May 12, 2009 at 17:41Tale of how I opened my online store: birthdayZ
It was three years ago. The birthday of the business is April 12, 2006.
Two young students of the Kiev Polytechnic Institute decided to open an online perfume store. Not an ONLINE STORE, but an online store for PERFUMES. Do you feel the difference?)
Perfumes, because it so happened that in my apartment (I used to live with my brother) there were perfumes for 800 cu Well, I had money, and the money should work, I thought, and agreed to my friend’s offer to buy customs confiscated at ridiculous prices. In general, at first sales went according to acquaintances: we shoved the first batch exclusively through acquaintances, which we were pleased with. The quality of the goods was good, in stores it cost much more and they took it well from us.
They took another little party. The circle of clients was expanding: we began to punch according to our acquaintances, wherever we could fuse it and found a man who offered us the same product, but at lower prices. It became more interesting)
We did not think about an online store at that time and generally did not suspect such things as Internet commerce.
A few more games passed. Now we took the goods in smaller quantities and sold more expensive, on which we actually earned some money. We didn’t stir, because were students and requests were small - this was the first capital.
How I came up with the idea of opening an online store I don’t remember. I have been an active surfer for a long time, and I knew that such exist, but they often throw clients (fact, there was such a time).
“My friend, let's open an online store?” I once said to my current partner with a glass of beer. And on April 12, the domain elitparfum.com.ua was registered.
I confess right away that they would tell me then what awaits me in the future - I would send this thing to hell. But the first experience, the low cost of entering the market, communications with programmers (grief) and designers (second grief) lured us and we decided to start.
And here the first mistake awaited us ... to be continued ;)
