Personal Shopper Tipping
Any tips / suggections on becoming a Fashion Stylist / Personal Shopper in the Columbus, Ohio area?
I am trying to start up a business as a Fashion Stylist / Personal Shopper in the Columbus / New Albany, Ohio area. Does anyone have any tips or suggestions?
The best routes to take are to research the process of starting a business as well as the industry you’re interested in.
I recommend checking out the SBA, Entrepreneur, The Start Up Journal & Nolo. All 4 are great informational resources for the new/small business owner. I posted links for you in the source box.
Associations may be a good avenue to explore as well. These organizations will address many of the thoughts, questions and concerns you’ll inevitably have as well as many you haven’t anticipated yet. See the source box for some relevant links.
Research, research, research – this cannot be stressed enough. Read as much as you can about the industry. Here are some book titles that are relevant:
* How to Start and Operate an Errand Service (Revised 2nd Edition) by Rob Spina
* Start Your Own Personal Concierge Service (Entrepreneur Magazine’s Start Ups) by Entrepreneur Press
* The Concierge Manual, Second Edition by Katharine C. Giovanni
There are plenty of free informational resources out there. Check the source box for links to articles.
Hope that helps! I wish you much success & happiness in all your ventures!
