Hoping Bling Bling Turns Into Caching

I do not believe I should tell anybody that this economy is tough and many people have been having a fairly hard time. I lost my job about four months ago when the plant where I was working closed down 2 of their production lines and my brother in law, Barney got his final notice last month when his company announced that they were closing the doors completely.

Both of us spent a fair amount of time and energyon the lookout for new jobs but with absolutely no luck. However, we were clear on the fact that we continue to needed earnings to pay our bills and support our families so Barney and I decided to go into business for ourselves.

We had no clear idea on what this effort would be as my only real skill and experience was in manufacturing washing machines and Barney had worked as a quality controls inspector at a candy company. However, my young neighbor convinced us that rap music, rappers and that hip hop lifestyle was the latest growth trend in our country today. Now I must admit that both Barney and I agree the entire’rapper scene’ is just plain dumb but if it makes money then who are we to argue.

Somehow we decided to go after the jewellery segment of the hip hop market with the plan that we could start off rather small and just offer our stuff for sale at flea markets till we could afford to open a regular store. So, our next task was to find a wholesale hip hop earrings outlet.

We quickly discovered we had a significant problem in that we used to be a new business with no track record and no credit history which implied that no-one would sell us any inventory except for cash. They were all very respectful to reassure us that credit terms would be possible after we were established but it was all going to be cash on delivery at the start. We started scrambling then to find no credit check cash loans.

Well, we eventually got our money together. Not particularly as much as we wanted but enough to at least buy some starter inventory and get the project rolling and we had also found some promising wholesale outlets that we presumed we could deal nicely with. However, none of these wholesale sellers was in out city so we were going to require to go which meant making airline and hotel reservations.

Getting the airline reservations was very easy and most of the hotels now subscribe to a hotel internet marketing system with online reservations that made dealing with them also pretty simple.
