How much you spend renting a shop depends on so many factors. It depends on the location of the shop, the spot the shop is, and more. However, just make sure you are not spending more than 40% – 50% of your capital to rent a shop.

6. Buy your Baby’s Products

Baby products can be bought from different clothing markets in Nigeria. Eko market and Tejuosho market are the most common markets to buy baby products at the cheapest prices. You should buy your products from these markets. After buying them wholesale, you should get them delivered to your shop to stock them.

7. Start Selling your Products

It is important you take note of the prices of your products. You want to be familiar with the cost prices and their selling prices. The best way to make sure you do not forget is for you to write them in a book. Write the cost of each product and their selling prices.

Also, write the products that you sell every day to know how much sales you make regularly. As for when you can start selling your baby products, you should start selling them immediately as soon as possible. Sell to your family and friends for starters and as time goes by attract prospects to buy from you.
