Helloooow

I am a broke-a$$ student, just finished my engineering degree (I hated it) and instead of looking for an engineering job I want to create a business. The business is about producing and selling high quality dog treats. The production works but I am having trouble reaching interested customers. I tried reaching out in Dog-Owner Facebook groups unsuccessfully. Phone-advertising is prohibited in Germany. I even thought about going into the city and talking to people with dogs.

It would be easier with budget, then I would just put an ad in a local magazine for dog owners. Or put an ad online.

What would you do in my place? Find an engineering job (which I would hate) just to have cash?
