How tough is the competition in the market you are considering? If the competition is too tough, you may need to think about starting the business in a different area or even start a completely different business instead.

Studying the Market

After you've evaluated your local competitors, the next step is to learn from folks who are already in business. If you think owners of nearby advertising and promotional balloon businesses will give you advice, think again. Why would they want to educate a future competitor?

However, an entrepreneur who owns an advertising and promotional balloon business outside of your community will be much more likely to talk with you, as long as they don't view you as a competitive threat. In fact, they are often very willing to share startup advice with you. If you are persistent, you can find a business mentor who is willing to help you out.
