A few friends and I believe the nutrition business is booming. There are only a few MAJOR companies out there such as bodybuilding.com and dpsnutrition.com and the typical stores such as Vitamin Shoppe and GNC. Everyone is realizing that they need to get in shape and hit the gym with the aid of supplements. We personally have enough knowledge about what products and brands are out there. We have already sourced a few wholesale companies.
You might ask what we will do different from other companies. Honestly, I can't tell you I've thought much about it but to 'try' to provide better prices and quicker shipping.
What we want to do is start small with an online based store working out of our home/garages. I personally possess a good amount of computer knowledge and believe I can manage the osCommerce store. I'm an IT major and have worked with websites in the past.
What do you guys see for the future in this particular market?
Another issue is that we are college students still and while we have bright ideas, money is an issue. I know it is going to cost a lost initially. Any ideas of how much? 50k+? How do we go about funding this?
What I believe to be the biggest advantage on our side is that we are friends with WVU football star Owen Schmitt. He is going NFL and there is no doubt that he will support us. He will be KEY to marketing.
So any insights and tips will be greatly appreciated.:cheers:
