    3PL Recommendations in the US

    Seems like you're looking more for a Fulfillment company vs a 3PL. Generally, 3PL's are dealing with domestic and international freight, imports, exports, customs compliance, etc. There is a difference and from the volume you are speaking of, down the line as you grow a true 3PL might be able to...

    How Many of You are Building For Acquisitions or Thinking of Selling Your Businesses?

    Yeah, I figure many people would, but for smaller revenue producing companies, ~$500k in revenue, to cut down on fees and time to closing the deals, they might look elsewhere. I know there are several companies that specialize in that, but they seem to be focused on primarily software businesses...

    How Many of You are Building For Acquisitions or Thinking of Selling Your Businesses?

    As the title states, how many of you are trying to build a company to simply be acquired by a larger one and why? Second, how many of you have built successful businesses and are now looking to exit and retire and why? Also, post acquisition or sale, are you planning on building something else...

    New Business A Different Approach To Personal Storage

    Hey johnp, Thanks for the input! I appreciate it! It's not that bad in terms of capital involvement. Most of the guys that are currently doing it rent warehouse space near major shipping ports, which is actually surprisingly inexpensive. Or the other option is to rent your own storage unit...

    New Business A Different Approach To Personal Storage

    Looks like Boxbee is just a directory, now. I actually modeled this after some of the storage companies they have listed. I'll be differentiating in by focusing on donating a certain percentage of my profits to a new charity every month. I also plan on getting to a point where I can guarantee...

    New Business A Different Approach To Personal Storage

    Hey, thanks Payden! They have about a 27 gallon capacity. So, you can store a decent amount in them. I would say about 3 or 4 boxes have the potential to store an entire season's worth of clothes, shoes, etc., for one person. Sorry for the delay in replying to you! Thanks for the ideas! I was...

I've been busy working in the import/export sector and now I am thinking about getting into the storage business. I was looking for a little input on the idea... Essentially, it's personal on...

    Who's here from the NYC/NJ area?

    Oh, hey guys! I haven't checked this thread regularly. Well, if you guys are interested, I go to a meetup in NYC for local entrepreneurs to hang out, cowork, or just discuss business. All of them are pretty interesting individuals and always fun to chat with. If you're interested here's the...

    Who's here from the NYC/NJ area?

    I'm not sure if this forum is the right place for this question but, I thought I would ask anyway. How many of you are from the NYC/NJ area on here and how many of you are presently working on your own business? Also, how many of you are one-man or woman ops or small teams? Thanks for any...

    13 year old sees an opportunity in the hot sauce market

    I thought about doing that with a friend of mine but, we never sat down to really hash it out and execute it. As everyone says, ideas are nothing its all about taking action. Isn't the hot sauce market a little saturated though, or any condiment sector really? Either way, good for him. He's...

    Ask me anything about eCommerce (2012)

    GOLD! 
    Let's say I wanted to start a furniture drop-shipping store, obviously, not just generic furniture but a specific niche. How would I go about finding suppliers and would you recommend US suppliers for the furniture so it can be shipped out and delivered quickly? This way, although more...

    So, here's the idea: Clothing Rental for men. Thoughts?

    IDEA 
    Sure, that'd be great! I'm working on the FB page right now. I suppose if any one else would be interested in doing the same to garner some exposure for everyone, that'd be pretty nice as well. http://www.facebook.com/WhatATie Edit: Facebook page if anyone is interested. Still being worked on....

    So, here's the idea: Clothing Rental for men. Thoughts?

    IDEA 
    Yeah, I live near the D.C. and NYC area where a tie is essentially your everyday staple. So, that's part of the reason I got into this sector in the first place. I know the market is here and I know plenty of people who routinely buy ties, from moderately priced($50+), to over $200 on a very...

    So, here's the idea: Clothing Rental for men. Thoughts?

    IDEA 
    Hey Mike, Thanks very much for the suggestion. Clothing would be tough but there are plenty of companies out there who do it. I should probably add that the ties are all professionally cleaned when they come back to us. Thanks again!

    So, here's the idea: Clothing Rental for men. Thoughts?

    IDEA 
    Hmm, thanks very much for the suggestions, RPagel. I had thought about doing something along those lines. I wondered how it would be monetized though? I guess it would merely be for the value add. If I were to go that route, I'd have to redesign the site abit, divide into sections and...

    So, here's the idea: Clothing Rental for men. Thoughts?

    IDEA 
    Thanks for your comment, damien. Part of the plan of the business is to expand it into other areas of the clothes. More accessories, suits, shirts, etc etc. It would be similar to 99dresses which is a similar concept. To keep people honest within your idea, I think a simple matter of keeping...

    So, here's the idea: Clothing Rental for men. Thoughts?

    IDEA 
    Hey thanks very much, Jill. Of course the ties are very delicate but, I also know that many of these ties may be out of style in the next few years. It's just the nature of fashion, so I will have to be replacing them with some degree of frequency anyway. All of that is factored into my...
