Hey foundooors, need some advice. I have an opportunity to be in a consignment store near me. Rent is $200/mo at a 3mo contract. The problem with other retailers is that candles are so saturated, so unless I’m first in the shop, most consignment stores will not accept me. It is in a semi popular mall but I’m uncertain of the food traffic and if it’s the right demographic because it’s mostly upper/middle class/young professionals/families. I do feel the urge to physically get in front of customers though to work on my messaging, but the alternative is that I just booth at craft markets (each craft market is around $150-200 a day anyways). What questions should I ask the owner to make sure it’s the right fit?

I'd think of it through the lens of "increasing luck surface area". Maybe the right person needs to stumble on these things, or something else will come of it. Can you think of better ways to spend $600 to increase your luck surface area?

Good perspective. Being bootstrapped I’m always thinking about how I expect X dollar to turn into XX dollar. At this stage though I think I need to take bigger bets. I spoke to another CPG founder that told me to bootstrap another organic method like TikTok since it’s basically free. Then when I get to x amount of followers on TikTok I spend money on stocking at Amazon, so it’ll drive organic search and that’s where I can spend my $600. I am lucky though I don’t have to think about whether or not to try because yes2crypto sponsored the shelf space for me 😄 https://warpcast.com/samantha/0xc501023d
