How To Open Your Own Christian Book Store

By Phyllis Schroeder


The start-up of a business should be easier when you establish a business that is within one's interest. When you are interested in books and you are religious, then you might want to start a Christian book store Waterbury CT. If you plan to get into this niche, then here are the best tips you should consider for the said start-up.

First, decide on the religion your business can cater to. It should be okay to focus on only one religion but you might wish to consider going for other religions as well. This is mainly because you can earn more profits this way. Carry out what faiths are strong in the community. You will have to cater to them too.

It will be good for you to have a partner who is a business savvy individual as well. This partner can be a business manager or an accountant. This partner is the individual to assist you with the business, especially in regards to planning out your financing and keeping books. These tasks can be personally carried out by you if you take up beginning courses in financial management too.

The name of the business should be decided as well. When it comes to the business name, you must pick the one that is catchy and appealing. It should appeal the most to the demographics you are targeting. If you are also interested in the establishment of your online presence, then you have to register your domain name.

The location for the said business should also be researched. You must buy or lease a space where you can carry out your business operations. If you do not have a big capital to invest in the business, do not start with renting or leasing a big space. You have to start by finding a store that suits your business size then just upgrade it later.

There are furniture that must be acquired for the proper operations of this business. In your start up venture, you need to obtain tables and chairs, lighting, couches, shelving, and other relevant furniture for your venture. You better get them in furniture shops. You can also look for the sales event of those businesses that are going away.

When getting the inventory, you must contact a distributor. The more distributor you find, the better. Once you contact them, establish trade accounts. If it is possible, you should try to order from the publishers directly. It can be way cheaper to order from publishers directly than to deal with distributors.

You have a number of stocks to purchase for this business. In this venture, you focus mainly on buying religious books and reading materials. However, you can also add religious supplies, CDs, DVDs, and similar stuff into your inventory. You should plan out when to buy your stocks to prevent overstocking on those products that do not sell.

Marketing the business to your targeted religious communities is a given. Sending out announcements regarding your venture to senior citizen homes, yoga studios, nursing homes, local churches, and community centers should be a good idea. Hosting social events and book clubs to raise awareness should be good as well.
