aiyo..you don't frighten her leh...it's her first time although it might be true..
yes, wait for the goods to arrive first and check if everything in fine. take it step by step. there's no rush..everybody does have a dream and for me it's the same like yours..having a own shop. My first step was to sell on line which didn't work cos how many working mummies r so free to sit infront of the PC and shop? Frankly Singapore is a very convenient place to do shopping and if i have the time i would rather take the excuses to go down town & shop. Next i move to those boxes and rented 4 boxes to try my things but again it doesn't work Dunno why so "SWAY". Next i tell myself i'm going to try pushcart and work myself there....So take things easy and step by step. there's alot of hardwork...

WOW! 4 boxes. You really daring. Because renting a box is not easy. I also very suay. 1st batch of goods, i was hit by currency rate. Japanese yen went up and my goods cost price went up! OMG! Hahas. rented box also did not move out at all! Sian. Then now try all kinds of ways. Bo bian. Such things need to really have the will and motivation and courage to move on! Passion will be needed to keep burning!

Start off with a online site first, registering with those blogspot/livejournal and such cost you nothing, all you need is to do plenty of uploading to the site and promote it to your target audience. Yes, is good to try out flea and bazzar, if your product range is suitable for pasar malem you can pm me,I have most contacts of them,my dad is a vendor selling fruits but be prepared to pay a bit of sum.one day or few days flea would be good, but with the right location too, I have been to some which easily give me hundreds in a few hours but there are some which gives you nothing at all..box rental is a good try out platform too,i myself is starting my 8 shelves unit at parco@millenia next week, and I am spending almost a month for preparation already things don't come easy.a good planning can take you a long way (; just some of my rants hopes it help (;

ct,

In short term, you may advertise. However, it may become more and more expensive in the long run.

It may take sometimes to get traffic to your site. If you need traffic urgently, you may approach SEO company, but it is costly (It may range from 3-4 digits monthly for few keywords).

Corinne

Free sites such as blogspot/ livejournal you don't need to pay anything to use it. Or webs/webbly each have their own functions. Hmm upload means upload pictures, in online shopping we don't provide customer with actual products so a pictures tells a thousand words. So you gotta do a lot of uploading of your pictures to the site. I have not seen any site that sells without pictures. Haha, downloading may be in terms of editing tools. Or what ever you need, shopping cart or what.
