Starting up in business

Tina, 11 July, 2024 at 07:59 Posted on Off Topic Posts 0 4

HI all, bit of a weird one, but how do people feel about the wedding dress industry - is it thriving or just ticking along. I'm in two minds as to where to start up a second hand / preloved dress shop as firstly I love this industry & secondly I tried to sell my dress I wore ( it was amazing ) and find that everyone wants to try it on first, as I can totally appreciate so very difficult to sell online. I want others to experience the wonder of the dress, get it reused rather than stuck in box, and ultimately also save brides a bit of money on buying their dress as preloved.

Opinions welcome from all ..good & bad thanks

    Nowadays, many people conduct business online and set up virtual workspaces which have become commonplace for many virtual businesses, startups and small companies. Using a virtual office address allows you to run your business efficiently without spending money on renting a physical office space. Working in a virtual space is convenient to find expert addresses to register your business, receive mail and messages, and have access to digital assistants who can perform administrative duties. Using a virtual office allows you to save big money, because instead of buying rent, utilities and a work gadget, you pay for the services that your business actually needs.

    The wedding dress industry is complex. Second-hand dresses offer sustainability and affordability. However, selling online can be challenging due to the desire to try on dresses. Consider a hybrid model, virtual try-ons, and partnerships to succeed in this market.

    I think a second-hand or preloved wedding dress shop could be a great idea! I had a similar experience with my own dress and found it tough to sell online because people want to see and try on the dress first.

    The wedding dress industry is such an interesting topic! I totally get your passion for starting a secondhand shop. I tried selling my own dress a while back and found it tough, just like you mentioned. Everyone wants to try it on first, and I ended up holding onto it longer than I planned.
