How to Open a Gift Shop??

Re: How to Open a Gift Shop??

There are several things to consider when starting a gift shop. First, you need to develop a concept. Do you want to go with the traditional and run a gift shop selling traditional items like candles and display figurines? Alternatively, do you prefer a gift shop that is more theme specific? What do you want your gift shop to specialize in? What do you want your gift shop to be known for? Focus on a theme that you are fond of. If you are partial to novelty items then make novelty items the specialty of your store.Look for possible sources for your inventory. This is the fun part. You can join trade fairs or get in touch with the manufactures to see what they’re offering. The internet is also a good venue since a lot of small manufacturers display their items on the web.Be careful in choosing what range of goods to sell for this is the most vital aspect of any gift shop. To be effective, your products must be rare and special that customers will be hard pressed to find elsewhere. This will keep you from having to deal with competition.Another thing to consider is location. You must choose a place that complements the type of inventory you have.You must look for a storefront space that is highly visible and is easily accessible. Ensure that the location has a high amount of foot traffic. Also, see to it that the economy in the area is stable, if not flourishing. As a rule, people tend to be more generous when they have extra money to spare.

Thanks

Focus on advertising. This is critical, if you are going to have a successful start-up. If you can come up with a fun promotion for your grand opening, including newspaper ads, giveaway baskets or other perks, you will get people buzzing with excitement. Once you get your customers in the door, keep them coming back with great customer service and product lines.

Re: How to Open a Gift Shop??

this is a pretty broad question, but the most important thing you have to do is research. A gift shop can be a million things, so what you need to make sure is to research what people in your city/area would buy in a gift shop. you can't go blind and unprepared into any project, especially not this one. you have to find middle ground between your ideas and vision and your local market's demands.

if you choose to go into this project and open a gift shop based solely on your vision, you are very likely to fail. when you do research, you will find out about things you never thought of which will help you make your business even better or will tell you to start something else.

once you find out about the demands, work on your project. find ideas and products that will work well with your business model and your shop's philosophy. always keep on testing products and asking your customers about their experience, thoughts and what they would like to see in your shop.

Finding suppliers is only a small part of it — if you've decided you want to open such a shop without knowing any suppliers it sounds like you have no experience in what you're doing. I'd seriously suggest teh first thing you do is get expert advice on setting up a business/shop.
