The money required to open a clothing store can be more or less. The key depends on the city, the location of the store, the grade and quantity of the supply, decoration costs and labor costs. For example, opening a 50 square meter store in a second- and third-tier city If you are a clothing store that specializes in selling affordable clothing, then you need to prepare about 200,000 yuan.

The following budget is a conservative estimate:

1. Shop rental cost.

In different locations in different cities, the rents of shops are also different. Take first-tier cities as an example. The rent for a 50-square-meter shop in an ordinary location is 5,000 yuan a month, and many shops in first-tier cities will have transfer fees, ranging from hundreds of thousands to two hundred thousand. This is the bulk of the cost of opening a store.

2. Supply cost.

Novices who open clothing stores usually go to wholesalers to purchase goods. After all, novices only know that there are clothing sources in the wholesale market. In fact, the supply of goods in the wholesale market does not come with first-hand prices. If you want to minimize the cost of supply, you must find manufacturers to cooperate. Of course, if your clothing store is too small, the clothing factory will not cooperate with you, so you will have to go to the wholesale market to get the goods.

3. Shop decoration costs.

If the original decoration style of the rented store can satisfy you, then the cost of this part will be almost nothing. If it needs to be renovated, the decoration will depend on the size of the store and the positioning of the clothing store. The cost is also different. Taking a small clothing store as an example, decoration does not need to cost too much, because the core of opening a clothing store is sales, so there is no need to spend costs on unnecessary places.

4. The cost of opening a clothing store is labor and daily expenses.

It goes without saying that daily expenses include water and electricity, which are not expensive. As for labor costs, they also vary according to different cities. The sales salary of clothing stores in second- and third-tier cities is generally around 3,000 to 5,000, and some even have commissions. A small clothing store does not need to hire too many sales people. The important thing is the sales ability rather than the quantity. Generally, two are enough.

Things to note when opening a clothing store

1. Don’t “wait and wait”

Don’t sit in the store and wait for customers to come voluntarily. When you open a business, you must publicize it. , it is necessary to mobilize all the people who can be mobilized to "solicit customers". The solicitation here is not about going to the streets to solicit customers, but through some channels, such as sending messages online, distributing leaflets, and organizing activities to attract customers.

2. Don’t aim too high

Don’t think about what you can do in one go. There is no such thing as reaching the sky in one go. No matter what you do, you have to do it step by step, especially when making clothing. Business starts from a small business. Only by slowly accumulating and gathering less to make more can we finally climb to the peak of wealth.
