The the e-cigarette business is not as easy in a local location. Online seems to attract a nice customer base with enough advertising, great price, and good customer service. Sadly enough, the same does not work for too well in a retail location.
Reasons? Here they are:
- Many places prohibit or dislike the sales of cigarette products (even if they contain no tobacco)
- Retail location, utilities, etc is too expensive
- Retail prices are naturally higher than online prices
- 7-Eleven selling e-cigs for $19.99
- Too many people think it's a hassle to own one
The list can go on and on. To the general public who is trying their first e-cig or heard about it here and there, many people will compare prices to 7-11. It is very difficult trying to convince them that a true DSE901 or Joye510 is much better than a $20 POS you can buy at a retail store. To the customers, it just sounds like another salesman trying to make a sale.
