Establishing a niche in the perfume market takes patience and money but your first concern should be making the most of your marketing dollar. Even if your finances are limited, there are ways you can start small and expand your base as your product sells.

5. 6
Market your perfume online with your own website featuring a shopping cart where buyers can easily make a purchase and check out. List your product online in auctions, like eBay and put a link to your website so wholesale buyers can contact you.
