Hi.... I am here just looking for some advice and knowledge. My brother-in-law just opened up a scrap metal business on a VERY BUSY street in New York City. I have done all of his background work and designed his logo and shop sign. This week was his first week opened. (He has worked in scrap metal for the last 30 years...but just opened up his own shop). My question is... IF YOU HAVE a scrap metal business (that you operate in a building) can you tell me what you expected or RECEIVED your first week in sales? Did you get any customers? What was your experience like? The only advertising we have done was sending out 200 postcards to the local businesses (plumbing/electricians/builders)



He had about 2-4 customers per day his first week... small customers though... no huge payouts by any means. I just wanted to hear your experience and on how your business was the first week and maybe the first few weeks after that? Unfortunately, he is feeling a little defeated.

I truly appreciate your sharing your story.

Thanks
Anna
