Yall all know im always on the business shit.
So recently I was getting some stuff together for the kids back on the island and thought.....

why cant everyone have the information to at least see it and think about it.
You never know who could start their own brand,.

Why wait…..see how easy it is to start your own brand with tax return money or help your homie clean that drug money.....just joking.

but seriously.
First lets get a name and then incorporate your new company.

Second, get your logo…heres a few companies you can work with….but you can also find your own.

Play around with them sites.

They have many things that you can slap your logo on and create your own brand.

Fitteds, skullys, visors, slides, swimsuits, weave, earphones.

You too can have $100+ sneakers. Just let your mind float. Get high if you need to..shit I might help a few niggas. I said might.

@elzo start your own brand on the ivory coast.

@Goldie start your own brand in panama.

@Azlyn Comience su propia marca desde donde usted.

@konceptjones start your own brand of wifi equipment in belize

Start your own mobile phone brand

Now do your due diligence. these are just a few sites with a few ideas.
i make no guarantees....but at least look into it more than what i provided and lets see what you came up with.

Take a gamble.

You dont know what you cant do if you never tried to do it.

lets help each other out.

each one teach one.
Brainstorm and see what you can do....whats legit and whats not.

a better way of shipping. think about your return policy. hire ya mom as a customer service rep.
store stock in your basement.
find a distributor.

The skies the limit.
At least be able to say you failed or it didnt work out.

regroup, hit the drawing board again...see what didnt work and do something different.


Wakanda aint worried bout yall.....

you dont have to be a genius to start your own brand.
its enough room for everyone to make money
 
I like your idea, and..

I think there are plenty of legit and readily available ways to gain bulk product and slap a logo on it. But it takes alot of work to be able to see returns from what you're selling.

I mean Lavar Ball has his son playing in the NBA, and two sons overseas. He's been on plently of platforms, and his name is well known. And his BBB still hasn't really taken off like that.

How can someone with not nearly the same level of exposure, really feel confident about putting a good bit of money in their brand?

It's very ambitious where your head is at, I just think more resources and knowledge of how to build and push that brand has to accompany what your saying.
 
I want to get a food truck making Ketogenic food and call it "The Keto Wagon".

Then i would work my way up to having my own restaurant. I assume the first one would be tiny, so i would call that one the "Keto Shack"
 
Takes a lot of dedication... and the realization that Rome wasn’t built in a day. Gotta start somewhere tho. Dope thread.

thank you.

lol.

this is where a start up advertising company/marketing companies come in.
also a little clever marketing....IG thots, local rappers at shows, convention booths, pop up shop partnerships, give aways/.

Also ...understand who you are targeting and your demographic and understand what marketing is.

Pew Research Center reported that this group is now the largest living generation in the U.S. with more than 75.4 million members, and immigration is expected to boost this number to 81.1 million by 2036.

With such a large consumer base, it makes sense that companies want to target millennials. As this generation continues to mature, brands will need to meet their evolving needs and situations to effectively market to them.

Fifteen members of Forbes Coaches Council each shared one way companies can capture the modern millennial through their marketing.

Members of Forbes Coaches Council discuss the best way to market to millennials.





1. Be Transparent

Millennials love transparent organizations. Attract them by sharing behind-the-scenes information about what your company is working on and inviting them to give feedback about your product or service (including a freebie also helps!). Create short videos and share high-quality photos of your products, clients or employees on social media so they can relate to and connect with your company. - Meghan Godorov, Meghan Godorov Consulting, LLC


2. Get Millennial Input On Your Marketing Strategy


If there is a target generation you are desiring to reach, get out there and connect with them personally through focus groups or surveys with incentives. Millennials are more concerned with the experience rather than companies' traditional methods of marketing. Millenials must be entertained while they are educated. Marketing that incorporates both will surely reach them. - Maleeka T. Hollaway, The Official Maleeka Group, LLC.

3. Meet Them Where They Are

We need to remember that millennials communicate differently. We need to meet them where they are at. When doing a marketing campaign, using social media, gaming, fun apps and texting are crucial to grabbing their attention. We need to be thinking out of the box with our marketing strategy when our target market is millennials. - Amy Modglin, Modglin Leadership Solutions

4. Challenge Their Creativity

Have a contest to improve an existing commercial or correspondence. Tap their creative brains to make what you are doing better and more inventive. Allow them to add to the story and conversation and recognize them in real, tangible ways for doing this and you may find out that you win them, their attention and their expertise. - John O'Connor, Career Pro Inc.


5. Be Human And Tell A Good Story About Millennials

Millennials, like all others, are engaged by stories of people like us who go through journeys relevant to our lives. As such, a company's best asset is a compelling story arc of a millennial who's been a customer or employee. We want to see what it's actually like to use the product, engage with the brand, work in the company and see the company's mission and values in action. - Yuri Kruman, Master The Talk Consulting

6. Inspire Them To Act

Millennials need and want to learn, improve, and embrace opportunities, not only for themselves, but also for their families. They want to put their best selves forward, so marketing campaigns that engage and inspire them to act will be successful. This means a multichannel strategy will be necessary, using digital media and old-fashioned advertising that makes them think, feel, and do. - Barbara OMalley, Exec Advance LLC


7. Be Personal And Authentic

If you reach out in a very real and personalized manner, your interaction and engagement will lead to a better understanding of your brand. Think individualized experiences on social media! Great customer service equals great marketing. That authentic voice is what all people, millennials especially, are looking for. - Jennifer Oleniczak Brown, The Engaging Educator

8. Snap Them Up With Snapchat

Millennials are the dominant users of Snapchat, with college students ranking it as their first, daily online stop. To engage this population, it makes sense to get on Snapchat. Their audience responds best to an authentic, non-salesy, story-telling approach. With the right spokesperson and snap-reply engagement, a company can build trust, followers and customers. - Laura DeCarlo, Career Directors International

do a drawing of a kid with his finger in the hole of a wall stopping the leak....

get it

finger in the dike tampons......lol
 
I will be sending this to my lil brother. Really just to see how far he goes with it. If he jumps on it. I am going to help out. If he doesnt ........I fall back again.
 
you can have smartphones with your logo


but targets parents with young kids....let it be there first phone and make them cheap....they are only like $50 with branding each.
charge a $100 for the phone......you just doubled your money before other expenses.
 
@konceptjones
you can sell your products to your customers at a "discounted" rate and service contract along with it.
if the shit breaks just replace it.
 
That's actually a dope idea, a more PC version would be a creek between two mountains, with a damn built by beavers

Even make it look cute with the water navy blue, the mountains the color of Timbs, and the wood white stenziled in to symbolise the color of tampons
 
going in business is like the chicken and the egg


should you want to get in business first...then find something you like..

or do you like something so much that you want to go in business doing it....

i often see people wanting to go into business, but have no passion for what they're doing.....

i dunno.... maybe i'll sit this one out
 
@DOS_patos I have learned that not everyone wants or needs the headaches of running their own company. Especially if it gets passed the point of being just them. But everyone no matter what you do should think of themselves as a brand(or business) and think of your career in terms of your brand. It may change how you deal with your role and how you pursue opportunities.

cool...but if you dont try...how can you know you dont like it?

how do you know it will be hard if you never done it?

Living someone elses experience is not hurting anyone but the person taking on what they see as tough.

@King Du have you ever fought a nigga who knocked out someone in front of you? does that mean he can knock you out just because someone else aint good with their hands?
think TI and floyd.
ti aint care who floyd was and still wanted smoke.

if you dont believe in yourself....who will believe in you?
