- Market Outlook / Competition
- Steady B2B demand from electrical/industrial contractors (trades) for lamacoid-style compliance, ID, and asset tags. Client are recurring and deadline-driven; buyers value speed, accuracy, and reliability over branding. Few local shops specialize in this niche, creating a defensible position. Current work is primarily repeat orders and referrals with no marketing.
- Opportunities for Growth
- Launch a simple website with online order intake; add basic social media/Google Business Profile for contractor referrals; target strata/property managers and facility maintenance teams; offer prepaid asset-tag bundles; expand into small-run consumer e-commerce (custom tags) on plastic, wood, or metal. Scale by adding part-time help or extending hours; easy bolt-on to sign/industrial shops. Branch into novelty labels or corporate "swag".
