Which sizes to keep in your store for new opening boutique?

If you are still at planning and preparation stage at opening a boutique, you might not be very sure your clientele requirements yet.

Several factors for your consideration of clothes sizes to keep in your boutique:
1.  Boutique opening location
Which country, culture and trend in your country?  For example if you are now opening a boutique located in Asia, then Small to Large sizes are more practical.  You may not want to stock up Size
XL or XXL.

2.  Market trends
Do people like to wear fitting outlook, or big & casual outlook?

3. Clothes material
Some material such as silk, you may consider 1 size bigger because
silk usually is not elastic.

4. Clothes fashion/design
Some designs are meant to be fitting on body and not because the size is too big.  So, choose it wisely.

More tips……
1.  Take yourself as a yardstick.
If most people in your country is in your size, then you can use your own body measurement when  you visit showroom.

2.  Observe and make analysis
Record the buying trend of your customer in stock taking logbook.  You may not get
it right in the beginning, it’s perfectly OK!  I am sure you will understand your clientele requirements over a period.

3.  DO NOT buy too many variation in sizes
I think the choices of 3 sizes at maximum is sufficient.  You can always buy again if there’s more demand.

4.  Check with your supplier
You can ask your suppliers which sizes are the most sellable :)  By doing that, you’re actually doing a market research too!!

5.  Listen to your customer and be sensitive to their needs.
