    Opinions on a business name

    Any tips for building an Instagram following in a profitable way?

    MARKETING SOCIAL MEDIA 
    Instagress is worth the small fee they charge. I ended up buying a year and I have it running in the background liking and commenting. I used to use it to follow as well but if you're building a brand, it's not the best idea to follow 1000s or even 100s of accounts. You can be highly...

    Interesting. What type of fabric were you importing...something exotic? We've imported both triple fabric blends, and completed products composed of multiple fabrics (actually all of our products) from China without issue.

    Barriers, yes...there are many. Regulations, not so much. Other than duties and a few labeling requirements, they aren't a big deal.

But the issue is not so much their ability to design (most of them can do that), it's their ability to generate a pro tech-pack that includes everything a factory needs to produce prototypes. This is key as otherwise, you will be going back and...

    Maybe if you're producing tee-shirts. No, you don't want to "produce a prototype" first. You want to find a highly reputable apparel designer that can take your vision and turn it into tangible requirements and technical designs (tech pack). Once you have that, you can then approach...
