Hello there. I am starting out a new business and I am hoping for some advice, ideas, hints, tips, whatever! My store is called Jades Jewells and I have labeled it "The Unique Boutique". I am still working on getting my website finished & functional. I could actually specialize in almost any niche I choose with the variety of products I have available. I have a few different things in the making but I am also looking for some input from others. Anyone?

That is such a coincidence Jade and Jewel are my daughters middle name too. Lol. Well I have websites and The Unique Boutique is a good name but you will have to come up with a tagline that will say that it is a store with a variety of products. Here are my websites you can look at to give you some ideas. www.daboutique.com www.amourspecialties.com http://classicstyle.zlio.net/ www.challengeyourselfto.com Try to do as much no cost marketing as you can by joining online social networks. Take a look at my resource page on my challengeyourselfto.com website to see the list of all the best social networks to join. Make flyers and business at home if you have the capability. Good luck I hope this helps.

Thank u so much for all the help & information. That was nice of you. And I will definitely check out your sites tonight when I get home. I have an Alexis Marie Jewell and an Alisia Sierra Jade. I just feel bad cuz I have 2 other kids that I just couldn't incorporate their names as well. lol. One line I have been putting on my postcards/letterhead/business cards etc. is (Jades Jewells "The Unique Boutique" New & Gently Used Treasures). Have your businesses taken off or are you a newbie like me? Because I keep reading that I should probably find a good mentor. But I don't know anyone who is in business for themselves. Thanks again

I am a newbie with the retail online business, I am a real estate investor and I have virtual assistant business. You can find some mentors on the social networks, I have found some very helpful people.
