Chicken depot

usually anything poultry related >>> depot, broiler farm, transport (of feed and live broilers)>> has great earning potential, just not right now. Its just about the worst time to get into that industry, with the reduction in sales due to our economy and the influx of "cheap frozen meat".

Thinking of starting a business .... looking at a women's clothing store

so i have a couple of questions
1. which is better: to go to countries like Miami and shop or shop online(esp with regards to customs fees)
2. how long does it take to breakeven (so i would no how much months capital i should have)
3. Is there any formal classes i cud take with regards to "what types of clothing best suits which body types"
4. What other problems do you encounter or that i should be prepared for

[AbstractPoetic]

Hey monkeypeaches,

Before addressing your questions may I ask what type of clothing you wish to sell and target audience? Are you tailoring for the casual woman, business woman, young women, older women, plus size women etc?

First off what location are you looking at?
Why are you jumping into a store without proper market research?
You will need at least 1 year's capital and 3 months living expenses
Clothes stores are common with ppl shopping in Miami and Panama frequently, you should consider niche marketing, scour the web and look for something unique and look at forward trends
I can give you lots of ideas but you'll have to pay for them

[DevilZ]

identify market first...check out the competition for the market then think about capital...location, suppliers and trends are just ways to help u find a competitive edge

Too expensive and the best bras out there are by Victoria Secrets which can easily be bought online.

Not sure if things have changed since I was last there but Trinidad/Tobago is lacking in a diversity of good quality clothing for women of all sizes where prices are reasonable. Most of the clothing stores/chains sell the same clothing of cheaper material and in the smallest of sizes.

It would be great if a woman can go to one store for all her clothing needs--jeans, tops, shirts, blouses, dress pants, suits, etc for whatever the occasion and be able to find her size.

The closest chain store that came to providing decent clothing was The London Company but their selection was limited.

[monkeypeaches]

hmm i agree didn't do any research

location - somewhere south

looking at the young casual and maybe business woman

thanks ppl

[monkeypeaches]

eliteauto mite just take u tp on that offer.

[r3iXmann]

dude,no offense,but if you have to post on a web forum asking about the basics of starting a business,then it's something that you probably shouldn't be looking at

how about investing in an existing business and giving them ideas for expansion etc?

[Notorious Scullman]

Sounds like you're onto something great!

I'm assuming from the gist of your post that you have more than enough money than you know what to do with and it probably came easily, so my advice would be to post your name and address, and within 45 mins I'll be at your gate in a white "PCM" B13 Sentra.

Come out and we can chat about the best approach to this plan

ditto

BUT eliteauto gave you some good advice thurre


IMO the market is saturated and i don't see how some of these stores turn stock *shrug* but you have to study your target as AP said. the
strategies would vary
