First, conduct market research to understand local demand, consumer preferences, and competition, identifying target customers and key product categories.
Next, choose reliable suppliers like Zhongshitong—licensed and reputable—to ensure product quality and stable supply. Then select a store location in high-traffic, affluent areas such as shopping malls or commercial streets.
Simultaneously, obtain necessary licenses like business permits and cosmetics operation certificates. Brand promotion is crucial—use online and offline channels to boost visibility. Secure funding to cover rent, renovation, inventory, salaries, etc. Finally, build a professional sales team, train them in product knowledge and sales skills, and prioritize customer service.
