So, I recently found out my friend's uncle owns one of the largest chess e-commerce stores in the world. In fact, if you search "chess sets" in Google, his site comes up first.
My friend tells me they make anywhere from 40k-60k in any given week, so I sent his uncle an e-mail and set up a lunch meeting.
Problem is, I'm not quite sure what I should be asking him. I've wanted to set up an e-commerce store in the past, and now looks like a great time to get some awesome information. I know a few topics I could bring up (marketing/seo, how he gets his supply from china, basics of setting up an e-commerce store), but it feels like I could get a lot more out of this meeting if I had some more targeted questions to ask.
So for those of you who run e-commerce stores, if you had the opportunity to ask a six-figure-per-month store owner a few pointed questions, what would you ask?
Appreciate it, and if there's any interest at all, I'd be more than happy to post the answers to any of these questions after the meeting's over. Thanks!
