Hey guys I'm brand new to this forum and just looking for advice and maybe a distributor/vendor.
So I have a local (trade day) in my town and was walking around the other day and noticed an open market that I could maybe fulfill. There was no knife booths. I mean some of the booths had a couple knives on the table but there wasn't any dedicated booths. I'm thinking there's some money to be made there and possibly a business in the making. I'm young and determined!! I live in the south and pretty much every adult male has a pocket knife in their pocket. So I'm thinking about renting out a booth and selling knives but I have no idea where to start. I just recently got put on disability and can't go back to work due to a very bad injury. I was in a car accident and can't walk without a walker. So I've got some questions....
Where do I buy bulk wholesale knives?
How many knives should I buy and how much should I spend?
What knives are popular and sell the best?
How could I draw in customer to the booth?
What are some good ways to display or set up my booth?
What should be my markup percentage?
Is this even a good business to be in?
Am I wasting my time?
Any information is greatly appreciated. I love knives and have a pretty good collection already. But I don't want to sell my personal knives. So I'm looking for a vendor..
