Alot of a business depends on the wether or not a product is wanted. If it is on a larger scale basis then you could try contacting some smaller stores to work as a middle-man for you. For something smaller scale you might want to go to yahoo web site builder and setup a web page that will help you sell; but you'd have to be willing to ship overseas. Alot of a business is just knowing the right people.

Lets assume customers know all the products available in the market place. \n\nMost often there exists similar or substitute products in the market for example the chocolate market, Cadburys vs Nestle or in the soft drinks market Coca Cola vs Pepsi Cola or the car market. How would a potential buyer choose what brand to buy since it’s the same product? To answer this question we must think in marketing terms such as the 4 p’s which are product, price, place and promotion. \n\nPrice communicates a lot about the product such as, expensive means that the product is of the highest quality. Or cheap which can say – buy lots of me but don’t give it to your loved ones as a birthday present. \n\nPromotion is used to get customers to hear about the product and get them to try it. Product promotion is a strategy used to increase sales, increase product/brand awareness or get rid of stock. A product promotion could be a BOGOF (buy one get one free), by one get second half price, money off coupons, etc. These strategies are used to get customers to buy more of your product or simply try it for the first time.\n\nMarketing is the process of exchanging products or the art of persuading people to buy your product. I said exchange because a customer will exchange money for the product they are buying, with so many me too products in the market place a business has to do all it can to convince customers that their product is better than the competition for whatever reason, that’s the art of Marketing. Coming up with the right products, setting the right prices, selling the product in the best and most convenient places (having the product available for purchase), communicating the product to the public and convincing customers that your product is better then the competition is the art of selling.

working with a distributor would be the easy way to go, but you'll have lower margins to deal with.  why not test the market by working with some paintball field operators to test your products and sell directly to them along with other direct sales outlets such as ebay where expenses are low...\n\nyou should have some marketing material ready to promote your business.  i used to work as a sales consultant so if you need additional advice, email me to my yahoo address.

Sell products that people actually want. \n\nSelling on eBay is not as easy as some portray. In fact, go to eBay and check out the number of auctions that end without a single bid. Competition is getting tough, as more sellers go to eBay; even the big boys are joining in the eBay marketplace. Add to that the increasing listing and final value fees.\n\neBay has several ways for you to determine exactly what the hot items to sell on their marketplace: \n\nItems In Demand = the most popular items currently within that particular category. To see the In Demand page, go to http://pages.ebay.com/sellercentral/sellbycategory.html  \n\nHot Items by Category Report = a monthly report that lists the fastest growing categories on eBay for the previous month. Go to http://pages.ebay.com/sellercentral/whatshot.html and select "Hot Items by Category" from the menu on the left. \n\neBay Pulse = "a daily snapshot of current trends, hot picks, and cool stuff on eBay". Go to http://pulse.ebay.com/ to see eBay Pulse in action. \n\nMerchandising Calendar = eBay promotes specific categories on its home page each month. Savvy eBayers know that this home page exposure results in more interest in such categories. Go to http://pages.ebay.com/sellercentral/calendar.html  to view the current Merchandising Calendar.\n\nAs for items to sell, you can:\n\n1. Buy bulk liquidation items such as those at Liquidation.com. The capitalization may be big, but the idea is to sell the items individually and profit from it.\n\n2. Find manufacturers of items you want to sell and buy discounted items from them\n\n3. Make deals with retailers in your area, and offer to buy their unwanted items for deep discounts. jayandmarie - the most successful ebay sellers - made deals with music stores where they will buy the entire inventory in the discounted bins, and then sold the items on ebay for 1-cent starting bid.\n\n4. Look for possible partners on the Web, preferably outside of the US. Import items from them and sell them on ebay. There's huge profits to gain from this approach.\n\nI suggest you read the articles on Success with Auctions http://www.powerhomebiz.com/internet/auctions.htm

Try to get a part-time job in a bakery!  That would be a great way to get a 'behind the scenes' look at how the business really works!\n\nYou could also make a few great samples and take them to local bakerys or food stores ... if they like them, you might be able to convince them to buy your product for resale. \n\nIf you can get your products on a few store shelves, make sure your name and contact information is on the wrapping or box, so maybe next time, the customer contacts YOU directly.\n\ngood luck!

Depends what you're selling in your store really.\n\nSo your previous answerer was absolutely right really.\n\nYou need to check the demographic of the population, what competition you have in the area, etc.\n\nFor instance.............if the average age of the population is 50+ there would be no point opening a baby shop................or no point opening a burger bar if there is a McDonalds on one corner of your block and a Burger King on the other !\n\nIn very simple terms, most very basic business estimates use the Pareto Principle (otherwise known as the 80/20 rule). This basically says that in a business 80% of the sales comes from 20% of the customer base. \n\nThis can be applied to many other statistics, so in your case, 13791 people are your target market. How you get them through the door is down to you, your product, your pricing, and your marketing.\n\nGood luck.

Best way to approach this is to make yourself known locally. For example attend local flea markets...farm markets and even yard sales displaying and selling your products. You will get repeated customers and through word of mouth sales will pick-up. Don't be disappointed if you recieve negative results from some people...dogs have different tastes. Insure you have a contact name and phone number labeled on each product you sell. Good luck with your venture.

Think of your target audience (your classmates, your teacher, your parents, etc.)\n\n4.  Think of some commercials that you like and adapt them to your own.\n\n5.  Ask your teacher for some help.
