    Hello everyone! How are you this evening? I am working on a business development and I was wondering if anyone would participate in a short survey?
    This survey is to identify my target market and audiences to be successful in my start up stage of business? To provide a little more about this opportunity I’ll start with the name of the store Iconic-Spirits, not yet operating. I’m still working on the plan and all the legal aspects. But can I get some advice on merchandise to possibly start out with: 1. What’s the most popular things? 2. what social media sites and websites is primarily used for the hippie culture? I would like to get aquatinted with some hippie spirits. I am pretty young, 30 to be exact. But I have a crazy unexplainable love for the psychedelic colors, the peace symbol and some tie dyes to add to it, I’m a hippie from the soul. My purpose is to promote some good energy and spread peace back into our evil conniving environment. If I could get a couple different views and answers for this survey I’d greatly appreciate it! Thank you kindly

    so you're opening a store but haven't even decided what you want to sell yet?

    iconic spirits sounds like a liquor store to me. and i think it's probably accurate that liquor is among the most popular things.

    I’ve decided on stuff to sell but I’m asking for suggestions and to see what’s most popular by demand to have the idea of designs? Accessories? And no liquor not at this point. I chose this name bc iconic is also another fancy word for uplifting and spirits bc it’s supposed to mean my store puts the vibes in the atmosphere to boost those spirits that may need uplifted and spread some good energy and vibes to promote and hopefully shoot for more happiness in this environment and our society

    Hippie is an overused term that has lost all true meanin' sis. Ok I won't wax philosophical on you. Grateful Dead memorabilia, custom tie dye, meditation items such as, candles, meditation cushions, beads etc. All are a groovy start

    Right and I understand the basic trend but I was just seeking some ideas that maybe I’m not fully aware of just yet? Or maybe there’s another band that’s more wanted now instead of idk say Pink Floyd lol which idk they were pretty popular on stores I’ve been too but stuff changes every day and there’s so much that I may never even get to find or what not just trying to build a market and get some other insights from some other people.

    Our evil conniving environment all started because of Pink Floyd fans

    I'm not sure what you are looking for here.
    1. What’s the most popular things? - That is down to the individual and generational
    2. what social media sites and websites is primarily used for the hippie culture? "I would like to get aquatinted with some hippie spirits. I am pretty young, 30 to be exact".
    This would suggest that your target audience is age/generation specific - and as such out of 'my' age category.
    But wish you well in your pursuit of developmental advancements

    Ben and Jerry's are possibly a good model for business that reaches out to alternative markets. You could come out with a whiskey named after Willie Nelson or some other popular figure among hippies who actually drinks alcohol. Perhaps, you could infuse it with "essence of marijuana" and still ship in interstate.
