Cigar market research

[Fshaw]

Hi all,

A friend of mine is considering opening a cigar shop. I offered to help him do a little market research on what is important to smokers.

To that end, I am designing a brief survey and was hoping some of you might be willing to participate. It is completely anonymous and won't take more than a few minutes of your time.

If you are willing to assist please send an email to cigarshopresearch (at) gmail (dot) com and let me know your preferred email address to receive the survey.

Thanks all!  :bigup:

FWIW, I recommend a business plan as his first step.  He can find a free one on the net, or go on ebay and purchase a "cigar smoke shop business plan" for around $20.  I have worked on a couple of business plans, but have no idea what $20 will give you.

Had a friend who opened a wine store; first step was a business plan.  Just a thought.

Good luck!

Thanks man, he does have a fairly well developed plan, but he is looking to research a few specific ideas.
