Hi everyone,
I have been selling my custom made toy products solely online (eBay) for the past few years. I've been looking into expanding the reach a bit and possibly sell at malls. We're planning on starting in one location (our local mall) and rent a vendor kiosk / selling stand, and see how well it does. If all goes well or see if there is potential in the kiosk, then we plan on doing the same thing at different locations. Since I still work full time at my job at the moment, this venture would require me to hire seasonal employees to sell for me during the times we open the kiosk.
So, my questions are:
1.) Has anyone in here done this kind of thing before and if so, what's your experience with it?
2.) How do I get started with hiring employees for seasonal/part time work?
3.) My business is in CA, so I'm not sure if that makes any difference.
4.) Are there any services available out there where we can hire someone to help us get in the "right track"? In other words, possibly like a consultant or something like that, just to make sure that all is in order (HR, Legal, Accounting, etc) before we actually jump in?
Thank you all for your time and any advice or insight at all would be great. Thank you.
