A Good Source of Advice
After you've evaluated your local competitors, it's a smart move to have a conversation with someone who is in the business. Local competitors are not going to give you the time of day, mind you. The last thing they want to do is help you to be a better competitor.
However, an entrepreneur who owns an adhesive labels business in a location that is not competitive to you can be a great learning resource for you, given that you don't compete with them in their area. In fact, they are often very willing to share startup advice with you. It can take a while to find an entrepreneur who is willing to talk, but it's well worth the effort.

Franchising May Be a Better Way to Go
