Opening a card business.

[07mears07]

For all you card shop owners. I'm considering open a business. Possibly online (like da or blowout). Is it worth it? I'm majoring in business so I got that part down. Opinions please.

I'm going to college for something to do with business too. Probably Accounting. I say go for it, if you have the business knowledge to do it, why not

[07mears07]

What is the cost? Anyone know

[steen101984]

you have to do ALOT of research and business plans and have some start-up capital as well. I wish you luck but i would stick to doing something through here or ebay or something i wouldnt try and compete against the big boys

The cost of opening a business depends on a lot of things and is something you will need to research. Since you are looking into an online business some costs will be:
- website creation and hosting
- marketing & advertising
- inventory
- packaging & shipping
- wages (need to pay yourself)

Also don't forget to research your competition and target market. Good business have a UPS (Unique Selling Proposition/Point). Basically this is something that makes you different and unique than everybody else, because the last thing you want to be is exactly like everyone else.

Hope this helps
