Well, you are connected... but the only opinion that matters as ro whether an
idea is vioble is the customers who you'd expect to buy the product. Tell us
what they say...

Small Business Class

Small Business Class
Dear John Wiley Spiers,
I am writing as a past student of "How Small Business Trades Worldwide."
I was receiving the classes on line and completed the class but I lost
contact with the group. I wonder how and if I could be connected again. I think
I
have thought of a product now and would like your opinion as to if it actually
solves a problem. Although I must start a small business in my spare time, your
class encouraged me to try. Thank You for your consideration.

Business In China

retail orders even if you choose low shipping rates. For what we import we
use DHL,, UPS etc. The problem is the first kilogram is quite expensive.
Even with careful group shipping we add as much as 33% to our costs.
you are going to have to carry inventory.>>
That it is too expensive is a safe bet, but we can only know for sure when
our customers tell us so. There is a company in Minnesota doing a dynamite biz
washing the very expensive bedsheets of celebrities and big shots.
The help fedexes the sheets from LA or NY or wherever every 2 or 3 days to
Minnesota where they are washed in soap (something that is hard to find
nowadays) and airdried, then ironed and fedexed back. These folks have enough
sheets
to do this. The laundry makes a killing.
So leave it to the custoemrs to tell you it costs too much.
Whe customers do say "just too high price" they are either comparing, or
simply won't pay that. If they are comparing, then you are njot unique. If it
is just too much, then it may be because, as in the instance of tea fedexed
from china, it just ain't worth it to the customer.
