do you know anything about teh furniture business at all? Because all this advice is extremely generic (though it makes common-sense). None of that advice has anything to do with the furniture biz...might as well be selling widgets.
Furniture stores :
1. they have to be big, so rent is high. Lots of square feet are needed to show all the furniture. (Compare this with a store that sells Matchbox cars)
2. You are often showing display items, because people will want other colors and it takes a few weeks to make them. Yoyu and your salespeople have to understand the cocnept of "any color and fabric" and be able to deliver that message to the consumer.
Combined with #1 above, you have to select which pieces are most likely to be sold or attract other buyers - there is no value to putting out 10 similar beds, for example.
3. Financing. Most people can't afford to spend $10,000 cash on a few pieces of furniture. Therefore, you may (depending on size and volume) be able to get intothe fiancing business. This is extremely lucrative if you do it right, but it;s not for the fainthearted or inexperienced.
4. Where are you getting your furniture? Here on the East Coast, much of it is made in the Carolinas. I am sure you can do better than that distance wise, but given the size and weight of the furniture, shipping is a big issue.
There are a few other things I would do too. It's in your best interest to PM me.
