Description:
I am affiliated with Specialty Merchandise Corp. of CA. I am looking for the ability to mass market my business through SMC's direct mail program as well as establish my own ecommerce site, also through SMC. I would also like to be able to acquire sufficient financing so that I can work just parttime outside the home instead of full time so that I can also take advantage of going to swap meets, street fairs and the like so that I can get real product out to customers as well as the ecommerce. As the owner, I have over 30 years of retail experience---over 25 years of that in management. I feel that gives me the knowledge and ability needed to make this venture succeed.
