Although people's living standards have dropped a lot due to the impact of the epidemic in recent years, even so, some people still want to start a business. With the development of the decoration industry, the furniture industry will naturally have a certain impact. Therefore, if you want to open a physical furniture store, you should know how to open a physical furniture store? At the same time, what should you pay attention to when purchasing furniture? Let’s take a look at the introduction below.

How to open a physical furniture store

If you want to open a physical furniture store, of course you should make relevant financial preparations and conduct market research. After that, you should choose the store address and decorate it, and then recruit relevant employees to go to the corresponding department to apply for relevant business certificates. After all the preparations are completed, you can open the store for trial operation.

1. Prepare funds and market research

I believe that most friends who want to invest have a sum of funds on hand. It doesn’t matter if you don’t have one, you can raise startup funds in a variety of ways, such as borrowing from banks, etc. Secondly, before opening a store, we need to understand the entire market, what people's needs are, what the local people's consumption level is, which places have more demand, etc.

2. Store location selection and store decoration

The decoration style can be consistent with the headquarters, and the general cost is about 20,000 to 80,000 yuan. In order to ensure sufficient customer flow, store locations should be chosen near home furnishing stores, building materials markets, and residential areas.

The trick is to open the store near a famous chain store or a strong brand store, or even next to it. These famous brand stores have done a lot of detailed market research before selecting locations. Opening a store next to them can not only save time and energy in inspecting the site, but also "select" some customers with the help of their brand effect.

3. Recruiting employees

After the hard and soft decoration are prepared, it is time to start building a batch of store teams. In the past, in the traditional furniture industry, the boss himself took care of the business, or hired a shopping guide to look at the store for sales. Nowadays, franchised furniture stores need to provide full-service services such as shopping guide, measuring, design, installation, and after-sales. Therefore, franchisees need to form at least a complete team that can shoulder the entire chain of services.

4. Apply for documents

Investors need to go to the local authorities to apply for various business documents, such as: business license, tax registration certificate, etc.

5. The store officially opens

After the above work is completed, the store will be ready for opening. Generally, the opening will hold opening discounts to attract popularity. During the opening few days, the store will be ready for opening. Some promotional activities should be carried out days before the opening to ensure that there will be enough popularity when it opens.

What to pay attention to when purchasing furniture

1. Check the surface. Put your hands on the surface of the furniture and carefully check whether the polished surface is smooth, especially whether the legs and other parts are rough, whether there are streaks on the paint, whether the paint on the corners is too thick, and whether there are cracks or bubbles.

2. Determine whether the furniture is really made of solid wood. For example, if a cabinet door looks like a pattern on the outside, then corresponding to the position of the pattern change, look at the corresponding pattern on the back of the cabinet door. If the correspondence is good, it is a pure solid wood cabinet door. In addition, looking at scars is also a good way to identify pure wood: look at the location of the scarred side, and then look for corresponding patterns on the other side. One of the secrets to determine whether solid wood furniture is: wood grain and knots.

3. Determine what species the solid wood is made from. This directly affects price and quality. Ordinary solid wood furniture usually uses beech, ash, elm, white oak, catalpa wood, rubber wood, and oak wood, while precious mahogany furniture mainly uses rosewood, chicken wing wood, and rosewood.

The market for solid wood furniture is relatively chaotic, and there are often cases of shoddy goods and mixed tree species. It is better to buy products. At the same time, be aware that the price of wood is rising day by day, and anything that is too cheap may be a scam.

How to open a physical store for the furniture store introduced to you above? What should you pay attention to when purchasing furniture? After reading this, you should already understand. When choosing furniture, you should naturally recognize the brand of the furniture, because the brand's products can reassure people in terms of quality. After that, you must observe the material with good quality. It is more environmentally friendly and healthy. At the same time, we should also pay attention to the overall decorative effect and home decoration style, etc.
