Clavarium Limited

clavarium - from the Latin meaning the allowance paid to a Roman soldier for the nails in his shoes

Clavarium Limited provides high quality consultancy based on practical eCommerce experience.

Consultants who walk the talk?

After many years teaching others to implement eCommerce, and advising small businesses on what they should do, we thought it was about time we got out there in the real world to see what was happening.

We've had to brush up on some old skills - negotiating with suppliers, writing code - and learn some new ones - stock purchase, VAT accounting, for example - and remember those good words about planning!

Oh really ...

The directors of Clavarium Limited have had some really great ideas over the years - guess what? We've always bee too busy to do anything with them. Oh we've come close but there's always been just one more thing to do.

We now run Archery Trousers. Archery was just one of those things - we needed to take up a sport for exercise and that was it. The kit stays out of the office, unless we go shooting after work, which we do. The idea for the web site grew out of the need to find green trousers for competition (necessary according to the GNAS rule book). That was it, the perfect eCommerce opportunity: a widespread, focussed market with very specific needs. And who better to introduce it than the Distance Demon and Worm Stabber.

Distance Demon and Worm Stabber

They started out as jokes - a young lady of our acquaintance wanted to shoot 90m and 100 yards and was told that these were men's distances - someone called her a distance demon and we just had to invent the character.

Worm stabbing is a well-known archery pursuit, for those of us still trying to keep up with the ever changing sight marks and, of course, longbow archers. Sorry, chaps, it had to be said. www.archerytrousers.co.uk
