Hi all,
I guess this is the place to get feedback on my ideas from a variety of people (ie. not just my family).
So I have 3 main business ideas and they are sort of related but not completely.
1. Online store with cute & funky products including Japanese inspired stuff.
My name for the store is 'moshi moshi baby' which I found out has been used previously but it is not in use anymore.
When I mentioned the name to my sister she screwed up her nose at me and said 'but your not Japanese' so of course that started to put some doubt in my mind about my idea.
2. Working on this online store got me thinking that there are other mums out there who have websites & online stores they need set up too. I thought I could also run a business providing this service. I have an IT and multimedia background and have been making websites almost half my life now.
3. I enjoy making invites for birthday parties, etc in photoshop so I thought that could be another service I could offer. I have also started making some templates of invite designs in my spare time.
So clearly you can see maybe I have too many ideas. Should I focus on just one or are they all possible? I thought the online store would be a good example of my work but then there are more start up costs involved with that one as I would need to buy stock.
Because I initially just had the online store idea I went ahead and organised a business name and domain so I have invested some money in it already.
I thought I could use the name and add 'design' to it to make a design component to my business to include the web design and photo invites. Or would it be better to run them under different names.
My other name I like is 'Happy Giraffe Design' or is that too unprofessional? Should I use my real name in the business name?
I think my message may be getting too long now so I better stop.
Thanks in advance for any advice you have
