Instructions
Step 1
Find a space for a thrift store. If you manage to find it in a passable place, the profitability of your business will only increase. However, in practice, it is better to choose inexpensive premises for a thrift store, where most customers would be able to come on purpose. To work, you will need a trading area and a small room for receiving goods and storing documents.
Step 2
Purchase shop equipment. Of course, a special design in the absence of extra funds for a thrift store will not be required. At a minimum, you will need shelves and brackets. In addition, purchase office equipment: on a computer you will keep a database and inventory records, and on a printer you will print receipts for clients.
Step 3
Set prices for the main product categories. Analyze the prices of new children's clothing stores and similar thrift stores. Create a table of the cost of things, thanks to which any of your employees can easily accept incoming goods for commission. Determine the size of the commission, as well as the markdown of the product depending on the time it is in the store.
Step 4
Get involved in promoting a thrift store, because this is the stage where the success of your business depends. Create a page on the internet using one of the free resources. Promote yourself on thematic forums related to children's topics. Advertise in the press. Print advertisements and post them in the surrounding area. Distribute flyers to kindergartens and schools.
