Cashdollar2009 Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 Good luck. With today's economy, trying to compare shop prices to online suppliers pricing, you are going to have A LOT of competition to keep up with. Of course, a lot of people still don't know much and are more comfortable relying on shops... Stick with a lot of "mainstream" products until you start making sales. People aren't gonna wanna immediately hop onto a bandwagon for a product that they think they can spend hundreds less and get the same performance. Have a good shop/demo vehicle to help advertise. Be nice, knowledgeable, and open to ideas. Do not rep JL Audio.

quackenbush25 Posted February 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 demo vehicle was one of the first things we thought of and we know some people that are great at designing layouts for stores and people who make websites for a living so were going to atleast look good lol. but seriously most of the people that work in the shops around here dont kno much of anything. also we dont plan on carrying anything very low end dont even wanna go much lower than like kicker and alpine. maybe like a little but of hifonics(just amps) and some pioneer and american bass.

CaptainzPlanetz Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 First thing you probably want to do is get a business license. ¿ǝɯɐƃ ǝɥʇ Trolls never learn............ All BS aside, If I see one more comment in here that is NOT about the pre-sale, I will start the vacations. And that includes the trolls feeding the trolls.
