- Make sure that you have a plan and have a vision for how you want that to work. Even if it means just you want to product, you're trying to do a product market fit for a product, I think it's just really, really important to have a set of clear expectations that you need to go in.
- We were one of the very few sellers that concentrated on the volleyball category with access to those brands. And so when we started on the marketplaces, we were a reseller, but our competition was probably 90%, less of what it is now. So we were just taking advantage of greenspace that we saw, and we had access to the product.
