Clarification of Question by att1016-ga on 26 Apr 2005 14:21 PDT

Response to jack of few trades:

Q: I'm not quite sure what you mean by script.

A: A web script -- php/perl/.net etc.



Q: Also, negotiating a price in person can easily leave customers feeling
unhappy with the process and they won't come back.  

A: We buy our merchendise at such a low price we can almost accept ANY
OFFER AT ALL and still make HUGE profits!

Q:Most people (in
the US atleast) prefer to know the price, buy it and get out rather
than haggle with the merchant over a couple bucks.  You will need a
very friendly staff of good negotiators who will not cost you a
fortune in giving away cheap goods yet will leave your customers
feeling good about the negotiation process.

A: good to know

Q: What are you hoping to sell in your store?

A: Name brand Jewlry/watches/electornics/clothes 

  Do you have a business
plan of any type? 

Q: Where are you located (downtown?, small town?, many
pedestrians?, easy/free parking?, good looking building?)

A: Online (the internet DOES offer free parking!)

Q: How do you plan on getting your customers?

A: Word of mouth -- imagine going in to a department store and naming
your own price on ANY item you want and they accept it een if it's $15
for a $50 product -- I think that can ALMOST promote itself

Thanks!

I'm not quite sure what you mean by script.

As far as a name your own price store goes, it will take a very
knowledgable and personable staff.  Assuming they don't have a list of
all the items in the store with a lower limit to prices then they will
have to know what everything is worth.  Depending on what type of
store this is, that could be a huge requirement for employees.

What are you hoping to sell in your store?  Do you have a business

pedestrians?, easy/free parking?, good looking building?) that will
all matter alot to the success of your store.  How do you plan on
getting your customers?
