Seanij Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Well, as you all know i've been thinking about getting myself invested into the hookah business scene and I just contacted an egyptian supplier on his prices and such for wholesale.

mathuv Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 thought u meant an actual shop oops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeppyrkr Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 honestly really good option and i shouldn't give this away but ebay has yet to see any myas, kms, mzs, ect so that would make very easy way to start out, i was thinking about contacting mya for distribution for this purpose and to sell locally.

OBY Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Add me on the list as another person to jump on the bandwagon... Online store and community... seperate businesses but one if you catch my drift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Devils Playground Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 I have some advice. If you are going on line lise my contact info. If you are doing it strictly as a shop in your town I will gladly help. Just a small note for all the new comers out there thinking that open a site and they will come. I spend $1000 a month on advertising. Well need I say more?The only thing another on line dealer will more then likely do if he is not bringing people to the game of hookah smoking is become another bottom feeder on line. We own a shop and bring new people to hookah litteraly daily. That improves the over all customer base. If all you plan to do is go look heres 5,000 people that smoke hookah heres my new customer base I will just say watch out. Price wars is a rich mans game and you have alot of dealers that don`t feed their families from their sites.Just a (angery) thought.Goos to anyone new to the game but remember bring something to the smoking community other then another site. Open a shop learn the products and then play on line. With out extensive knowledge you will be pushing stuff based on I hope they are happy with that. The loser in that game sad to say usually is the end user.Enough from the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OBY Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Thanks devil... I plan to expand the knowledge of the local shops... hopefully I can help expand their product base and hopefully help them get hookah well known. Other than that I got some cool plans.

Johnny_D Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 I actually kind of agree with Neal (TDP)I would suggest that there is allmost saturation in the hookah market right now. I can't imagine more vendors is actually what the community needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunkel! Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 I'm not sure how that would work for you. Seeing you live in Malta the shipping would be insane to get something to the U.S. I'd think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing you live in Malta the shipping would be insane to get something to the U.S. I'd think.I had this self same thought last night. Your only market is malta probably as there are quite a few good european suppliers allready.I'm sorry to say it Sean but it looks more like a pipe dream than a reality.
