First paying order!

Received our first paying order. It was a large order as well. Another small consultancy in Pune wanted some material (spirally bound booklets) printed for a workshop they were running.

Was able to test out the entire operation with this order. Payment gateway, printing, binding as well as delivery. All went smoothly and customer was happy with the quality we are offering and convenience of same-day delivery.

Joy!

    Nice idea and congrats on getting your first order!

    I was wondering whether it would be possible to have clients connect up to your printer directly over the internet? This would make it super natural and easy to print.

    How did you find your first customer?

      Thanks @daoud
      Hooking up the printer to the internet and letting people use it as a regular printer should be possible and will be a very fun thing to work on. I hope to make this process more seamless down the path.

      But for now, before I invest any more tech into it, just want to figure out if there is an actual need for it (the business idea).

      First customer reached via Facebook posts on my network. So someone I know who also hated the process of getting these printed at a local shop. So far, I haven't spent any money on marketing. Have just been targetting people in my network.

        Completely makes sense to take the lean approach, my imagination was running away with me :)

        Good luck!
