Snake as we are a scale models forum and not specifically a model car forum it is not surprising that you haven't had an immediate response.
It is never easy when someone looking at setting up a new business, who is naturally full of enthusiasm, gets a bit deflated by a lack of response from a potential audience. People already have thier current suppliers and need time to see what alternatives may have to offer. It is also fair to say that a great number of suppliers come and go as they realise that the trade is not as bouyant as they thought it was going to be and isn't going to be the thriving business that they hoped for.
I would send a PM to Squiffythewombat, who has only recently started up his own business, and who I am sure will be able to prepare you for some of the dissapointments that you are certainly going to encounter as you try to do the same. We also have other members who have run many businesses over the years who I am sure would be happy to offer any advice regarding this.
Those members who are in the model car fraternity I am sure will have had a look and perhaps they are answering your first question by not saying much. Take care that you are not looking for the answer that you want rather than what potential customers think.
Anyway welcome to the forum! |
