Is the established competition doing a good job? It's important to understand their strengths and weaknesses and think through how you'll stake up against those established businesses.

Learn from Others Who Are Already In This Space

Once you've finished assessing the competion, the next step is to speak with somebody who is already in the business. If you think owners of nearby advertising balloon and signage businesses will give you advice, think again. Why would they want to educate a future competitor?

Fortunately, somebody who runs an advertising balloon and signage business in a different city may be more than happy to give you a few tips, after they realize you reside far away from them and won't be stealing their local customers. In that case, the business owner may be more than happy to discuss the industry with you. In my experience, you may have to call ten business owners in order to find one who is willing to share his wisdom with you.
