How to start a furniture shop business

In this press release, YRC reaches out to aspiring entrepreneurs and businesspersons who intend to start or venture into the retail furniture business . An insight perspective on starting a furniture shop business and business management of furniture shops is highlighted below.

Consideration of Integration Strategy

One of the first things to consider in any business is to see if there exists any expertise or leverage in the value chain. It is also possible that a carpentry workshop with production experience and capabilities to get into direct selling by starting a retail showroom. If there is no such expertise or leverage, a good value proposition must be identified. It could be design, customization, delivery or any other element in the value chain that is capable of creating something uniquely valuable.

Discovering or Identifying Value Proposition

In delivering furniture business consulting services , YRC maintains that value propositions are no longer straightforward in furniture retailing. The emergence of many online businesses and modern store-based retail brands present a plethora of options to customers serving varied values to a varied range of customers. While consumer behavior in urban areas is tilting towards quick need resolution, there is still a major faction that relies on engaging with all the major physical touchpoints.

Containing the Inventory Cycle

A key feature with furniture is that the inventories involved tend to be heavy and bulky. This creates challenges in procurement, logistics, storage and final delivery. This also has financial repercussions. Storing and maintenance costs could become a burden if the inventory cycle gets longer. Also, with logistics and storage capacities already running at full capacities, it gets difficult to respond to changes in market demand. This explains the need for precise demand forecasting, effective promotional efforts, speedy overall operations, and effective supply chain management in the furniture retail industry.

Strategic Location and Logistics

The location of suppliers, warehouses, workshops, and studios/showrooms affects the amount of time consumed in transportation between different points in the value chain. Maintaining the right distance between value points is critical to be able to fulfil and respond to customer demands within a competitive timescale. YRC’s furniture business consultants recommend using suitable furniture retail management software.
