 The legal dry herb market is forecasted to top $6 billion in 2016, and the growth potential of this new industry is expected to be very high for years to come as more states move to legalize the herbs both medically and recreationally. Obviously this is a very attractive industry to enter, but the introductory costs for starting farms and dispensaries are prohibitively expensive.
The good news for budding entrepreneurs is that with the growth of marijuana sales, many ancillary products and services will also see significant sales increases. There’s a common maxim taught to wanna-be business owners that goes like this: “You can mine for gold or you can sell pickaxes.” This saying alludes to the fact that some of the most successful businesses are built around offering tools or supplies for bigger industries.

Some are starting to smile while others cringe…here it comes again, Black Friday.
Referred to as the creme de la creme of buying and selling, and it’s only a week away.
Adobe’s Digital Index shows that last year’s Black Friday set the bar high, with consumers spending $2.4 billion online, an almost 24% increase from the prior year. This year, according to some estimates, that spend line is increasing even more. Especially with e-commerce continuing to grow in the double digits, something it has done for several years in a row now.

A hot trend, according to perhaps the largest search engine on the globe, is that of charmed bracelets. Wholesale jewelers have long known to keep the latest styles of these fashionable beads in stock. Women love them because they can create a bracelet, necklace, earring or other adornment that is uniquely their own. Men love them because they can buy something that has a wide price range and still look like Prince Charming even with a gift so small. The actual charm on the charm bracelets can be made from a variety of materials with gold, sterling silver and Murano glass being the most common materials used in modern charms. Birth stones, enamel, wood, diamonds and other gems are incorporated to add even more sophistication. Designs can be as simple as a smooth round bead of a singular color to more elaborate miniature statues.
Charms have long adorned our human bodies. Long ago these decorations were used as magical wards protecting us from evil or in hopes of bringing us love and more. Our ancient ancestors carved rocks, shells and molded clay into little amulets to be dangled from one’s hair or about the wrist attached to hemp or some other string. The oldest findings of beads used for adornment come from Blombos Cave in South Africa. The 41 shells have perforations and wear marks such as would be done by being used in a bracelet or necklace. These shell beads could be as much as 75,000 years old. Many charms have been found in caves and other areas where stone age and later ancestors lived. Amulets made to benefit fertility and hunting were quite commonly found made into bangles and necklaces. Continue reading So Very Charming !
