Despite the abundance of inexpensive clothing stores, second-hand stores do not lose their relevance. Both not very wealthy citizens and teenagers who want to be fashionable, but do not have money for this, buy clothes there. After all, in second-hand you can find branded items. Taking into account the specified specifics, then opening a second-hand is no more difficult than a regular store.
Instructions
Step 1
The most difficult thing when opening a second-hand shop is choosing a store location and a supplier. Your success depends on the place. It makes no sense to open a second-hand shop in respectable or business districts. Old bedrooms are more suitable here. It is not worth (regardless of the area) to locate the store in the courtyards, since no one will know about it. But the location next to an inexpensive supermarket would be beneficial. It is also good if there are public transport stops nearby. A large passenger traffic is important, and it is necessary that it consists of people who may be interested in second-hand.
Step 2
Second-hand goods are very specific. It is quite understandable that this product is of low quality, but the concept of "low quality" differs greatly from one supplier to another. The task of an entrepreneur when opening a second-hand is to buy a relatively normal product at minimal cost. It is believed that the highest quality goods come from England and European countries, however, in any case, it is important to be careful and check the incoming consignments well.
Step 3
To open a second-hand store, you will need to do the following: - Advertise a new second-hand store. The sooner people know about you, the better. Signs, pavement inscriptions, social media advertisements are best suited;
- Find several suppliers (this is usually done via the Internet or through friends, if one of them is also engaged in such a business);
- Find and rent a space for a store;
- Register a legal entity (LLC) or register as an individual entrepreneur;
- Purchase equipment, hire personnel.
