Small Business Start-Up: "How-To"

How to Start a Business Selling Products for Kids

Next --►


      Many moms who are looking to start their own business want to do something that involves kids and products for kids. It's a natural extension to their daily lives so it fits in perfectly.

If you're one of these moms, think about what aspect of kids' products you would like to sell. What's important to you as a family? Be sure to pick something that you really believe in. If you do, then your prospects will sense that and be more open to what you're trying to sell.

If education is first and foremost in your family, then you might want to choose companies that offer books and software that help children's minds and imaginations grow. You can choose a religious-based program to help with spiritualism or a non-religious one that will appeal to a broader sector.

Maybe books aren't your thing. Then you may opt to sell toys or stuffed animals. There are a lot of educational products out there as well, in case you want to do a mix of toys and something that will teach kids something.

One thing to consider when deciding which products to sell is how popular are the products? Would you be the only rep in your area? If you have too much competition in small local area, then the chances of success could very be slim.

Ask other moms to see what products they would be interested in buying. What are they looking for? Be sure not to do any pre-selling when you're asking them. You don't want to turn them off before you even start selling anything!

Research the company for which you are looking to become rep. Are they reputable? Do they pay their reps on time? Look them up on the Internet and see if anything interesting comes up. Also check the Better Business Bureau for complaints.

Do you want to carry inventory, or would you rather your customers buy from you and then the products get shipped directly to them? Do you mind hand delivering the goods? There are so many different delivery methods so you need to make sure to do what's right for you.
