From great ideas to real business, any advice?

RedLemon

I have a few good business ideas, but found it hard to start a real business,
I have been thinking about importing something that can be rarely found in Irish market,
( Bags for Brown bin, Disney Wall paper for children's room, etc. )
I can buy them from China at extremely low price, but have no idea how to sell them in Ireland.

My last option would be door-to-door sell,
Before doing that, Is there anything else I can try?
eg. How/Where to approach wholesaler for Irish shops?
May I contact those supermarket chains Directly? eg. Dunnestore,Tesco

Any advice will be highly appreciated.

Doubt that the big chains will talk to you. They want to buy from businesses that offer them lots of product lines. Don't have the time for dealing with lots of little operations. Exception would be if you had the modern-day version of gabbage-patch dolls. But that's unlikely.

Beware of the disney stuff. Likely to be unlicensed rip-off.

hi

the bags for the brown (compost) bin are available in all of the supermarkets in galway, as these are all chains of large companies i suspect that all supermarkets in ireland stock similar products.

as with disney wallpaper, more than likely knock-off stuff but otherwise availble from b&q
