Few people do not like to do something with their own hands. This is especially true for women. Therefore, a handicraft store, which will sell hand-made products, as well as goods for their manufacture, can become a source of not very high, but stable income.
It is necessary
registration, premises, goods, sellers, advertising
Instructions
Step 1
To open a handicraft store, it will be enough to register as an individual entrepreneur. This can be done at the tax office at the place of residence by submitting an application in the prescribed form and paying a state fee of 800 rubles. You must be registered within five working days. The cash register you need is also registered with the tax office.
Step 2
Start looking for a small cozy room (you can basement, in a sleeping area, but not very far from the center). As a rule, 20-30 sq.m. for such a store is enough for you to start. The room will need to be redecorated to make it cozy. It is also worthwhile to arrange it in an original way.
Step 3
Decide what you will sell: handicraft goods (threads, beads) or hand-made products? You can combine both. Finding suppliers of original "hand-made" things will not be difficult, since there are many communities on the Internet who know how to sew, knit, weave, embroider … Surely many of them will be happy to find someone who will sell their products.
Step 4
For a small store, you will need two salespeople working in shifts. They do not need to have special sales skills, although it is best, of course, to hire people with experience. The salary of sellers consists of a salary and a percentage of sales. At first, you can sell yourself.
Step 5
Tell your friends about your store - this is how you will have your first customers. It will be useful to make a catalog of your products, copies of which can also be given to them - already for their friends. Create a website that will showcase your products with prices and descriptions. The site can be advertised through the community of handicraft lovers. Also, don't forget the original store name and colorful sign.
