I am contemplating opening a new promotional business in perth and need advice and a little guidance? -

I believe I can run a brilliant promotional business in Perth, Australia. It would specialize in club promotions usually alcohol related or data collection. I do need a little guidance as to how I actually find clients such as jagermeister, pulse etc etc I have no problem with the technical side to running a business as I am administrative staff for another family business but railways consultancy engineering is very different to promotions. I wouldn t expect I would need to write a scope of work in response to a tender for a nightclub job. hahaAny help would be much appreciated.And before it is said, I know I am being naive and asking for help without knowing much about how to do things but this is how I learn, right now i am just sending out some feelers and hoping for some support.

Good question. To save you some time, here s what you need to do. I m not sure if the really big liquor companies us in-house advertsing, meaning they have a full time staff doing everything, including your new business tasks. As this is not my specific industry, don t assume, you can make a few calls to be sure. Next, would be the smaller labels that hire outside ad agencies. You know, the ones who charge the big bucks? Well, those ad agencies are your customers. Once you get going you may get your own big labels after you have references and a track record, but you need to sell yourself as a service that specializes in the nightclub channels.See if there is anyone doing exactly what you are doing, you can get an idea of how they are presenting their services. Then:Make a list of services you will provide, this will grow as you begin to work with the ad companies as they will have special requests for you. Like a menu of services, if you will... You may not want to list prices at first until you are comfortable with how much things will cost you. Just give proposals as requested. And you have got to be super professional, as they won t take any chances with you screwing up their customers business - which makes them look bad. Then go through the list of places on the internet and send them an email or package in the mail introducing yourself and your company and the specialized services you offer. And I would also recommend the nightclubs. Get in touch with the owners and drop off packets so they can use your services for their clients also and make a nice profit. Think $$$ - if you can make them $$$ you ll get lots of business.I would think that s a good start. I could go on and on because I love this but let s spare you my ramblings.Good luck!

What is business to you? -

Business, to me, is any activity in which one could produce income without necessarily having to be there. In other words, there is a SYSTEM in place to do the work for the business owner. A prime example would be McDonald s. Would you say McDonald s makes the best hamburgers in the world? No. Of course not. Would you say McDonald s SELLS the most burgers in the world? Definitely! Why? There is a SYSTEM in place. You know exactly where the fry maker is but you won t see the owner.

I bought something online, returned it? -

for an exchange NEVER received the items I exchanged the first for. I live in Ca. I ordered these items in Oregon. I cannot get an answer by phone, no email NOTHING. Can I create a webpage right next to the name of the business I bought these items through warning others of how bad their service is? What would you rec. I do? thank you

That is why you should be careful when doing business with small websites that have no reputation, and if the price is much lower than other places.If you stick to places like eBay, Amazon, etc, at least you have some recourse.Take it as a learning experience where you have paid the tuition and gotten your lesson. And never use such sites again.

Your question makes no sense. How do you create a website right next to something?How long has it been?

The bidding on an item that I had listed ended on eBay and the buyer is outside US which I am not happy about.? -

What are my options now?I don t want to send the product out of USA for any reason.I have not specified in my text that the shipping is within US only. But I had the option for shipping open to US buyers only. Isn t that sufficient for me to ignore the first buyer and pass on the product to second chance?The buyer has 100% feedback but only 28 feedbacks!What are my options. I don t want to end up with a negative feedback.Please help

Sorry........you needed to clearly state your position........you didn t......now ship or get some negative feed back........

Why dont you sell world wide?you have to pack the item securely anyway!As an ebay seller myself I started selling in my own country then offer my items worldwide and havent looked back.Its easy to work out postage costs, just go to a shopping company website and enter the weight and destination.

Hi,If you had the block buyers outside of USA enabled then you wouldn t have had this problem. The buyer is able to leave you a negative feedback bad DSR numbers so there aren t many options.

If you checked certain boxes in the Ebay listing preferences it would not have been listed on non US Ebay sites, even if the buyer asked it to search for International listings. If, in the box headed by Other Info it said United States beside Ships To, then you may have a case. What is says beside shipping in the main listing is less important as that usually lists the shipping costs and most people only list shipping for their own country, regardless of where they ship. So it depends whether your ships to box said North America, US, International or a combination of some other countries. I m pretty sure that what you select for that box controls what Ebay sites your listing shows up on. Now, if someone from a foreign country went to the Ebay.com site (instead of ebay.co.uk or ebay.ca or whatever) to access US listings not available on other sites and didn t check where you were willing to ship to (in the Other Information/ Ships To box) then you may have a case saying that you specified that you ship to US. If you are passionate about this you will likely have to spell this out in your listing. I often go up on the US site, being from Canada, to get things not available here. Even if sellers list US under their ships to heading, almost all will ship to me when I assure them I will pay by Paypal and have 100% feedback. Over the last 5 years or so I think I ve run into fewer than 5 sellers who won t. If they spell it out in their listing and say absolutely no shipping outside of US so please don t ask, I don t bother with that listing. I used to sell a lot on Ebay when I was home with my kids and always listed internationally. I figured the more people bidding the more likely I might get a good bidding war going. I shipped in person from the post office so it was no different than shipping nationally. It takes about 20 seconds to fill out the green customs slip stating what you have in the package. The US slip looks just like ours although the US post office insists that you sign yours for some reason. I think that came in after the Anthrax scare although I m fairly certain that people happy to poison others through the post would find forgery a fairly doable offence. If you are certain your listing was restricted to the Ebay US site only you should have a case. (you would have had to restrict the item while listing it. The default is that it will show up everywhere which is why many people also spell out in the listing where they will ship.) If the person pays via Paypal and has 100% feedback I wouldn t worry. They paid honestly for 28 things, they are unlikely to stiff you. If they pay via Paypal, you have the money before you ship anyway. Iwould worry more about a neg feedback as a 100% rating is worth something as a seller. You should get a shipping price that includes tracking and insurance, however, so you will be well covered with proof that you mailed the parcel. Good luck.
