In this article you will find:
Write your idea
It's much more difficult to get started if your idea is still intangible and not fully established. Write everything you want about your business. Where do you want to go, when do you want to start, what is the channel going to be, what exactly are you going to sell, the staff, and everything else you consider pertinent.
From that list you can see more clearly what you will need to start your business. You can also write a SWOT, which consists of the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of any project.

Make a plan
Now that you have a better idea of your needs, set dates to search for every little item you need. For example, go out and find some place to establish your store if you require it, start looking for merchandise and distributors, look for a good design for your brand, find out about the possible marketing strategies that you could apply ...
You will never have free time from now on because having a business is quite absorbing, so it is better to organize yourself well so that you do not forget anything or have to look for things at the last minute.

Acquire the resources
Do you have the complete project but still don't have the slightest idea of how you are going to finance it? Don't worry, you don't have to wait for a bag of gold to drop from the sky to start your own business. Bank loans are probably your best option.
If not, you can search for sponsors. Start looking for stores similar to the one you want to start and contact their sponsors. Send them your summary of the business, what you would need from them and what you offer them in return. You should start this long in advance because it is quite time consuming.

Find your merchandise
Don't let this take away too much time and energy. On the internet you can find many reviews about everything you need, be it clothes, footwear, video games and much more. Another option is to look for recognized brands so that your purchase is much safer.
Get employees
This is only in case you need it, of course. You must first establish what his obligations will be and how much you are willing to pay him. Then write a job proposal and post it on as many sites as you can.
A good option is a mobile application called Proven, which helps you recruit people for your business. Automatically publish your job offers on different pages to search for a job, and allows you to know the data of the applicants, in addition to classifying them as you want.
This application is free, although you must pay a certain commission depending on how many people you hire through it.
Do not forget the design and decoration
This part is important because it will be the image that you will give to the public, what you are going to transmit with the naked eye. The more attractive and welcoming it is, the better results you will obtain in your sales. If you're not good at it, hire someone to do these jobs for you. If, on the contrary, you are very interested in this topic, exploit your creativity and give your business your personal touch.
Once you have your business ready, you will be ready for your clients, and that is when you can apply these fabulous strategies to attract new customers. They will not let you down!
