Roadmap
The steps that make this path concrete
Each step gives you a clear target and actions you can execute directly.
Step
Choose your shop model
Decide whether you’re selling online, in person, or both — and to whom.
- Define your target audience (beginners, advanced makers, pros, schools...)
- List the product categories you want to sell (filaments, parts, tools, printers...)
- Choose your main channel: online, physical store, or local shop-in-shop
- Visit 1–2 places where you could display your products (maker space, local store, workshop...)
- Decide whether you’ll hold inventory or use dropshipping/on-demand
Step
Prepare your products and space
Make your project real: products ready, space ready, sales ready.
- Source or order a first batch of products to test
- Create product sheets with visuals, pricing, and details
- Set up a simple point of sale (shelf, stand, mini showroom...)
- Offer at least one item that people can try out (e.g. extruder, filament test)
- Create a support guide (card or video) to explain each product in-store
- Make your first sale (online or in person)
Step
Create a memorable customer experience
Make your shop a trusted place for advice, testing and discovery.
- Set up a demo printer that people can see or touch
- Set up a testing area for filaments, textures or accessories
- Use a notebook or QR code to collect customer reviews
- Offer a “starter pack” or “discovery kit”
- Get 5 positive customer reviews (spoken, written, or online)
- Make a flyer or business card explaining your physical + online offer

- Identify 3 high-margin, fast-moving products
- Set up a loyalty or repeat-customer system
- Have at least 10 products in your catalog
