Yes it's me again to update the 2nd part of the story why I 'heart' my job so much. This entry will explain what is our next action to be taken to open a retail shop.
Opening up a clothing store has become a huge trend in the world of business. Setting up a retail clothing business is much like any other businesses, it must undergo extensive planning, preparation, and self motivation for the business to grow in success.
Keeping a positive mindset is very helpful and experience plays a role in this line of business or any kind of business. Experience is important too but by doing some research at least we are ready to face the subsequent in the future and will allow us to learn from trial and error.
+ First of all, find the right place and make sure do some research about the mall. Start-up costs can be high, especially if the space to rent is in a prime location - checked
+ Discuss with the management about rental, payment methods, mall terms and conditions, size of the space/shop and etc - done
+ Estimate overall costs and financial resources and to note down all the expenses - done
+ To hire a contractor to construct the display unit and to make customizations to fit the specific needs to the shop - done
+ To purchase furniture and small decoration to make the interior of the shop attractive, fun and easy to grab more attention of customer - done
+ To choose the right fabric and design. Get 3 - 4 quotations from wholesaler and to discuss the costs and additional fees - done
Trust me you really don’t have to become a specialist just to start a retail clothing business. All you need to do is to do some research about what’s happening in the word of fashion clothing. Please do ask around, you’ll be surprised on the amount of knowledge that these urban people have about clothes.
This is the reasons why I 'heart' my job so much:
+ It's different every day and it provides me with the opportunity to be creative and to try new things
+ To meet new people
+ Work on projects given by En Boss
+ Continually stretch myself in doing things I'm not always comfortable doing - so it is still remains challenging :)
