• Determine exactly what it is you want to sell in the first place. If you have a product, then you may already be visualizing the diversification that you can do at a later date. For example, if you are selling stickers, you may decide to branch out into business cards. It’s the natural order of things in business, because you want things to be a complete success.

Some people like to make handmade cards, but if you’re not particularly crafty it may not be the best option for you. Once you have determined what you can sell, you can make a list of the materials that you need to create the products and then start working on a budgeting system to figure out what you can charge other people for them. This is super important if you want your budget to be a positive one.
• Make sure you are providing excellence. Regardless of the product or service that you do provide your customers, you have to ensure that it is excellent.

Remember, the customer is the one you are trying to impress, so if they give you feedback that you choose to ignore, don’t be shocked if you are not actually impressing them anymore.

• Give out some freebies. Products, but tasters of what’s to come. By offering freebies, you are showing people that you care about their opinions and the company in general.
