When thinking about opening a cellular communication salon, one should take into account the high competition in this area of trade and the active development of large networks - market leaders. Starting this type of business, you should focus on opening several points of sale at once and developing your own brand.
Instructions
Step 1
Locate salons in prominent high-traffic areas during the day. The area of the room should be about 40 square meters. Communication salons are often located in shopping centers, but it should be borne in mind that the rent is much higher here than in other places. If you are planning to develop a network of salons, but you need to take care of the premises for the warehouse.
Step 2
Establish work with suppliers of cell phones. Focus not only on the leading brands, but also take into account little-known manufacturers who are often willing to give big discounts to wholesalers. It is worth taking into account the fact that the range of cell phones is rapidly becoming obsolete, and new models have to be reduced in price within a couple of weeks after their launch. Therefore, interaction with suppliers must be established in such a way that new items go on sale in a timely manner.
Step 3
Equip the point of sale with lockable showcases, a cash desk, a computer with Internet access, a telephone connection, and an alarm system. Take care of a prominent sign at the entrance to the salon, decorated in your corporate style.
Step 4
Young people (often students) usually work in communication salons. The number of staff depends on the size of the room. With an area of 40 square meters, 3-4 sellers will be required. Employees must be well instructed and have comprehensive information about phone models. Their work is monitored by the salon manager. Consider corporate attire, such as branded T-shirts with a logo. It is also advisable to hire a security guard, since this type of trade is associated with frequent cases of theft.
Step 5
It makes sense to organize additional services and services for customers, to offer related products. This includes accepting payments for mobile communications, repairing cell phones, accessories for them, memory cards, and more. Such a step will add attractiveness to your communication salon in the eyes of visitors.
