Opening a wedding salon is quite an expensive undertaking for a novice businessman. However, such activities are given only to those who invest themselves fully in the work and enjoy it. If you really want to be in the wedding business, take your first steps towards it.
Instructions
Step 1
Register your salon officially. For a novice businessman, it is better to choose one of 2 forms of ownership: individual entrepreneur or LLC. These are the simplest types of registration that require minimal accounting maintenance.
Step 2
Find a room for a salon. Despite the high cost of rent, give preference to retail space in the city center, which will not only raise your respectability in the eyes of customers, but also allow you to quickly advertise your business. Choose an area of at least 100 m2. Some suppliers, as experience shows, refuse to work with small salons.
Step 3
Take care of the interior design. It is important not only what you offer for sale, but also the general atmosphere of the salon. Girls who buy bridal accessories should enjoy the process. Decorate the whole room with themed photos, make a podium and a fitting booth. Hang up full-length mirrors. Order display windows so that the most beautiful models of dresses can be seen from the street.
Step 4
Purchase salon products. Try to choose dresses not only from the catalog, visit wedding exhibitions, consult with specialists. In addition to clothes, it is logical to buy accessories with which you can make sets. Try to choose shoes, a handbag, gloves and a veil for each dress. Do not forget about the seasonality of weddings and expand your range of evening dresses, which can be worn on both an important evening and on the second wedding day.
Step 5
Provide wedding services. Hire a florist, hairdresser, and makeup artist. Thus, your clients will be able to solve most of the organizational issues in your salon, which will bring you not only profit, but also additional advertising. Among other things, hire a seamstress who can, if necessary, customize the dresses to suit the customers.
