New Vendor Tips, Gaining notoriety/trusted customer base

I am from an area with world famous marijuana and can confirm it is great. I would like to see this stuff on Agora but don't know where to begin as I see many trusted sellers already. Is there any way to build a nice customer base quickly aside from having killer product and customer service, or how long it would take? Any tips on stealth would also be appreciated aside from vacuum seal and hiding it in stuffed animals. Any ideas are appreciated that would help a new vendor provide great service. Thanks in advance :). PS perhaps a product with a good turnover rate in the online market, marijuana and mdma are famous here but have only considered weed. Thanks again.

1g samples will be your best friend when you start out, this will let people know you have "bomb" product (which you claim) and then will have people leaving reviews, the old saying of you gotta spend money to make money is true. give away 20-30 1g samples and think of it as a business expense and as marketing/advertising. if people like ur product they will leave reivews and they will come back again and again so you can easily make back the initial loss of doing samples...(normally for samples people just pay postage)

also, id advise you not to put stuff inside of stuff teddy bears, standard letter mail works best (hiding in plain sight is your best friend) just dont forget the basics.

have a packaging room where you only package orders, have another room where you keep ur product (keep them seperate, u want ur packaging room to be sorta like a "clean room" even the tinniest spec of weed on 1 layer of ur package can be what gets the package caught. you should try and use multiple layers (because weed smells) and also a visual barrier if you can (so 1 layer of clear plastic MBB, and 1 layer of mylar/silver visual barrier) so the package if accidentally opened/cut/ripped during transit wont get you into trouble.

remember to wipe down the outside of each layer with rubbing alcohol to remove any specs of the product you might of missed. also make sure you use whats called "pre" packing... lets say u put up listings for 3.5g 5g and 7g... you should initially pack 10 of each of those orders have them ready to go and make sure they are clean. then when an order comes in all you have to do is print off a label and drop it off in the mail. (faster mailing = faster shipping which is a big plus for customers)

once you get going just pick a day and make sure you spend ur spare time during that day "pre" packing ur orders for the next week / few days... this will save u so much time and hassle.

PS. wear two sets of gloves and make sure you change your clothes when entering and leaving the "clean room" trust me, it might seem like im being "over cautious" but if you wanna last long enough to hit your buyout goal, u gotta play this game smart. :)

finally, use a fake return address (because duh)

offering up some free samples for just the price of shipping usually works to get people interested in you. once the word is out that you have good bud and offer good service, it'll spread like wildfire and you won't know what to do with yourself because orders will be rolling in so fast. advertising here on reddit and on the .onion market forums works well to gain attention too.

it'll start off slow at first. you might not even get any orders the first week or two. but then people will start taking notice and eventually somebody will decide to take the risk and be the guinea pig. as soon as that person puts up feedback on your profile and a review on the forums, then you're off to the races.

one more thing... even if it's perfectly innocent just trying to drum up some business, don't put up shill reviews or pad your feedback in any way. people can tell and once they find out, your reputation as a vendor is fucked.

cheers!

Good MBB would be a nice and appreciated way to send things out.

Give a limited quantity of free or shipping onlt samples and then use escrow. Its as simple as that if your product, stealth, and shipping time are on point.
