Of course, you sell them for cheaper as well, but if you were planning on jumping into the fray there is no denying it will be cheaper to start now than in financially healthier times. Still, no reason to go in if you weren't planning on it (or in desperate need due to layoffs).<BR/><BR/>I think a critical element missing from this list is to GO DIGITAL. Don't pay for a brick and mortar store when you can hit up the online market. You widen your potential customer base from the get go, the money saved on overhead can go into advertising (which by the way would still cost less than owning/renting brick and mortar space, with the added benefit that you have money left over and you'll probably be the top sponsored link of google for that kind of cash). Plus, then you really do not need to do anything but go solo, considering without a storefront you probably won't need many (if any) employees.ElwoodJDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05047461906316505377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6494085258918279624.post-83149676932542536722009-02-04T16:59:00.000-08:002009-02-04T16:59:00.000-08:00Personally, I think you'd have to be off your rock...Personally, I think you'd have to be off your rocker to start up anything right nowKaitlyn Piccolihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13687758859297868358noreply@blogger.com
