Here, there, and everywhere. Where is your product made? How do you get it packaged and to your customer? Operations and distribution are sometimes more critical than financing in the business process.
Who is my customer and how do I reach them? Identify the market niche for your product or service. Brainstorm the myriad of marketing choices and how to keep your product on their mind.
