Becoming a distributor/retailer

[muse-phoenix]

for your website have a "design a scoot" where you can choose all the parts for it. like this

the little kids love that sort of thing...

good idea, ill do a flash thing for colors too

 

[Derek Seay]

Get boxes clothing and EMP, it'd be a big hit

and !NESK, V-Code (Cooper's company, if it still exists)

 

[Joe Riley]

I hit up Cooper for a shirt when the apparel first dropped and he never got back to me about it.. Pretty disappointed haha. I'm not sure if they have any shirts and/or plan on making any.

 

[Bear Grylls]

Get all the apparel you can. Stores NEVER have any apparel in stock.

Keep pegs, wheels, bearings, grip tape, and grips in stock. People are always looking for these, whereas bars/decks/etc. are less needed because they last longer.

Get TRENDING products and keep them in stock. Addict products, Blunt AOS v2s, District Dk-2s, Radderalls, pegs/plegs, etc.

Btw, retailer*. Not dealer lol.

Pretty much what joe said here. He knows his shit.
Ive been looking for pegs/bearings for a while

 

[alexallupinthis]

why does everyone want proto so bad. the only parts that are even that great IMO are wheels decks and scs/clamps.

and fork and bars, just because the forks arent aluminum and the bars arent waay trendy doesnt mean they arent amazing, proto 4 lyfe <3

 

[Joe Riley]

For a while I wanted to open up a store, but at my age without proper financing and efficient ways of transportation it wouldn't be successful. Maybe in the future.

[Kieran Mayhew]

I have faith in you Muse, but two things.

First, create a good brand image, a nice website, and a good logo, not something done on paint. I don't know how you are with graphic design and web development, but if not, get someone else to do it for you. People will be deadset on ordering from you if your website looks snazzy.

Second, don't give in to all the people asking to make a team. Wait until the business actually turns in some profit, there is nothing worse than a company that makes a team, and can't support its riders.

Good luck.
