Selling furniture and home furnishings is a popular and potentially lucrative field. Everyone always needs these items, and while the market fluctuates somewhat, the need will never go away, providing a sense of stability. Home furnishings are a critical part of the U.S. economy as well as the best way to turn a house into a home.
To succeed in the retail furniture and furnishings industry, you’ll need to do your local market research and generally offer something that will stand out in the field, such as exceptional customer service, value or specialty items. if you feel comfortable with your work ethic, ability to identify trends, and marketing skills, you can buy a furniture and furnishings store and succeed.
One major trend in the field is selling either exclusively online or doing so in conjunction with a brick-and-mortar location. Either way, you must understand the market you’ll be targeting. Will you aim for the budget buyer and strip down the operation to its bare essentials while focusing on discounts and bargains? Or perhaps you’ll do better to aim for the luxury market, relying on good customer service and high markups.
One of the biggest choices you’ll have to make is whether to sell through the internet alone or establish a showroom and brick-and-mortar store. About 60% of consumers still shop in-store, and 40% spend more than they planned to when in stores. Plus, the ability to put furniture into a showroom is especially helpful to give a sense of how it will look in customer’s homes. In-person customer service is also a major benefit, adding to sales and giving you the opportunity to interact one-on-one.
If you have a passion for being your own boss and have a good head for business, you can build a fantastically successful enterprise.
