We will provide assistance in the sale of llamas, alpacas, and fibre. In addition to the general rationale for Post Sales Assistance, there are two special reasons behind the need for marketing assistance where new breeders are involved. First, when we sell breeding stock to new breeders, we recognize that we are also selling a business. In the sale of other kinds of businesses, the vendor often signs a restrictive covenant preventing them from competing with the purchaser for some length of time, so as to allow the purchaser to get established. In a breeding business this is not done, and this creates an unfair advantage for the vendor, in that they probably have a larger herd and more experience. Second, while there are many advantages to small herds (such as extra attention to animals), one of their disadvantages is that their marketing strength is lower than larger herds. This disadvantage is particularly strong if you have only a few lamas, which is the case for most new breeders. The marketing assistance we provide will simultaneously help to equalize the competitive environment between vendor and purchaser and remove the marketing disadvantage of smaller herds.

The marketing assistance we provide is in the following forms.

1. We will list llamas and alpacas for sale on this web site, at rates set from time to time. In listing animals on our site, people can receive the marketing benefit associated with the creation and promotion of this site, without the considerable expense that we assume. As more and more animals are listed and sold through our site, our financial ability to expand the promotion of this site will grow, to every participant's benefit.

2. Through our division "Speechless Friends" we sell garments and yarn made from the fibre. As this business grows, our own herd will not be able to meet the demand. At that point, we will purchase fibre, at rates set from time to time.
