I am thinking of starting my own business next year, I have been planning this since july of this year with a friend of mine.
We are thinking about opening a photography, piercings and tattoos studio to integrate these 3 services in only one place, since I have made some modeling stuff in the past, he is a photographer, his brother works with piercings and has a friend that works with tattooes, and since my brother is an accountant things will be easier for us.
And since I am an internet freak that does everything online, I already started to look for places that sell customized promotional and office products like calendars, pens, stickers, self inking stamps, business cards, etc…
It´s always more comfortable to buy things online and receive them in the comfort of my home then get a crowded bus and go to the center . But to buy online it´s also needed to do a good research, ask people we know that already needed the products and services we need, browse the net, till wefind a place we trust and that has good prices too of course.
And since my friends and I will start with little money, the more research I do to get good products with good prices the better and this is what I am doing now.
