A great article on the best business industries to enter into during the year 2016 was just published in INC magazine. Drone manufacturing, sustainable building materials, and virtual reality simulators are just a few of the new industries booming for new competitors looking to differentiate themselves. However, one industry listed in this years article was also listed in last years article.
I find it extremely interesting for food e-commerce/analytics to be listed again this year for one of the best business industries to enter. One of the main reasons I started working on Milkman Grocery Inc. was because I read last years article from INC on the best industries to enter. Again, food e-commerce keeps showing up at my front door.
The author does a great job answering many of the questions about skills needed for the industry, barriers to entry the industry, developing a following in the industry , competition, and downsides of the industry as a whole. It really is a great read, especially for someone like myself who needs to see the reality of it all. I have be in operations for two straight days now which is very exciting for me!
I have gotten lots of support from family and friends spreading the word on social and "word-of-mouth", but still have not been able to get an order. I did not expect to get an order this early in the process. One of the skills I think the article did not go over at all for this industry is patience. Very important for any new business, but especially this one!
I plan on documenting most of the business updates, and all the openings for Milkman Grocery Inc. right here on this blog. I have gotten a lot of traffic and would love more comments and shares as we continue to gain popularity on social. Please let everyone you know in Massachusetts that grocery delivery services are open for the state with Milkman Grocery Inc! Please call the number on the many adds listed on Facebook and Twitter, or message the grocery list to one of those social accounts. Being specific will make the process much more efficient and timely (meaning please mark Brand and Quantity on grocery list).
I am very excited for this venture, and the possibilities that can come from this idea! This article is just another sign I am making the right choice with Milkman Grocery Inc. The article states that about 90 companies offer food e-commerce/delivery services right now in the US.
Now there are 91 companies ;)
