I will tell you that starting up a new, home-based, on-line business is not for sissies!!!! So much time has been spent on registrations, licenses, website building (most frustrating) and product/market research (not to mention keeping all the user names and passwords straight). However, just because it is frustrating does not mean I will be giving up! FAR FROM IT. The frustration will fuel and re-fuel my energy levels to make it work - and make it work successfully.
My challenge right now is copying and pasting from the company website's catalog to my own pages for the bamboo products. I have made an agreement with a Texas company to sell golf shirts, men's and women's bathrobes and towel sets made from 100% bamboo or 70% bamboo and 30% cotton. I have ordered some of the towels to try, and I expect them to be fantastic. I have a bamboo shirt that I got last year, and I LOVE it.
Properties of bamboo are its lightness, absorbency, anti-microbial properties and the fact that it will not stick to your skin, even when it is hot.
Today I have an appointment with my website mentor via telephone. I am hoping that he can get me on the right track with the product posting. The merchant/checkout page will be up very soon, also. Keep watching www.greenflashdesigns.com.
Have a great day! Colleen
