The hours and days are adding up and Fashion Front is making sales and audiences have been able to read our opportunities page with a view to starting their own business.
Our major break through occurred when we officially went live at the start of the week and utilized the power of network marketing. We use both Facebook and Twitter as they allow us to post our special offers etc straight to the dektop of our networks. We both hate in your face sales and especially disagree with nagging friends to buy clothes or accessories from us. In letting my community know about the business many have come to us with offers of help and to learn more about what we are doing. This is what we wanted!
The learning curve for our journey has been really steep but very enjoyable. As we learn, we are understanding more the processes of marketing although thousands of miles away from where we should be. Actually, an interesting point, as we marketed, friends of mine realised what we were trying to do and showed great skills in marketing and also networking that have helped greatly. Thanks!
The first major meeting with Fashion Front is tomorrow since the Facebook launch. We will be planning the marketing budgets, how we are going to market, who we are going to target etc...
Really looking forward to it. As an incentive in the first few months me and the team are setting some goals that we agree on and if hit, some paid for merchendise!!! I personally am going for the Blue Vestel Zeppelin watch which happens to be on offer at the moment!!! I think I'll put it on offer about the time i come to get it for myself after I have reached my targets!!! Is that tight??? haha.
Catch up soon!

The wheels are in motion - starting up the business
Where do you start when building a business?
We looked all over the internet and read many blogs and forum strings about the subject. The subject is massive and its difficult to see the wood for the trees. There's stuff on starting up, setting up a company, sales, marketing, business ideas, e-commerse, earning extra money, corporate law, forums, blog, social networks, the list goes on. I even came across advice on what to do if you make too much money to spend. HaHa.
We decided to discuss what we wanted to achieve as goals and go in with a plan. Luckily we have similar goals so this was easy. They were all about building a future, not neccesserily creating money to line our pockets. Our plan - probably our first mistake - not having one in particular.
For the first 2 weeks we never wrote down action points, goals for the month, week and day and haphazardly went about business with little or no direction. Fortunately we decided to take hold of the reins and start working smart, not neccessarily hard, or like a busy fool!!!
We now have listings on business directories, a couple of forums, Twitter, a Facebook page that is soon to be released, google adverts, Adsence etc... Our day, week and month are being planned with specific goals that we must hit.
