I’m considering selling custom ID cards for Veteran Owned Businesses. I can also include custom design work. The machine is about $1,000. Do you think there’s demand for custom ID cards?

PO2 Richard D. Kitchen, MA That is a good question. I'm sure there are some Veteran Owned Businesses that would love to have Custom Made Business ID Cards, but it depends on the number of employees, how big the Veteran Ownd Business is, the cost per ID Card, etc.

PO2 Richard D. Kitchen, MA Sounds Great to Me. Whether it would be enough to be Self Sufficient? I really couldn't answer that, I don't have a Business Degree or a Degree in Economics.

See a need, fill a need.

Questions:
1) is there a big enough desire for the product?
2) can the desire justify the cost of the machinery?
3) can you charge enough to justify the startup costs without driving away customers?
4) can you keep production costs low enough to satisfy #3?

5) assuming you’re a monster success... does your production scale well?

Good luck! (I’m sure you’ve already thought if all this already)
