Digg it UP - Choosing The Right Retail Premises for Your Business, Part II
After a friend was bitten by a spider, I decided to do some research to find out more about the spider.I came across a website that decided to create a marketing message that focused on fear based selling and over the top lies.To emphasize the fear based factor, the website was illustrated with pictures of spider bite 'victims' that had huge holes in their skin from where the small spider bite supposedly turned into a flesh eating monster.One photograph caption went way over the top by stating that the victim of a horrific spider bite o

IntroductionOne of the techniques available whereby the variety of abilities in a group can be enhanced and constantly been widened is through the process of paired learning. However, not only does this method gives recognition to the fact that one learner has the right to be better than the other, the poorer learner also benefits and develops quicker as the method requires the active involvement of each learner. Further, as more information becomes accessible to learners within institutions of higher learning and without the aid of these institutions, it is req
In Part I we focused on how to find desirable communities in which to locate your business. In Part II, we'll be looking at specifics as to how they relate to your actual storefront. Along with these considerations, you will want to develop a strong business plan in order to give your company the best chance for survival. A description of your desired storefront will be in that plan.
Location:
In determining the ultimate location for your retail business, take into consideration:
- The amount of daily foot traffic.
- Parking and local transportation.
- Other retail establishments-- those carrying similar products, ancillary items and distinctly different goods are all desirable.
- Average income of potential customers as it relates to your product.
Note: you'll want a storefront that has a solid amount of foot traffic. Parking difficulties or an inability to get to the store using public transportation will dissuade business. If you're opening a clothing store and there's another such store in the vicinity, that can actually help business. People tend to want to go to areas where they have two or three choices in relationship to the same general product. Competition, as long as you clearly define the differences between your offerings and there's, is good.
Building:
The building should be attractive and welcoming to the general public. People will judge your goods before they ever get into your establishment by your storefront— a well-maintained, clean fa?ade with a consistency of style in look is important. Here are some essentials:
- Size and potential attractiveness of the space.
- Signage.
- Visibility and accessibility.
- Age and durability of the premises.
- Building code concerns.

An ongoing challenge for many salespeople is the ability to ‘compartmentalize’ areas of their life. Let me explain.As a writer, it is important for me to be able to set aside all life challenges, issues and problems once I sit at my computer to create. This is often easier said than done. Let’s say your spouse just announced after 25 years of marriage he or she is leaving. Your car has just been repossessed and your teenager is in jail on drug charges. Not a pretty picture. Fortunately, none of us have this much hit us simultaneously. Anyway, the ability to keep these

Well, it is true that turning into an entrepreneur could be one of the most satisfying things for any person but have you ever thought that if everyone were to turn entrepreneur, who would work for others? For every firm that has been a sterling success, there has been some entrepreneur and then there have been people who actually made real the planning of the entrepreneur or made some innovations of their own. Yes, we are talking about the intrapreneurs.Intrapreneurs could be understood as entrepreneurs that work within a big corporation. The term intrapreneur was firs

It seems so simple: write down your previous jobs and give some educational history, maybe offer a few details about what you want out of life. Easy stuff, right?Maybe not.A poorly written resume is worse than not having one at all. It can easily undo everything that is presented at an interview. No matter how perfectly you word your phrases, they will all be forgotten the minute an employer scans over a shoddy resume.So, what do you do? One way is to, of course, write it yourself, using templates and other sources, and hope your skills with words match yo

It may also translate into renovating the space for new services. If you're thinking that somewhere down the road along with selling upscale clothing, you'd like to add custom jewelry, it makes sense to find a space that you can easily convert when you're ready to expand.
- How long is the lease?
- Are you interested in purchasing the space at this time or at a future date?
- Will utilities need to be upgraded if you decide to add a new service?
- Are there any structural problems or concerns relating to renovation or expansion?
Running Costs:
Basic monthly running expenses need to be calculated along with the amount of sales you'll need to meet those costs. You must be realistic about all expenditures and income. Account for:
- All utilities.
- Employee costs.
- Expenses related to any equipment rentals.
- Costs for inventory.
- Lease and mortgage payments.
- Insurance costs.
- Shipping, invoice, duty expenditures and other fees or payments.
Potential income should be based on a realistic analysis of foot traffic, potential sales and earning potential of your average customer. It takes time for any business to catch on and even more time for it to turn a profit. Be reasonable in your estimates.
Renovation Costs:
Will there be any expenditures for renovating the premises, buying display equipment or creating the d?cor for your store? You will probably extend these costs via a business loan, which means the loan payment will be added to your monthly expenses.
Planning Consent:
You'll need to acquire the proper permits and licenses as they relate to your enterprise. These should be included in your start-up costs.
Two-fold Process
