well guys i have recently lost my job (4 weeks ago) and have been lookin really hard since and no one wants to employ me so i jus recieved my last wages from my last job,

and i have decided to take a bald move and try my hand at my own business,

it will be selling greetings cards, arts materials, pencil cases etc, (arts and crafts)

but i have just bought 10,000 greetings cards for £150, i worked out even if i sold them for £0.10 each id make £1,000 (£850 profit) i play on selling them (depending on diff sizes) for £0.40 each so basicly im kinda happy at mo,

to start with im going to car boot sales every sunday, im currently speaking with a friend who has a stall at our local market and he says there is many slots availbale, im also currently building a website that will also feature custom cards, as my mum makes personalised cards. basicly i have expansions planned.

im doing this is all with my mum, dont laugh lol.

any advice on running a successful business, or any general advice.
 
lol


well done, that is a bold move, and i hope for the best.

my advice, try to advertise, anywhere and everywere u can. dosent matter if its madison square garden, or your local halfway house, get ur name out there.

another, i would have to say, watch ur money. dont spend too much on uneccsory items.


hope this helps :D

i completely agree, a business is nothing without customers, advertising = customers, for now until i have my website up, a week or so from now, as i said im jus going up boot sale for now so until i make my next move the advertising wont happen.
 
hmmm...until then, just brown nose ne potential customer u have. explain each product, work with em ne way u can. make them feel like a king, that buying some pencil cases :D

have some artwork and such, mabey from u, or a friend on display wile selling art supplies and such, makes an impact
