Is Hip Hop Really the Fad?
I don’t think I should tell anyone this economy is troublesome and many people have been having a pretty hard time. I lost my position about 4 months back when the facility where I was employed closed down 2 of their production lines and my brother in law, Barney got his final notice last month when his office commented that they were closing the doors forever.
Both of us spent a fair period of time and energyattempting to find new roles but with absolutely no success. However, we were clear on the fact that we still needed income to pay our bills and support our families so Barney and I decided to go into business for ourselves.
We had no clear concept on what this effort would be as my only real skill and experience was in producing washing machines and Barney had worked as a quality controls inspector at a candy plant. However, my young neighbor convinced us that rap music, rappers and that hip hop approach to life was the latest expansion trend in our area today. Now I must admit that both Barney and I agree the entire’rapper scene’ is just plain foolish but if it makes cash then who are we to argue.
Somehow we decided to go after the jewelry segment of the hip hop market with the plan that we could start off rather small and just offer our goods for sale at flea markets till we could afford to open a regular store. So, our next task was to find a wholesale hip hop watches outlet.
We quickly discovered we had a major problem in that we were a new business with no track record and no credit score which meant that no-one would sell us any inventory excepting cash. They were all very mannered to assure us that credit purchases would be possible after we were established but it was all going to be COD at the start. We started scrambling then to find no credit check cash loans.
Well, we ultimately got our funding together. Not really as much as we wanted but enough to at least buy some starter inventory and get the project rolling and we had also found some promising wholesale outlets that we presumed we could deal nicely with. However, none of these wholesale vendors was in out city so we were going to require to travel which meant making airline and hotel reservations.
Getting the airline reservations was very easy and most of the hotels now subscribe to a hotel internet marketing system with online reservations that made dealing with them also pretty simple.
