It’s hard to be an entrepreneur. We know that just as well as the next guy. In honor of National Entrepreneurs Day, we wanted to give all the aspiring business owners out there another push in the direction of their dreams with expert tips for how to start a business. Read them below and remember that these are just one of the MANY ways Shopify at ROW can help you turn your dreams into a reality if you stop by their space.
Every business starts with an idea. Set aside time for yourself to brainstorm and come up with a business idea that you want to pursue. To get started, ask yourself questions like: What is a problem I’d like to solve? Do I see a gap in a particular market? What is the existing competition? Will it sell?
Once you’ve identified a niche, you’ll need to decide what you want to sell. You can do this by prototyping a new product, customizing an existing product, or curating your own collection of products through dropshipping.
In a world dominated by social media, it’s important that your brand visually stands out from the crowd. Investing resources into great product and lifestyle imagery will draw customers to your brand and ease purchasing decisions.
