As this semester comes to an end, so does our business. We asked for $100 to start up. With that we used less than half to cover the cost of production, meaning buying the candy and packaging. However, we only received four orders. Our policy is that no one receives delivery until either my partner or I have received payment and we ask that they find us from 7-8 Am the day they would like it delivered. No one paid us even after we did deliver within the same week. Since then, we've received no orders and no money.
The most important thing we've learned through attempting to start a business is in order to have customers you have to create excitement and interest for the product or service. While our idea was a good one, we lacked in customer interest. Also, we needed to find a better way for people to pay us and follow through before we deliver.
Well, we tried. Say goodbye to Candy Express.
