Anne and others--Re: need opinion on business prospect

[Guest guest]

Thanks so much for all your opinions.I am really stuck on what is the

right thing to do.Her school has and will always come first.She is an

excellent student.We really cant afford the extra expense of a

patent.If it wasnt for getting more professional looking labeling

that what we can create on our computer,the whole prospect could

wait.Our labels look nice but just not like bought ones.Has that ever

been an issue with your products?

Anne, Thanks for the generous offer to link to her site.I may

seriously concider the offer.I have made web pages on free sites

before, but from what comments I have read on here having someone do

a paid site could be too expensive. I understand some HTML and have

played around with it, and could probably figure it out.But as far as

finding an inexpensive way to forgo the free sites, I dont know much

about that.Another thing that concerns me is if you have a site you

prob would have to be able to take credit cards and thats another

expense.Ones she couldnt afford if sales didnt work out, and Im not

sure how well internet sales do.

One thing I have concidered is that we live in a very rural area

and what ever the cousin may do, probably wouldnt affect this

area.Especially since she is just selling thru one shop right now and

got nice order from someone making gift baskets when they seen her

product in the store.Her bowls are 24 oz that we have been selling

for $8, since she only has about 3-4$ costs per bowl.

I really appreciate all your helpful thoughts on the matter I am

not jumping into anything.Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
