Morning all


Just looking for a bit of inspiration from you guys, I live on the iom and have been searching for years for that ‘ certain product’ or ‘service’ that would take off / sell really well.

We do seem to be a bit slower than the uk mainland when it comes to new products and services

I was wondering if anyone can give me a few ideas of any new business’s in your area that seem to be doing well ,for example a friend of a friend started drop shipping flowers from a contact in the uk to the iom and 1 year later they have opened up a flower shop and are doing really well, another is a flat pack furniture drop shipper who now has his own warehouse ,

I don’t expect anyone to give me any contact details as iam more than happy to do my own sourcing of suppliers

We do have a bit of capital and a bit tied up in stock as we started up a 2 tone bb gun website 5 months ago and it took off really well as we ended up on front page of google but with most of our sales coming from the uk ! funny as our main customer targets where the local residents but things have slowed down and I want to get my fingers in some more pies .


Cheers
