We were looking for an online business…
We were looking for an online business model that made sense to us. Our biggest challenge was our 'day job' and trying to manage a business at the same time. ARC provided the opportunity to achieve that goal. The entry fee is a bit steep, but I understand the need. What I found refreshing is that they are as interested as you are in success. They have standard procedures to help you through the process to get started, but they could use some refinement. After we got started, you need to be comfortable with letting them drive the process to get your store going. They do a good job of weekly updates on the progress. There are a lot of considerations to run a successful store in Amazon, and they do a good job of navigating it for you. We are currently 3 months in and sales have been over $10k. This is not bad considering that is the same 3 months we are in a probation period with amazon. I am taking the next step to increase our float to purchase more inventory and I am looking forward to the next chapter in our business relationship. If you are in a similar situation, this is a good investment opportunity, and ARC is a good partner!
