    thank you for replies! I am only 16 years old right now, so I do not think I will be getting a storefront any time soon. As for A+ certification, I will definitely be looking in to that! Thank you for the tips!

    >> It is said that 1 person will tell at least 20 other people about your business, if not more - so 1 lost customer due to poor service can effectively cause you to lose 20 more customers and vice versa. <<

    Very true.
    A happy customer is supposed to tell 4 people and unhappy customer will tell about 20.........


    Also I used to talk to the suppliers (that gave good after sales service) and try to get a wholesale arrangement to get cheaper prices. For example a set of speakers were $50 retail and $16 wholesale.........

    In Australia there is a governemt grant to small business called the New Enteprise Assistance Scheme ($180 per week). Anything like that in the states?
