Why not start at your local FARMERS market- you might have a buying audience right there.cookingwithgashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11456258592273328486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-865322547864857379.post-12329004663787650432011-08-25T18:59:12.636-07:002011-08-25T18:59:12.636-07:00I have no idea about how to start a business, but ...I have no idea about how to start a business, but I'd volunteer to have something shipped to me (if you are going to ship that far). <br /><br />My one recommendation, try to think of who would want to purchase your goods, and try to think of how to reach them. You already mentioned that you aren't sure of your customer base, but I would focus on developing that first. Don't let the fact that you don't have a clear idea yet discourage you though.

Will you mail chocolate chip cookies (will YOU make them?) in July? You might have to operate regionally in order to guarantee things arriving quickly and in good condition. You also need factor in the initial cost of shipping supplies and advertising (like on Facebook side ads). I think your baked goods are gorgeous and tasty, so I wish you good luck in this venture. <br /><br />I'd volunteer for cake tasting, but I'm a little outside your region. ;)Pastor Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01483149432826000955noreply@blogger.com
