I currently work for an E-Commerce business and looking for new business ideas, because business is so slow.? We advertise with Google, Yahoo & Bing and currently spend OVER $8,000/month on advertising sites such as those. We are a nationwide e-commerce business that specialize in embroidered uniforms(polos, tees, bags, caps, etc) and also golf towels, and hats of different kinds. We are trying to pinpoint Corporate which has been really hard even after being in business for over a decade. Only small orders come in for small businesses that range from $200-$500 (we're trying to get $2,000+ orders). My boss asked me if I had any ideas, and would appreciate it if you could help us. Anything that's embroidered, screen printed, or even heat pressed. Since we already do uniforms, caps, totes, towels, etc, what are some other things that we can expand to? I was thinking that Port Authority is very hot on the market for corporate, so there are many competitors; therefore, sucking up our advertising funds and not even ordering from us in the end. What's a great corporate office brand? Remember, we are trying to hit corporate, therefore BULK. Thanks for all your help, by you answering this question you are helping me, save this company. God bless.

What are some good ideas for a business in a small town? My friend and I are thinking about going into business together. She owns a building with a store on the main level. She has been trying to sell knickknacks, which hasn't gone over well. We live in a small town and most people have to drive at least 15 miles to the nearest Wal-mart to get what they need. I run a home day care right now, but that isn't going well either do to families working different shifts in order to save money on child care. She and I both have children, so it would be nice to make our own schedules and be able to take our kids to work with us, if needed. I am less than a year from completing a business degree, and she and her late husband ran a successful landscaping business together for years. She and I are both incapable of doing that type of businesses. I have helped her in past with her bounce house business, but that isn't something that makes money year round. We would still offer that service with whatever else we do. We have business experience, a building to house the businesses, but no idea for the business. I need some ideas. We are considering finding a good product to purchase from a wholesaler. We would sell it in the store and try selling on ebay as well. We wouldn't have problems with shipping because the store is right across the street fromt our post office. My friend knows how to make stocking caps, and I know how to make candles, pillows, and blankets. We were considering a baby/kid store, but are still exploring our options.

help me collaborate on marketing ideas for my art business? hey everyone, i'll start off with a short background. my names terra. im 19. i do a lot of painting and drawing. i work in a lot of mediums, such as acrylic, oil pastel, graphite, spray paint.. and i do mostly realist-type art, such as portraits, still lifes, landscapes, ect but my favorite subject is people. i love capturing the emotion and character in someones face. now my current situation.. ive done some commissioned work, and started marketing myself a little.. (handing out business cards, creating a facebook page for my art, ect) but ive been talking to my sister who went to school for graphic design about expanding my little art "business" she needs to build up her portfolio, so shes agreed to help me make business cards, post cards that promote my art, pamphlets that would have my artists statement, ect. im really looking forward to working on these things with her and we have some good ideas already, but i thought i would open up the collaboration further to all of you. i could use advice on ways to market my art. along with the ideas i posted above, i was thinking of making a post card or pamphlet i could hand out to coffee shops, dentist offices ect explaining that i could rent their wall space/ display my art in their place of business. i think that would be more professional then just going around promoting myself and taking up peoples time. as far as business cards go.. i had the idea to make my business name "queen of arts" then for a business card, have it look like the queen of hearts playing card, only with some embellishments, and my logo in the corner (still working on a logo) then my contact information in the center. im still open to advice on this oh, and eventually, i would like to have a "showing" for my art. so i could use some help planning that. should i find a space to rent, or network with other artists to share costs and set up an event.. maybe at someones house or studio and have some live music as well as snacks&coffee, and there will be art for sale/on display.. and my sister will design the fliers for that. i have a lot of followers on my facebook page, so i could promote it on there as well as spread the word in person also, since im just starting out, it would be very helpful to collaborate with other artists, so to anyone who has experience with this kind of thing, let me know if you want to exchange emails or something so we can perhaps keep in contact and turn to each other for advice? anyway, i think that's enough for everyone to think about, and thank you in advance for the help, i know this is a somewhat long question.

What are some good small business ideas in Southern California, or even online? I currently own and run an internet dog boutique, and really enjoy it, but it just doesn't bring in the big bucks.. I only started 9 months ago, so it hasn't been forever, but it only makes me a part-time wage, less than 1000 dollars profit a month (it varies, anywhere from 500 - 800 in general). That's how much I would make working in my city part time, but I just really enjoy it, like I said. My dad already owns and runs his own kitchen cabinet shop, but business has been slow going there.. I'm 22, by the way. I don't have a degree as of yet, although I am in college.. I don't think I want to do anything dog-related, but maybe.. My parents also want to open up a specialized sandwich shop, so we've thought of that also. Any other ideas? No bakeries or restaurants, they're just too hard.. Also thought of commercial cleaning services and courier services, as well as daycares, but nothing has really clicked. We really are in the very beginning stages of talk/ideas. Thanx 4ur ideas
