Hello forum members, how are you? Im currently in the process of opening up an art supply aimed at urban/street artists, writers, students, and everyone in between. I have a few questions for you and would be mucho appreciative if you helped out. Im trying to get the ball rolling and come up with a business plan to get a loan but so far am running into a road block with the American distributor of Montana gold Macphersons. They wont give me the wholesale prices until I have a storefront and I cant have a storefront until I get the loan and to complicate it even further, I cant get the loan until I get the prices from distributors. See the catch 22 Im in? Anyways, after lurking and searching old threads I found a post that listed the wholesale on Montana gold at 4.79 but you must sell it at 7.20. I was wondering if thats still the case or has it changed, increased, decreased?
Part 2, I would really like some input from the graff community to see what THEY want in a supply store? What would really make you want to shop at my joint as opposed to another? My place will be located in the Midwest but will be doing online sells so I wanna know what y'all are looking for so I can have it. My goal is to be the BEST in the MIDWEST! Best customer service, best prices, best assortment, no gimmicks, snitches, games, etc. Just straight up supplying you with what you need. Im counting on the community to throw in some input so we can step up the game here. Thanks!
-Your future supply store.
