Business & Finance - 17 December 2006

We have been marketing a new product under a new brand name since 2 years. Though the product has good customer feedback, the Retailers and Wholesalers are not responding as we expect. As on date we have 30 Retailers and no Distributors. I suggest organic way of growing, that is first convincing the local retailers to sell the product and then try selling the product through the Distributors. This is because I believe if we are not able to convince some of the reputed Retailers in local, we will not be able to convince the Distributors. But my CEO prefers to concentrate on appointing Distributors instead of chasing reputed Retailers in local. And he says "WHILE GOING FOR ELEPHANT HUNTING DON'T CHASE THE RABBITS THAT COME ON THE WAY. Opinions/ suggestions please.

Well, I've been working at a grocery store for 6 months and I'm 17. I've made it pretty clear before that I cannot work 6 day weeks and more than 20 hours a week because I am also still in school. I keep getting 6 day weeks and 25-30 hours a week. I'm tired of it, I've talked and complained to my boss. I'm quitting. But the catch is that I want to quit tomorrow, as in call up and say I'm going to quit, I don't want to work the oh lets see ..REST OF THE 5 DAYS I HAVE SCHEDULED this week because I have reached my breaking point and I'm going to go insane if I work any longer there. I miss my friends, I miss my family, I miss eating dinner with my family. Simple appointments and assignments are out of the question because I'm always working.

There are 3 blending plants within 100 mi radius, but the only problem for feasability is the local grain market is small and much of the grain would have to be bought outside the state at first. Also, does anyone know of a way that I can get substantial funding for this project, Its going to take several millions in purchasing land, construction, labor and capital.

Does any one think that i have a good chance of getting this job?
And, what are some ways to make another good impression , or some tips to improve my chances of getting hired?

... so I do not have time to sell the idea now, also no funds to promote it. We can have the individual shirts produced at zazzle.com We need a website that can create the custom orders. 1/2 of the idea can be found on www.nakedspark.com but it is Not what makes it unique.

I have done some tests w/ great results.

There are many ways to market this. I think that it would be wise to make some Initial Offerings of Pre-Production shirts with Company Logos for companies to raise capital. I think that we should start with companies that base their businesses on inspiration before expanding to the regular market. Start with Weight Watchers, Colleges, NFL. Then Coke & Beer. If we solicite them shirts that relate to their Mission Statement the shirts should sell themselves.
I would prefer a company that already does this. Someone w/ excitement, looking to add to their line & looking for a hot idea.
I tried contacting The Gap, considering their situation, but they did not respond.

The couple lives in Michigan. The husband is contemplating moving to Illinois to accept a job that would require him to live in Chicago. His wife would continue to live in Michigan. Therefore, they would have to file separate individual tax returns instead of a joint return. All other things being the same, would they have to pay more taxes in total because of having to file separate returns?
