The last few weeks we have learned a lot as we
- set up the shop
- I opened shops on Etsy, eBay, Instagram and Facebook
- all the administrative things that have to be taken into account, such as business registration, insurance, having a side job approved by the employer, tax advisor, ...
- Establishment of a supplier base and first orders from home and abroad, including customs procedures, ...
As a “small business” or as it is called in German, “small business owner”, we only have limited resources at our disposal.
We want to give you a little insight into how we organized ourselves with these few resources:
Goods Receipt:
- Our billiards room was converted into our small logistics center
- The pool table is now our workplace for receiving goods
- We put a small photo studio on the table
Storage:
- We repurposed old IKEA cabinets from my daughter's room as shelves and
- ordered additional mobile shelves
- We also thought about the accessories.
Goods issue:
- The pool table also functions as a packing table
- We recycle the packaging material that we have saved from the incoming goods department in order to generate as little waste as possible!
We would be happy if you would support our "Small Business"!
We already have a nice first range of minerals, decorative items and accessories.
More is on the way!
