I've recently purchased a domain--jidoohanbaiki.com. Jidoohanbaiki= Japanese vending machine.
I've had the mind to invest in japanese style vending machines and bring them over to the states. They have some awesome variety and they are always innovative! I think however establishing the business online rather than a regular storefront would give me a better platform to promote and sell them.
What are some of the pros and cons do you see in going strictly online rather than physical store?What do you think?

There are obviously many pros and cons to this, but a big one is the ability to showcase your product to millions of people rather than a small amount of people in the area surrounding you actual storefront. A big drawback though is the fact that people are not able to see, touch, fully experience the product before they purchase. It's much easier to sell something to someone when they can visit it in person, also the trust issue. I always prefer doing business face to face with an individual. I almost never purchase a high dollar item online unless it is from a large company that has been around a long time that I can feel secure with. Good luck with your new business.
