Opening a boutique can be a great investment, as the general public is always on the lookout for new fashions and great deals on existing designer clothes. But there's more to running a successful boutique than having a sharp sense of style and a passion for fashion. You need to maintain your supply lines, reach your customers and price your wares just right to make a profit, as well as manage every other aspect of your business efficiently to maximize your profits. Keep reading for instructions on opening a boutique. Decide what type of boutique you want to open. There are high-end fashion boutiques that sell clothes from top designers, modern fashion boutiques that sell popular brands, and boutiques that sell children's clothes. You can even open a boutique to sell your own designs. Evaluate the competition in your area. Find out how many boutiques sell items similar to those you want to sell, what their price ranges are, and how they market themselves. Find out if there's a market for a new boutique in your area. This will mainly be determined by the demographics and shopping habits of people who live in the region. Draw up a business plan. Make sure you include the costs of your venue, utilities, taxes and business licenses, as well as inventory, business supplies, staff and marketing. Visit an accountant to determine the viability of your business plan. Make any necessary adjustments to make it as sound as can be. Acquire the investment capital you need to open a boutique. You can either speak to your bank about a small business loan, or speak to private investors about putting up the capital for your start up. Find the venue for your boutique. Make sure it's in an area that provides enough traffic to bring sufficient customers to your store. Design your boutique and furnish it. Make sure you pay attention to both the exterior and interior of the store to create a comprehensive look. Determine which suppliers you want and order your inventory. Even if you're selling your own designs, it's worth extending your selection to include 1 or 2 brand names. Interview and hire employees. Make sure they are representative of your boutique's style, as well as friendly and efficient. Advertise your fashion boutique online, in print magazines and papers, and on flyers. read less
