Starting my own craft shop

Post by EveningEmma »

Hi guys,

I've been working on starting my own needlework shop for the past month or two, and I'm working on a business plan so I can receive a business loan. Part of this is doing customer research, to find out a bit more about crafters spending habits and such.

I hope you guys will help me out by taking a very short survey. It's just 8 questions, but it will help me get my business up and running! The survey is here: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/3KFPVMM

Thanks a lot to anybody who does it!

I did the survey. Are you going to sell stuff online along with having a actual building for shop? Good luck with it.

I should've clarified a bit! It's going to be an online shop at first, I would like to have a physical shop eventually. I will mainly be focussing on selling independently produced and alternative craft supplies.

Thanks for filling in the survey!

This is something I want to do as well, for Sprite Stitch (a lot of you already know that), but unfortunately I'm too ill to get it started yet.
Survey done, always glad to help! Best of luck with your endeavour, I hope it goes very well for you! :D
