    Struggling to find a good folding carton supplier

    Can anyone here suggest a good folding carton supplier in the US? I am working on my first project that requires a folding carton (tuck top, auto bottom) and am struggling to find what appears to be a good, reliable supplier. Looking to place an order of about 2000 boxes.

    Increasing Price to slow down sales and avoid running out of inventory?

    I guess this is a good problem to have, but the supplement formula I created is selling faster than anticipated. At my current daily average I have about 35-40 days of stock left to sell. Unfortunately my next shipment of bottles will not be here for 60 days at the earliest. This is my first...

    I launched a supplement brand on Amazon a couple of months ago and have started to see people ordering their second bottle. I am wondering if I should send them an email thanking them for their second purchase and asking politely if they would mind posting a brief review of the supplement. I...

    For those of you with 1-800 numbers on your site, how often do you get calls?

    FTE 
    I am launching a site in a couple of weeks. It is basically a glorified landing page for a custom formulation supplement I am launching.

    TAXES | REGS 
    Hey guys, tax time is coming up and I could use a little bit of advice. I am planning to speak to an accountant but that is easier said than done this time of year. I had very little income last year as I was in the process of starting what has essentially been a failure of an app business...
