Clothing trade is one of the most profitable and stable types of business, as the net profit can be over one hundred percent. In addition, clothing does not require special storage conditions, does not deteriorate over time and is a topical product at any time of the year.

Step 1
In order to trade things profitably for yourself, you need to think over the initial expenses. As a rule, a significant part of the start-up capital of a beginner entrepreneur is spent on purchasing goods, so you need to choose positions that will be bought as quickly as possible, albeit not with maximum profit.
Step 2
An example is seasonal outerwear, especially winter ones. With the onset of the first cold weather, many people remember that they need to update their wardrobe and go shopping. However, you should not invest all available funds in one or two positions, it will be much more reliable to purchase one size range of each item in order to fill the store's hangers with a variety of goods. By the way, it would be useful to add accessories to winter clothes: scarves, gloves and hats.
Step 3
It is better to choose goods of the middle price segment for your store. In this case, on the one hand, you will have a sufficient range for a good profit, and on the other, a more stable income than if you were trading the most expensive brands of things. In addition, your start-up capital may simply not be enough for a sufficient number of high-end branded products, and as a result, your store will be half empty.
Step 4
Another nuance is that buyers tend to go to brand stores to buy expensive things, and not to small pavilions, since a large store representing one brand can afford a wider range of models.
Step 5
In addition to seasonal goods, underwear, men's T-shirts, and socks are in great constant demand. And although it is unlikely that you will be able to make a significant profit on the difference between wholesale and retail prices, such positions will provide you with a stable income throughout the year. In addition, these products do not take up much space in the warehouse.
Step 6
The choice of the place for trade also plays an important role. Keep in mind that in any place customers expect a certain level of quality and prices, and if in a boutique in the city center people are willing to pay 5-10 thousand rubles for a branded T-shirt, then in a residential area such prices will only cause bewilderment.
