If you were starting your own supplement store....

[the.gladiator1987]

What products would you start out with? Defnitely got to have the basics but you ALSO cant be like every other store.

I think having stack is important too.

I would start off with a fat burner, protein, creatine....

But then you gotta have something that makes you stand out. What could this product be? Im trying to research still but open to any ideas and suggestions!!

You want to beat all of the online stores.. Find the cheapest prices or products and then drop your price 1$, have a flat shipping rate and become sponsors of boards.. But, you better have a good amount of startup money and some advertising guru friends.

hard to beat the rest of our prices, most supplement lines have a minimum price you can sell at and if you break that then you get cut off and cant sell them anymore. Then you piss them off and word spreads, not a good thing. But sure if you want to try an online store beat orbits, nutras, bb.com, massnutrition all there prices and you should be good. Oh also get ready to drop over 30k a year in advertising just on forums, then another 5k ish on some good SEO. Stores are not cheap to be succesful. Just being real.

I hear ya man...but a couple things

-It would be MY products. So I would NOT have a minimum price to sell it at.

-I am not spending 30k on advertising, no need. Im not trying to pull in 100k a year profit, just maybe 500 bucks profit a month? not too unrealistic. Then of course maybe later I could expand

My brother has an online store and he makes 50k net a month. Its not sports nutrition, but he knows manufacturers, web design people, and he will fund it for now and just take in the profits until he gets paid half of what it cost to get the store running, and then we will split it 50/50

Are you talking about A Supplement retailer. Or your own product line?

Nevermind, you answered it, haha.

And make sure you have everything tested by Gawd first.
Can't stress the importance of that enough.

Besides that, one thing I'd like to see if a Post Workout additive.
So a flavorless creatine, carb, etc. mix, that can just be tossed into whatever protein you have.

 

[the.gladiator1987]

perfect if its your own line and you have the connections do it up. Personally yeah creatine product, protein, then you need to set yourself apart, but dont get to innovative cause then people will freak out and not know what the product is or understand its purpose and not buy it. its a fun fine line to walk lol.

Sweet! I def have connections so I feel like I need to make the most of this opportunity

Definitely gonna have some protein, creatine and I'm already designing my own fat burner But I need to start thinking of some things that will set me apart...funny because even a really good label can set a supplement apart.
