They must have found us both on Google but I didn't spend a penny until I met with the Production Assistant and spoke to Domoney. They definitely lured me in with the false initial measurements but the spin-off potential was worth it - plus the experience of some TV work and working with a relatively big name in gardening!
You should have got involved Niall and I think you've missed a trick - I've already had 2 designs commissioned from it and 3 smaller projects agreed upon later this month so a crackin start to 2009 plus all the media I can post on my website from it to capture future enquiries! Definitely a good decision to go ahead methinks.
Good luck, sure it will be a blast!
My own personal experience with TV production companies has been that they always want something for nothing. I have had several phone calls about the Topiary hire side of my business. They are not even prepared to pay for the delivery and the most one of them offered is a mention on the production company (not even the shows) website for one month.
In my and many other similar business opinion they are simply not worth the expenditure. I think its cheeky to expect a small business to supply them with free products and services when I am sure they fully expect to get paid for their part in it.
