Selling out of the Trunk of your Car

November 14, 2006

trunk.jpgI was reading an article on CNN about Organic Chocolate.  One portion of the article talks about a guy selling chocolate from the trunk of his car.  Yuck!  I would not buy chocolate from someone that opened up his trunk and was selling home made stuff.  Of course, it may be a metaphore for selling in farmers markets and such.  I am not sure.

That got me thinking though.  The Internet is the new trunk of your car.  I do not know if you are storing your products in a warehouse or under your bed.  If your Internet Trunk looks good, your price is good and your product is good, I am going to be happy and tell other people.  The Internet helps you take the shady out of very small businesses.  That means global buzz is possible for everyone.?

- Thank You!

    Is It the Trunk, What’s In the Trunk, Or the Guy Doing the Selling?

    I know, I know…the title makes no sense.  That is until you read Ron McDaniels post over at Buzzoodle, who makes an interesting point that the Internet is the new "trunk of the car" that you - or anyone…

    I must agree with the above…Very much true…I have started a movement/business and the internet has been my “car trunk” even though I continue to sell out of my car trunk…

Got something to say?
