See How To Start Boutique In Nigeria Below….

1. HAVE A BUSINESS PLAN

This is the first step when trying to establish a successful startup, no matter how small or big.. As a prospective business owner, you have to draw a detailed business plan or perhaps, hire a professional who can. Conducting a fashion boutique business feasibility study is also a must do cause it will help you draw a better business plan.

2. BOUTIQUE LOCATION

Boutique business is a location base business. Not situating your business on a good location will drastically affect sales, even to the extent of frustrating you as an entrepreneur. Before you settle down for that location, make sure the roads are accessible. Make sure there’s human traffic. The best place for this type of business is an open busy place.

3. CHOOSE A BRAND NAME

What would you like your boutique to bear as a name? When considering a name for your boutique, make sure it’s simple, catchy and memorable. Make sure it speaks about your business. It could be abstract or a coined word. You can also consider having your business  registered under the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC)

4. STAY UPDATED WITH TRENDS

In the fashion industry, you have to be ahead to really make it. If you can’t be ahead, at least be current with fashion trends. Currently, anyone will buy a wear as long as there’s a Gucci label on it, irrespective of the price. It’s no longer news that the demand for Gucci products is high. Stay updated, stock up your boutique with the latest wears and you won’t have problem making profits.

5. YOUR NICHE

What kind of wears will you be dealing with? Which market demography would you like to satisfy? You can decide to deal on Top Designer Wears which can cost a hand and a leg. Such a business will need to be situated in a location of high-profile individuals. You can also consider dealing only on children or ladies’ wears. Which ever one you’re going for, make sure you conduct a feasibility study to know if it fits your budget. Also, it will be nice to sell bags, shoes, watches etc as accessories.
