Store Planning is the most important part of the process of opening your own business. It is crucial to plan everything out before you go out and buy the things you "think" you need. Using excel can help organize everything out, with items and prices.
Money can go quickly when opening your own store and chances are that you will not make a profit and break even in your first year.
Store planning will help you spend money wisely, get the essentials and make your store as good as it can be!
Store planning does not stop at the purchasing process of materials, fixtures and merchandise, it is also the lay out of the store.
The layout of the store is important to the way you want your customers to walk around and see everything you have. Studies have shown that most people naturally look left first in a store, then right and work around the store counter clockwise. You do not want to overwhelm your customers so by using small aisles to show your merchandise with breaks in between with displays can be easy on the eye of the customer and give them a chance to see how you pair a top with a bottom to create more opportunities to sell more.
