I've been preparing for a while now, obtaining business licenses, sellers permits etc... I've also been stocking up on merchandise, I originally started selling from home, But now I have the funds for either a professional website or a store front. ( My Business- Balloon delivery, gift items. ) I need advise.. Where do you prefer to shop? For these items? Online or store front?

With this type of business I would rather shop in a store because i don't like paying all the shipping charges for this kind of item and if I need a quick present for a birthday or something that my children forgot to tell me about then I can run to the store. If you have a good location I would start out in a store and maybe by the end of the year you can start you online store.Good Luck.......

I would encourage you to do both. A storefront will enable you to become a part of the community and gain local and loyal customers. Online sales can contribute to the volume of the sales, but online shoppers tend to be rather fickle and bargain shoppers. There is a lot of competition on the net and you need to figure out what your edge will be. If you plan on winning them over with service, then I would encourage you to open a storefront.

I personally enjoy shopping online. No lines to wait in, no gas and usually no hassle. Have to really shop though because shipping online can sometimes mean you pay a little more overall.
