Ok I know my title sounds weird so let me explain Do you have offline and online businesses? What are some of the challenges of having 2 businesses in seperate areas
The challenge is on how to balance your time. Time management is very crucial in the two types of businesses.
Have you heard of the team selling the book Delivering Happiness online and then doing the offline marketing riding on The Happiness Bus? they did great!
Online and offline business are interrelated and interact on each other, though different in form, this two are in essence the same. Thus, I think the most important thing is how we do business with one another. It doesn't matter about the form of business.
Hi Gmoney, I only do my online business for the moment. I have sold my offline activities. Its a question of time management and getting things in control. regards, LASSE
We have both - an online eCommerce store, as well as a brick and mortar location. I find that the 2 work hand in hand and enhances business. Do keep in mind in order to succeed online, whether you are selling products or services, you need to be extremely competitive. Setting up the online store took a lot of time and planning initially, but once you have it going, it can really be worth it.
It depends on what works for you. Our company does both, but most of our leads come from online. Knowing what will work and what won't is where marketing comes into play. Do your research! It will pay off.

You can certainly grow your business in hopes of adding more operations down the road and you can buy new businesses with the intent of growing them organically.
