Firstly I would figure out the most concern to me, budgeting.
If I had enough budget to commence my business journey I would absolutely get everything under my control, basically kick off my own brand and website.
However, if I had very limited budget and urge to get things work ASAP, create an Amazon shop would be the easiest way to do.
Here is pros and cons for both way.
Own a brand or a webshop isn’t that easy, every step takes money.
1.To buy a couple of unique designs is important, a hard decision could simply determine if the products are going to be a hit.
2.To run a webshop you would need some real pro help and it’s a long-term maintenance.
3.Prototypes require a big amount of time and funds as well. To find a reliable supplier also matters.
4.Marketing. No matter collab with Tiktok/Instagram influencers or let our products showed up in their videos/images. That’s a big and a long-term investments.
To start an Amazon shop would save much more money but incredibly competitive.
1.Amazon/Etsy have very standard charge rates, either set a shop up or storage even shipping they do have their own rates.
2.You cannot do the pre sales without getting your products into the supervised depository. While you can pre-sell on your own platforms.
3.Most importantly, so many similar shops and products up there. You can always find someone beating you down with lower prices, even get to question how that would be possible. Trust me so many people pay a lot to build a shop in the beginning just win some repeat customers.
4.Amazon needs marketing as well. Ads or free products both help appeal new customers, both are requiring financial support.
Either way to proceed a business isn’t an easy way, both are taking enormous encourage to get started, especially when the economic keeps going down. However, grow a business in a brand new area and enjoy the joy the unpredictable things would bring to us is totally another taste. Let’s enjoy!
