Can you package your product in a manner that it can be shipped, and stored for somewhat lengthy periods? ( I m assuming it doens t need to be refridgerated)offhand this sounds like a product that certain sports enthusiasts would enjoy...like hunters, hikers. I m sure you are aware of several other of your perfect customer type.Why not advertise directly to those types of people.Direct mail...it works..especially for food
What I think is this,You don t want the bank or credit card companies being your partner, thier not our friends.Keep working on your business plan.Take smaller loans from family and friends and thier family and friends. They say everyone has 250 people in thier circle. Heck, if you borrowed $50 from a thousand people.I would look for two or three more accountsand earmark that money for your venture capital.If you don t have a website yet, try Bizland.com its a good learning tool and very reasonable to build a web site.You might also try ecrater.com to open a free online store front.I was looking at Facebook today and you can use that to develop leads and myspace too.Then of course theres e-bay.It all might be a bit slower but you sure are going to save some interest.So Good Luck to you and soon you will be the King of Beef Jerky.
