- 2019 · six months
- Role
- School, Saturday job, first shop
- Key figure
- €1,000 revenue
Outcome
- About €1,000 in revenue, on about €1,000 of ad spend
- Local newspaper feature as one of the youngest founders in the district
- Learned a lot about marketing, margins and what to do differently next time
Situation
Car people love their cars, but there was hardly any merch showing their own car. I wanted to find out whether I could turn that into a small business.
What I did
- Set up the shop, registered as a sole trader
- Found an illustrator on Fiverr and ran the photo → drawing → print flow
- Ran the social media ads myself
