Boosting Business

Ask Daymond Add comments

Hey Daymond, I’m a clothing designer. I design jeans mostly, yet low on capitol so business is at a snails pace at the moment. My designs are great; lots of good response. What’s the best way to boost my business and gain capitol and exposure, and perhaps to find an investor?

Several different questions are asked; In regards to gaining exposure, social networking is probably the best way. You get the purest response from people who do not know you. Putting product into stores so that actual consumers, that do not have any interest just you, go in and pick up your product, solely. After this point, you then move towards making small sales, and when you get up to a sales point where you can show growth and steady revenue income on a small level, you then go after investors, depending on your needs. Most times, investors are not the most important thing, it’s the strategic investor. The person who can not only give u capitol, but someone who understands all aspects of the business.
Good luck
Daymond John

    Hi Daymond John.
    What a surprise to see your name when I googled my surname and found this site.

    It’s good to read your sound advice to prospective new businessmen.

    I wonder how you got your name, and whether Daymond is your first name or your surname. It’s my surname. My great-great (?) grand-father came out from England with his brother by sailing ship to Australia many a year ago. As far as I know I’m the last of my line, although there are a few “Daymond” listings still in the Australian phonebooks.

    It seems that you have made yourself rich financially, but I hope you have not lost your real friends because of this.

    I wish you every success,

    Bob (Robert John) Daymond.

    I like this question and I will follow this advice. I’m in the process of putting my product in stores. I don’t mind being patient and hustling to build a secure base. What are some tips for gaining website sells?
