Shelly Grossman, Owner Of Shelly Belly Maternity, Offers Tips For A Brick And Mortar Start-Up

What are the first steps one needs to take to turn their concept into a reality?

Budget how much capital you need to first start the business (i.e, fixtures, merchandise, computers, etc.). Then leave yourself a cushion each month just to cover your rent as a safety net.

Are there particular resources you might share in setting up a new business?

Find a great bookkeeper. Develop a campaign to send direct mail postcards frequently. The postcards are my best form of advertising and response.
