Think of ways to stand out among the many school uniform stores available in the market.
- Quality of your school uniform will be the first considerations of your customers. Durability, construction and comfort go with quality.
- Availability of your products. Offer half sizes for girls and boys. Offer hard to find boy’s pants. Offer first communion apparel’s for boys and girls. Offer sizes ranging from XXS to XXXL. Offer school athletic wear and physical education apparel. Offer plaid jumpers and skirts. Offer sweatshirts, sweaters and knit shirts with customized embroidery. Offer easy to assemble logos for the school uniforms. Offer uniforms for faculty and school administrators as well. Offer custom made uniforms.
- Your service will also be considered. Offer your products all year round. Offer free consultation service. Offer alteration services at a reasonable price. Entertain customers through online ordering, over the phone transactions and walk in customers.
- Your staff. Hire the most efficient staff and seamstress (only if this applies) to help you assist students in getting the exact fit.
- Offer free ground shipping if your customers are just within your area or couple of miles away from your store.
With all these in mind, of course all businesses be it small or big must apply for the necessary permits and licenses. Look for a store that is accessible to the public. Provide a bigger storage area for your school uniforms and other products. Join groups and associations regarding the business. Members from these groups can give you updates, tips, strategies, and support. You can also have access to those who have already made it big in the business. They may be able to share with you the recipes of their success.
Moreover, strategize your marketing plan. Do online business. This is one of the most effective ways of advertising your business other than word of mouth.
