Starting a Three-in-One Business

Q. I have an idea that actually consist of three businesses. I would like to open a place where a person could get his/her hair done/cut and also purchase clothing for a complete make-over so to speak.- Shawn

Advice by Nach Maravilla

A. Dear Shawn,

You have a great idea and I know it will work because I had a friend who did just exactly what you are thinking. And it worked.

Actually, if you have a good amount of capital, you can go for it by yourself. You can rent space in a mall or any place where you think the customers will easily find you. The space must be good enough to accommodate the area that you need for the hair and beauty salon. Somewhere in a corner, you place your rack for the clothes that you want to sell. This rack or hanger must be always visible to your customers whether they are facing the mirror or not. Then place your waiting area very near this corner to allow customers to look at the merchandise while they are waiting for their turn.

Also, you will need a small fitting room but I suggest that you don't install a big sized mirror inside. You should ask those who try the clothes to come out and look at the fit at the waiting area mirror. This will allow the waiting customers to see those who are trying the clothes on and that will give them the clue that you have these clothes available for sale.

Soon, it will be automatic for all your customers to come to your place and possibly buy your clothes.

Now, if you don't have enough capital, you can invite some fashion designers or store owners to consign their goods at your shop or join you as a partner. So many ways to do it.

Since you just presented this idea without a question, I suppose you just want us to confirm that you have a good idea. Of course.

Go for it.

Good luck
