Trade, including retail, today occupies a more than significant place in the small business segment. This is due to the relative ease of opening new outlets, as well as the quick return on investment. So, let's look at what you need to do to open your own retail outlet.
Instructions
Step 1
Opening any outlet will require you to complete some mandatory steps. So, point by point:
- Making a decision on the geographical region (country, region, locality) of opening a retail outlet.
- Making a decision on the range of goods that are planned to be traded (that is, establishing the range that direct executors can professionally implement).
Step 2
Marketing research to determine:
- wholesale suppliers of the desired range of goods and terms of delivery;
- the degree of demand for each type of goods (from the accepted nomenclature), in different areas of the settlement where the opening of the outlet is planned;
- target groups of the population who are interested (or may be interested) in purchasing the goods planned for sale and assessing the solvency of each group;
- cost of 1 sq.m. retail space sold in each area of the settlement where it is planned to open a retail outlet, or the amount of rent when renting out similar premises.
Step 3
Working out a decision on the desired amount of profitability planned for the opening of a retail outlet.
- Transformation of a formulated desire into a strategic goal;
- Assessment of the attainability of the strategic goal according to the KIPRO formula;
- Specifying the strategic goal and drawing up a real work plan to achieve it.
