Join all the local FB groups for your area and use the Nextdoor App and put yourself out there. Be clear who you are what you can do. May take time to get traction. I see post all the time if people that need store bought stuff assembled like gazebos, kids play set and random things. Also presentation matters. I called one of the posters for electrical work and the way he presented himself I could wait to get him to leave plus I felt he was over charging me. As we casually talked he kept lower and lowering the price and I hadn’t even asked. We did not do business

Not a business but a product. Lunch box that has a plate.

Sell and ship premium mangoes. Not a complex problem to solve. Except through a very few sellers, most people do not have access to the mangoes I can provide. Indian mangoes,Thai mangoes, new varieties and classic mangoes.

Mangoes. I want to sell and people want to buy. Last season I sold 23 varieties. I have over 30 varieties growing

The first step is doing something. Just do something and often the next steps will present themselves. I started a year ago in my hobby business but I treat it seriously and am always trying to think and act on what to do. I do get in phases of less proud i have the regular 9 to 5

 

What should I be doing to prepare for sales and increase my business /brand awareness.
Background: 2 years ago I was encouraged to sell some mangoes and I sold 12 boxes for shipping. After that summer a business was born. Last summer I sold 160 boxes. Between the first and second summer, I created a website, LLC, collaborated with 2 small SM personalities that had followings, made some marketing materials, paid for a 2 consultations with industry experts, created a YouTube and probably other things I don’t remember. So now it’s off season. What can I do to get ready for next summer? What can I do to improve?
