    Samples have arrived:I'm starting a Kitchenware business!

    EXECUTION 
    Hey Carnage! I've had this account for a long time but haven't done a lot with it. My feedback is perfect, but I only have an abysmal amount of feedback - around 8 or so. I have 10 samples to sell, that would bring it up to 18 - then I plan to sell on eBay and Amazon, until a point in which it...

    Samples have arrived:I'm starting a Kitchenware business!

    EXECUTION 
    Update time! It's been a while, because I ran into some packaging complications. I talked to my target demographic (mothers, as it's a kitchenware product) and they suggested that, with all the kitchen tools they already have, it would be a great idea to include some sort of container to put...

    Good stuff, glad to hear you've had some success and are ready to take it to the next level! What are your plans for the future?

    Finally done it

    EXECUTION 
    What has your gross profit been like over these two years? Are you still continuing the business passively, or by "winding down" do you mean selling the business / putting it on hold?

    No problem. Glad it worked out for you

    Business Name

    It's going to be difficult to get traffic to your website at first, since its not spelled exactly the same way as your product - growthcklab as opposed to Growth Hack Lab. If you can (although I assume you already tried, and it was taken, hence why yours is spelled differently) I'd go with...

    Fastlane by 18 Years Old

    EXECUTION 
    I always think it's interesting that some people on here assume that it's impossible to start a business on a shoestring budget. Especially considering his business is a digital product that will be marketed online, I think it's viable. Will he be successful? Too many factors to tell, maybe his...

    Apple Stand Empire - Importing for Resale

    HOT! SOURCING 
    Thanks for the share, @Vigilante - this is especially relevant to me, since I'm starting a e-commerce company. Luckily, I don't think I'm following a Johnny Appleseed - my product fills a gap! However, this was a great read, and I'm glad you put it up here so I could read it. And you...

    Samples have arrived:I'm starting a Kitchenware business!

    EXECUTION 
    Exactly! It's the inverse of @biophase 's recommendation to read the low-star reviews and improve on those flaws - logic would indicate that you would do the same for the high-star ratings - keep the best parts, fix the rest! Glad to hear it! Thanks for the advice. I'll be sure to ask around...

    Samples have arrived:I'm starting a Kitchenware business!

    EXECUTION 
    Thanks for the reply, @Rudynate - the intention and design of the product is to cut. Therefore, I would assume that the injury would be foreseeable (put your hand in the way of the blades used to cut, get yourself cut). In addition, I would be sure to include a safety warning on both the product...

    Samples have arrived:I'm starting a Kitchenware business!

    EXECUTION 
    Wow, advice from @Vigilante himself! It's an honor, thank you for stopping by! I tried to be as non-descriptive with my items as possible while still being able to describe my specific situation. Rest assured, I won't be sharing any more information - the last thing I need is someone to swoop...

    Samples have arrived:I'm starting a Kitchenware business!

    EXECUTION 
    After a month or so of negotiations, waiting, and biting my nails, I have 10 samples of a product (a collection of 4 items) that I'm ready to take to the internet - to sell, to try to recoup most of my initial investment (samples are expensive) and to, most importantly, confirm market demand...

    [AMA] Importing & wholesaling for resale on eBay.

    GOLD! SOURCING 
    Thanks ecom man, your advice is definitely noted! I just paid for my first sample order now, so with any luck, I'll have my samples within 5-7 days. I did a bit of homework in regards to finding a reputable Alibaba seller and how to make a secure payment (to recover it in case of fraud). I'll...

    [AMA] Importing & wholesaling for resale on eBay.

    GOLD! SOURCING 
    Thank you so much for your reply, Ecom man. Interestingly enough, as soon as I contacted suppliers and TOLD them what I was willing to pay, I heard quite a different tune. Now I'm getting quotes for TEN samples for the price of $50-$100 USD, INCLUDING shipping, whereas before I was thinking of...

    What's your Lambo? (What are you working for?)

    NOTABLE! CHAT 
    Thanks so much, man! I'm ready to start working and make it happen. Don't you worry, one of these days you can expect to be aboard a big fancy ship - and hey! Maybe we'll even check out those cliffs in Bolivia, because that's totally something I'd be down to do!

    What's your Lambo? (What are you working for?)

    NOTABLE! CHAT 
    I want to have financial freedom, and the money to travel the world for years, collecting proficiency in all different types of martial arts and languages. Yes, I'm a Batman fan. What gave it away? Also, I wouldn't mind a Ducati 848 Evo... My weirdest desire (and the only thing on my bucket...

    @Wisith @Walter Hay Thank you both so much for your replies! I'll be sure to start a progress thread once I have some samples on the ground. It's all thanks to you, gentleman. Thanks again!

    MEETUPS 
    @The-J invited me to come along, so I would love to make a trip out. I'm about an hour away from Toronto and need to see the Consulates of France and the USA for passports anyways, so I'm in the area! Count me in!
