Some tips for opening a pet shop

Pet shops are believed to be familiar to everyone. There are many pet shops in the streets now. In fact, there are many precautions for opening a pet shop. The following pets introduce you to the skills of opening a pet shop.

Correct site selection. Site selection is the key to the success of opening a store. First of all, avoid being occupied by peers. Secondly, to understand the occupancy rate of nearby communities, whether there are more "good dogs and cats" can become your target customers; Third, by observing the grades of customers' pets, we can determine the grades of goods provided by our own shops.

The property management requirements of pet shops are relatively high. First, dogs should not be allowed to bark and disturb the people. It is suggested to choose a storefront facing the main road and facing the community; Second, there must be effective ventilation facilities to discharge dog odor; Third, dog grooming requires the preparation of sewage outlets, disinfection tubes and violet germicidal lamps.

Ordinary pet shops only need the approval of the industrial and commercial bureau; If you want to do beauty, you must also get a health and epidemic prevention license from the health and epidemic prevention department.

Beginners had better get a pet dog first. If you want to know about pets, you should start with pet products, avoid excessive and miscellaneous goods, focus on investment, and then slowly expand.

When choosing imported goods, we must adhere to the formal import procedures. Retaining customers is the foundation of success. Pet shop is a service industry, and service must be supreme. Every employee is required to have the experience of keeping pets and can provide certain consulting services for customers in the store.

Establish the reputation of the store. Pet shops rely on word of mouth, so it takes a certain process in management to see results. Pet owners generally regard their pets as family members, so they usually spare no time and energy to go to a good store they trust. If you open a new store, you must build a good reputation if you want to attract customers. Usually three to six months is a normal period. If the store has not reached the ideal goal for more than 6 months, it is likely that there is a problem in the business premises.

Don't be too optimistic. Some shopkeepers think that as soon as the store opens, business will roll in. In fact, the survival of a shop needs to be close to half a year's training period. If the shopkeeper doesn't have enough funds to maintain the operation of the shop, he will face the danger of bankruptcy. Preparing more than 30% of working capital can avoid riding a tiger.

Advice for pets: diversify your business. Because of the fierce competition in the pet market, some products, such as dog food, have little profit margin, and it is difficult to maintain the operation of a store by one or two businesses. If you combine pet grooming (cleaning and trimming hair) with foster care, you can reduce stress.
