    How do you find your market?

    It's not but it's often where I start with testing an idea. So i wondered if just throwing stuff out to see what sticks is the best way. If I flip a coin enough times i suppose eventually it'll land on heads. Have read a couple a books about validating and testing the market like Ask and "will...

    Buying stock for a bridal shop

    For clothing retail businesses I've worked with there's typically about 50% profit, so minus VAT the cost price I assume would be roughly 50% of the sale price. Not all the time but the case for my particular part of retail I've worked in. Bridal could be more marked up though if look at what...

    Ideas for process-driven industry/sector to automate

    This is something I was considering doing but didn't take off (meaning I did something else). I'd considered building a relationship with some medium sized business owners and asking if I can see how they work then suggest ways I might be able to help them if I saw the opportunity come up.

    Best Platform for Online Show

    I don't know but here's what I think. Starting with the most simple platform could help you build more initial traction and then be ready to expand on that. So you could re-purpose a column into both a website and videos but focus on just thing for a while before moving onto the next one. My...

    Looking for experienced shop owners who can give some advices about opening a local shop.

    Aside from a Google search I'd ask some of the European supermarkets that wouldn't directly compete.

    Buying stock for a bridal shop

    I don't know but find the bridal trade shows seems like the logical option for me. That way you see samples of stock in person, talk to peers about getting started and network.

    How do you find your market?

    I work mostly on educated guesses and from looking at how others work. Things like market research is something I think I understand in theory even though I don't follow a formalised process. So what are people doing here that works for them?

    Recommendations Needed Please

    What is an M1 and M2 website? During my 11 years of building them never heard that jargon, so maybe I refer to what they mean as something else.

    Mouse movement

    I've had a problem with that on a laptop which is not accidentally touching it because it happens without me touching any part of it. Never got a clear fix for it so just plug in a mouse and turn the touchpad off which works okay since I basically use it like a desktop PC.

    Where to find customers?

    It would get my attention if bespoke means things like hot foil stamping, letterpress, emboss/debossing, specialty paper, die-cutting, etc. BAMF (bad ass marketers and founders) is a facebook group I follow which can come in handy for businesses owners I find.

    GDPR and my little business

    I doubt they'd come after you either way. If you do need to access those emails however you can use the reports section of PayPal to get them in an Excel file. Could be possible to import them into some email program that way

    Am I onto something?

    Sounds like a good idea to me if can make it work. Don't know how it'd work as a business though in terms of making a return on investment if you have to pay rent to store items of any size. I expect the price structure might have to be tiered so above a certain size you'd charge more to...

    GDPR and my little business

    The only thing I would keep in mind is ensuring I take reasonable precautions with that data so think about only storing and using data you know you need to carry out the service. If you are able to retrieve that customer data after the service is carried out then you should put something about...
