Business Deep Dive – Retail & E-commerce Consulting
Business Deep Dive — 6 Hours of Retail & E-commerce Consulting
CA$1,999 | Six hours of private consulting | Online or in person
Take a closer look at your business with practical guidance from Amir Hassan, owner of Toy Snowman. This package is designed for aspiring entrepreneurs and established retailers who want to work through business challenges in more depth than a single consultation allows.
Whether you're planning a new hobby shop, improving your Shopify store, reviewing purchasing decisions, or looking for more efficient operations, we focus on your priorities and practical next steps.
What's Included?
Preliminary business review. Before our consultations, we'll review relevant information you provide about your business, website, and operational challenges. We agree on the review materials and priorities in advance.
Six hours of private consulting. Work one-on-one with Amir on the questions that matter most to your business. We recommend three 2-hour sessions, allowing time between meetings to consider recommendations and revisit priorities. Session arrangements are agreed in advance and subject to availability.
Personalized written recommendations. Receive a concise summary of key findings, suggested improvements, and prioritized next steps.
Your six hours are scheduled meeting time. The preliminary review, preparation, and concise written summary are included separately within the agreed scope; they do not reduce your six consulting hours. Extensive audits, technical implementation, and ongoing support are not included.
What We Can Work On
- Starting a business: planning a retail or e-commerce operation, evaluating priorities, and preparing for launch.
- Shopify & e-commerce: store organization, apps, order management, customer experience, and operational workflows.
- Inventory, suppliers & pricing: product assortment, purchasing, gross margins, slow-moving stock, and supplier relationships.
- Retail operations & growth: staffing, customer service, daily processes, and expansion considerations.
- Shipping & fulfillment: order processing, domestic and international shipping workflows, and delivery-related customer communication.
- TCG & hobby store events: planning tournaments, prereleases, organized play activities, and community-building events.
Specialty Toy, TCG & Hobby Retail Experience
Our consulting draws on hands-on specialty retail experience with Games Workshop and Warhammer, including Warhammer 40,000 and Age of Sigmar; Magic: The Gathering (MTG), Pokémon TCG, One Piece Card Game and other trading card games; Hasbro action figures and collectibles such as Transformers, G.I. Joe Classified, Marvel Legends and Star Wars; and Bandai hobby products, Gundam model kits (Gunpla), and collectibles.
The focus is the business of selling these products: purchasing, preorders, product selection, inventory, pricing, fulfillment, and building a sustainable retail operation.
