Hello everyone,
Its been a long time since I posted so I doubt anyone remembers me, but recently I have been in communication with a local LFS about helping them establish an online store this summer before heading back to college in September.
I have some experience vending coral online for different companies but I have a few questions for the veterans out there to make sure I get everything right, especially since its not my coral.
Is eBay a good way to go? Or would building a store specific site be worthwhile?
What packaging do you use? What shipping company is the most reliable? The cheapest?
Where do you obtain your packaging? How do you determine which coral requires which shipping method?
What common mistakes lead to corals being DOA, and where do you buy those cool little capsules that are used to protect frag plugs as they're shipped?
Also what are the best cameras, lenses, lense protectors, and settings for photographing the coral? I'd like to minimize post production as much as possible.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Connor
