what would be easier? Starting a new business as mail order OR starting a new business in a shop? (being a retail product everyone buys)
What kinda pitfalls can happen with mail order? Would the banking system be easier with mail order? And of course…..cost is a huge thing!! Mail order means saving money on renting a premises.
Any ideas on starting out?? Good or bad

I am not sure if this is what you are after but, to do mail order you have to make it easier and cheaper than to go down to the shops and just buy it and have instant gratification.
To highlight this point, I have just purchased a new fishing reel via mail order, the price was good, the service was excellant, delivery very prompt and I couldnt get this reel locally without ordering it in (so I would have to wait anyway).
With internet banking and quick, cheap delivery of goods I am a fan of mail order.
Good luck

hey pinky – mail order businesses are huge in canberra.
all types of products!!!
Yes, and I think Pinky already has the retail background suitable!!!
Cheers
MelI think mail order thru the net is the way of the future. As long as its followed with prompt reliable service. I hate shops like most men i guess, and mail order i find it’s often cheaper and get it the next day.
Cheaper less time and fuel looking around when found on the net.
Question pinky, is it something mainly men would want? If so unless u setting up a auto parts store or hardware store i would think mail order the go.

i reckon mail order and internet are the way to go, that way you can work the hours you want.

The thing with mailout or web based selling is that people still have to be told about it and hence you have higher costs for advertising. High cost of paying rent for a shop is partially an advertising cost also as it generates walk by sales/traffic.
The web/mailorder gives you a much wider target market.
You have to think about how wil you distribute and warehouse your goods. How will people pay for them (or how do you get your money)and what are the costs associated with that.
Good luck I hope you are on to something.
