Instructions
Step 1
Think over the concept of your store. For example, you can specialize in expensive leather accessories or youth jewelry. In these cases, both the positioning and the target audience of the store will differ significantly. Make a business plan that will help you anticipate all investments, monthly expenses, and forecast profits.
Step 2
Find accessories suppliers. Today the world market in this area is oversaturated, so it will not be difficult to choose a manufacturer or partner. You can work on a franchise basis as there is usually a wide range of products created within each brand.
Step 3
Choose a location for the store. A prerequisite is high traffic and the proximity of related retail outlets (clothes, shoes, cosmetics, gifts). If there are already similar shops nearby, you should not be stopped by this. You can always create an individual assortment and play on the shortcomings of your competitors.
Step 4
Purchase equipment for the store. The specificity of the product implies a small investment in trade equipment. Shelves, brackets and hangers will allow you to present products in a convenient open access for customers. Take care of the presence of mirrors and good lighting in the store.
Step 5
Form the right assortment, taking into account the needs of the customers. When choosing products, be guided not only by your taste and fashion trends, but also by the preferences of buyers. Watch them, and in a few weeks you will be able to draw clear conclusions about the tastes of your visitors. Divide the assortment into groups or mini-collections that would be combined with each other.
