Business Storage for your start-up
Apr 16, 2020
Are you one of the many Kiwis who are rethinking how they do business?
The start of 2020 has seen some big changes in how we do business both in New Zealand and also across the world, with more and more people working from home
or finding that their employment options are limited.
Individuals and businesses are looking for ways to boost their income, reduce their running costs and some are going as far as to start up a new venture from home. It has been clear for some time that you don't need a physical shop to start selling a product or service and the success stories of people setting up in their spare room or garage are easy to find.
We have had many clients who rent storage space
from us for their stock, and we've learned a thing or two from them along the way.
Do your research
Before you do anything else you need to make sure that you've done your research. Know your product, your audience and how to find them.
- But also be sure to understand all the areas of how your business will run effectively.
- Will you need someone to design and run your website?
- Where do your products come from or is it something that you create yourself?
- Will you need to find storage space for supplies or stock?
- How many employees will you have, if any?
There are a lot of questions you should answer before you dive in. The more you know the better prepared you will be.
Do one thing and do it well!
No doubt you'll want to expand your product range down the line but you should try to focus on a small range of products to start with and find your niche.
Understanding who in the world is interested in what you're selling will be a big key to your success. And if you can find a gap in the market then even better!
Keep it simple and know your audience!
Things can move quickly, so be ready.
Prepare for the growth of your business. Once you have set up your e-commerce site and gone live you should think about getting yourself noticed. Learn some basic marketing skills or employ a marketing agency for expert advice.
Once you've got the ball rolling things can begin to move quickly. You'll want to make sure that you are prepared and flexible enough to keep up with your growth. Will you have enough time or staff to keep up with the orders that rolling in!
More importantly do you have enough stock in your inventory? Consider getting set up with a flexible storage unit that can accomodate your needs.
