Just wanting to test the water before jumping in, I'm setting up an online retail store and have been looking at cloth nappies (I am a cloth nappy user myself).
But before I make any financial commitments I was wondering if forumites thought there was room for one more store? I'm looking at selling a mix of brands I've already seen available here as well as some different ones.
So many cool products out there but I don't want to make the wrong choices!
There are heaps of nappy sites - I guess if you were going to start up another one you would need a 'point of difference' something to bring people in and want to choose your store over another.
I agree there are heaps of products out there maybe too many to choose from so someone that has done the research and found some extra cool stuff would be cool.
The only thing I found really confusing when we started looking was, the types and how many you needed, plus most of the specials seemed to be related to big starter packs and wasn't ready to make that commitment, so something with a 'return customer discount' or loyalty card? could be another sweetner to get people in.
You could try contacting a mentor group, always good to have a business mentor to help or have a fresh stance on ideas.
Snazzipants a NZ nappy store were thinking of selling a while back. Maybe you could see if they still thinking of selling and take on an existing store?
