Instruction manual

1

A package of documents for registration - you will need permissions and approvals from the local administration, power engineers, fire departments, tax inspectorate and sanitary and epidemiological station. The process of going to all instances will take a lot of time, especially if you argue and prove your case. Therefore, try to go around all corners from the very beginning.

2

Location is one of the key factors. Not in the center, but not on the outskirts; here you yourself understand, we need a "middle ground". As a rule, they are not selected to the center in order to return from there with loaded building materials. And not every buyer will go to the outskirts. It is advisable to consider options for access roads, their degree of congestion, the possibility of their mutual replacement in cases of urgent need.

3

The assortment of your store - here you need to try and most efficiently calculate the invested funds. Remember that the cost of goods that will be unrealized in your warehouses for a long time is indirect losses. The list of materials should be such that people can find almost everything that they may need for minor and major repairs. That is, at least, we advise you to have cement, wallpaper, paint and varnish products, dry mixes, roofing materials, floor coverings, furniture fittings.

Correct window dressing - if the buyer has wide eyes, then this is not a good option. The effective level of the review is from the waist to the chin, we put small goods closer, large ones away. Signboards over counters and directional arrows will also serve as a guide. For bulky items, catalogs and brochures can be used.

5

Suppliers - look for reliable partners, to sell building materials - this is not to sell seeds, the goods must arrive on time and in the right quantity. Otherwise, you will lose your reputation, time and miss customers.

6

Staff - look for those who have work experience. Goodwill, courtesy, diligence and accuracy are mandatory. Good sellers manage to sell not only one product, but also a lot of related trifles.

7

Advertising is, as you know, the engine of progress. And trade too. The more people find out about your store, the more you get potential buyers. Keeping old customers - and sooner or later they will appear, do not be afraid to attract new promotions and discounts.

If things go uphill, then in the future you can create a network of your stores. This is not only an increase in revenue, but also an increase in the popularity of the brand. Good luck in your projects!
