How to start a hardware franchisee

(1) Market research to understand the local market. Know yourself and know yourself, and you will win every battle. As a newcomer to the hardware industry, we must first understand the local hardware market. Visit the hardware stores, specialty stores and other places in the selected area or nearby. Mainly depends on the following aspects: whether there are hardware stores and how many. This can generally reflect the local concept of hardware consumption. The goods mainly displayed in the whole hardware store or specialty store (or the information of the goods mainly sold can be understood through communication with the owner and clerk). Know the prices of all kinds of goods in the store. (2) the location of the store. When you first enter, it is more appropriate to choose a crowded community, especially some newly built communities. The amount of hardware in these places is slightly larger. (3) Decorate the storefront. As a professional hardware seller, the store must be clean and tidy, and the goods should be placed neatly. It doesn't matter much how you decorate it. A very attractive layout can be made at a small cost. (4) stocking and business strategy. Don't be aggressive in buying goods, just bring in all the goods you think can be sold at once. This will bring you great risks. Unstable markets and unstable materials will affect your final sales. At first, you can buy some of the most commonly used local goods. The principle is to buy less and complete, often purchase goods and combine them in various ways. You can order from the local wholesale market or online. (5) Do a good job in after-sales service. Good after-sales service determines whether customers can decide whether your store can be opened for a long time. Large orders and small orders should be treated with the same enthusiasm. When the customer is satisfied with your service, he will unconsciously promote your shop for you. This effect is the best. And these customers will be long-term. Among them, one of the most important issues is the correct choice of this industry address. Because for the entrepreneurs of hardware franchise stores, the choice of stores is very particular. Don't be subjective. If you open a shop in a crowded place, there will be good business.
