So I am at that point in the start of every small business where one must take the next step, I have used all my networking connections, all my closest friends and family wear their shirts proudly, every shop owner I know and every friend of a friend who has a retail store has provided me with a place to sell my product and show it to the "world".
Now thank you to all of you for helping this fledgling fly, but it is time for my world to expand...but where and how and where are the funds for this expansion coming from?
Well here's the scary part...walk into a store where I don't know anyone and sell my product, over and over and over until i find more outlets to sell. Nantucket, marthas vinyard, gloucster, PEI, any and all seaport communities I can get to! Next trade shows, Ny, jersy, RI, florida, all in the hopes to get picked up by a large company, only to have to meet quick deadlines, larger orders and more expense, with less profit.
All of these options are especially tuff right now with our forever falling economy, and especially hard to leave my family for days at a time to travel and possibly make a new lead.
But in conclusion I am working on a new image (maybe two) for spring and I am planing a vacation of travel up and down and around our eastern seaboard. So I am asking all of you for any suggestions of must go to towns and shops, and I will set a date for travel after the New Year!
Thank you to every one for your support, and wish me luck! Happy Holidays and may you try something new in 2009, who knows you might just find something you really enjoy!
p.s.
please comment about styles, fits, and colors for 09 line! thanks!
