Location

The most important step in opening a shoe store is market positioning. It is necessary to observe the consumption level and consumption habits of the target market, and carefully summarize and analyze. Opening a store is no simple matter. According to the consumption situation of the target market, work out a suitable position for yourself. For example, the demand for sports shoes in the target market is large, but the supply is small, so we can position ourselves on sports shoes. Then there is site selection. A good location can get twice the result with half the effort, and a location in remote and fringe areas may take a lot of time and effort to gain popularity. When we select a location, we must also consider issues such as the combination of transfer fees and rent. We must proceed from reality and select a suitable store within our budget.

Decoration & Design

According to your own behavior style, you should design the corresponding decoration style. If you sell brand shoes, you need to decorate the store high-end, and sports shoes need to be vigorous. When we are decorating, it is best to have our own ideas and not to imitate other people’s store styles. If we are selling sports shoes, then the store can put some running or other sports posters. The color in the store can be red or black, this can be according to your preference. If you have a logo, it is best to match the color of the logo.

There are also many types of display furniture in shoe stores. We can find a custom company to help us design the internal layout and furniture.

Purchase & Display

When choosing goods, we need to find some places close to us, we can check the quality of the goods and save a delivery fee. Observe the products more, it is best to shop around and compare prices and quality.

After choosing the goods and purchasing them, you need to put them in the shop and display them. The placement of the shoes also has certain requirements. We can consider how to place it according to the heel type, shoe type, fabric, and other aspects. There are front, side, forward, and reverse placement.

Sales Skills

When selling, the most important things is our attitude and words. When it is time for customers to enter the door, we have to smile, step forward to welcome, and learn to observe customers. Observe their dress, behavior, and try to figure out their personalities, and so on. Learn to praise customers, but don’t too deliberate.
