I have a great customer who primarily sells Crystal awards. They drop ship cases to me, I engrave and then they pickup.
Now most of these are for local events and businesses that I have considered going after myself - higher profit margin. In the greater Cincinnati area - Nearly every doctor's office, dozens and dozens of businesses and every Home-a-roma/Citi-rama home (past 3 years) has my engraved products, but none of them have my logo on them.
I've grown enough that I've had to get my wife involved in the business. More people, more income needed. So do I bite the hand that feeds me by going after this same business, or just take the easy work and look elsewhere? I'm inclined to look elsewhere, my wife thinks it's all fair game.
