My Home Business Travels with Me, Does Yours?
Just recently my husband and I temporarily relocated to Mansfield, Arkansas (for 10 weeks) and now to Del Rio, Texas. During this time I have ontinued to service my Watkins customers without problem. Not only could they order directly online from my website but they were also able to contact me and I was able to mail them products as well. I also sold products at yard sales, flea markets and other venues during this time.
Currently we are workkamping (working at an RV park in exchange for lot rental and utilities as well as a small wage) in Del Rio Texas and I have a couple of tables set up outside the trailer under our tent where neighbors can come by and see the products I have on hand to purchase. I have already made several sales.
With many home based businesses this is just not possible. Not only are you restricted by your location but also by your abilities to take care of your customers long distance. Some home businesses require licensing and fees that further restrict your activities.
If you plan to travel during retirement or just want to be able to move your business with you for other reasons be sure to check out the company thoroughly. Territorial restrictions, licensing fees and other problems can create more problems than you may want to deal with in some cases.
