maybe start with FB and Instagram marketing...try to invest in this marketing platform first...and as usual check the market price and differentiate you with other competitors...dont put many item or inventory keep close eye on this... cause your business is the inventory is the key of the profit/loss...

get the customer based data...mean existing customers make sure you have their contacts such as email or HP number so you are able to remind them on a special date...hahahha...repeat customer like a gold mine...

if you products is carry able by motorcycle and your shipment start from KV....than try contact TS of this recent thread....

"Hi all. I am planning for a new startup.....I don't have any experience in business, so I need to consult forum members who have expertise on these:
Actually, I am planning for a motorcycle-delivery service to residents and business owners in Klang Valley."
https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/4873339

profit range?...I think it depends on your target customers and the kind of "wow' factor of your products and also the pricing.....thus I am not sure.

get your business registered as I am sure corporate customers would really want receipts that can claim tax deduction.

Courier delivery are 'rough' handlers.

You need a dedicated guy to do it. A good contact of a taxi driver, that is how most florists operate.
