When do I know when my MVS is ready to start contacting suppliers?
There is a temptation to continue improving your website at the end of week 3 instead of pushing on and getting your first suppliers signed. The program advice is to put together a simple, professional and easy to navigate MVS (minimum viable store) only. This is so that you don't slow down your momentum trying to perfect your store.
Once you have your store to the same level as shown in the program, you can be confident that it is professional enough to start signing suppliers.
You'll have plenty of opportunity to make improvements to your store down the line however it is a lower priority task than signing suppliers and adding products.
You can get started and make lots of sales without spending too much time on your store's appearance!
