First time poster on sways but been reading up for a long time.
I am a small time shaper in QLD Australia and have been shaping and glassing my boards and selling them to mates for the last few years.
Business name - DS Shapes (instagram - DS_Shapes)
This is only part time for me at the moment as I am also attending university full time but I am really keen to increase my production volume and start selling a few boards to shops.
I have no idea how to go about doing it? My boards are quality and I have received good feedback about them so this should not be an issue. Most shortboard/fish shapes are turning out around $230, what would be a reasonable mark up price to expect? Is it best to just cold call shops and ask?
Sorry for all the questions but would appreciate any help or advice
Cheers, Dan
