Starting a website selling stickers

[chrissylogue20]

Consider starting a internet business that sells stickers etc, whats your views? and advice?

Car stickers etc

 

[estwig]

Could you make this into a sticker??????????????

 

[Edd_Smith]

Theres lotttttsss of peope running this kind of business as a back bedroom operation. As long as you can stand out from amongst them, you have a viable business.

 

[crphillips]

This can't be serious?

 

[coxdabd]

Why can't this be serious? Care to explain?

 

[oldeagleeye]

All depends on how much faster they make the car go. Vroom Vrroom.

Sorry OP but you got more chance of earning a living selling old Starsky & Hutch videos.

Petrol heads don't buy cheap car stickers these days. They are into big - big Wolfer speaker boxes and led lighting.

Sure go for it i say. If theres people looking for this product then you may as well be the one selling it.

A few people in the US have started producing stickers that are properly screen printed, it gives them a real authentic look and feel - is this something you are considering?

If you need any help / advice on design and print, please don't hesitate to contact me.

good idea but need fast delivery,I think

You can sell anything online really.
You need to do your keyword research first to see if it is worth it.
Maybe there is too much competition.
You need to assess how long it will take you to get to a good position.
You can also try selling through ebay, PPC etc.

Hi good luck to you,
Plan it through, get a good domain name,
Get a good website they don't have to break the bank and please don't have any flashing headers lol.
Check out social media to tie in links to your site, bet you know loads of people on facebook so get them to follow you and get business that way too,
Push the gift idea too, you can post a sticker in a card as a gift they are ideal long distance gifts
Most of all you need good seo as it is a competative business,
Most of this you can do yourself or if your sure your onto a winner then check out who you pay to do this for you check testamonials and track record etc, so you don't get caught out, we have picked up a lot of business lately having to clean up from people left in the lurch by seo companies and it's awful so take care with the seo side,
Hope it all works out for you, please do a goon slow down for horses one!! good luck

We manufacture car window stickers, the ones without adhesive, in full colour and there is plenty of money to be made on these if you get a good design, and you will find that not many UK companies manufacture these, if you want any pricing please pm me.

Look forward to hearing from you.

omg that is the stupidiest idea ever. who is going to put a stupid sticker on their car that is just soooo stupid. i tell you what even if you pay me I not gonna put a sticker on my merc

 

[sarah@opace]

car decals are awesome, and you can pay a lot of money for them, my mum got me one for xmas and it was very classy and very expensive so, good luck there is a market for them, and i guess its a matter of taste, everyone is different what some like others don't and that what makes the world go round

good luck

 

Don't listen to the negative people on here, they're eternally unhelpful.

So you want to sell stickers online? First of all, when I think of places to buy stickers I think of WHSmith. Do people buy stickers online? I'm not sure. Is there a big enough market in stickers to run a business? Again, not sure. What figures do you have for the sticker industry? Will you be producing the stickers or just selling them on from wholesale? How much do people pay for stickers?

If you can come back with some answers to these questions it would be helpful...

Selling sticks is going to be one of those businesses that gives back what you put into it. I imagine you could start this business on a shoe-string of about £2000.00 from a spare room, but as you would be competing with many others doing the same you aren't going to get a great return.

If on the other hand you invest a couple of hundred thousand into this and set up a national add-on franchise aimed at complimentary companies then you could expect a greater return.

*EDIT* Errrr, I of course meant to say stickers not sticks...

Good job he was never going to pay you then... Please DWP, take your:

Bad attitude
Lack of "60K Merc"
Shocking website
Even worse domain name
Poor business ideas
Bad Speilling
Product packaging girlfriend
Audatious stories
Silly lies
Useless advice
Slanderous comments
And most importantly yourself off this high quality forum and let real business people give themselves a better chance at success as opposed to reading reams and reams of and im sorry to swear but... well shite.

Thank you.

Oh just so im useful I think the idea could be a good one as proved by many other companies. However i think a sticker company who focus solely on a corporate market would be very good. 2p and all that.

P.s. Take your family with you doodles.

And most importantly yourself off this high quality forum...

I agreed with you for the most part, but as each day goes by I associate the term 'high quality' with UKBF less and less.

Things will change when people like him decide to pipe down and get on with puberty.

Anyway ive finishing high-jacking this thread. Good luck OP.
