For the furniture industry in two or three years!Estimates have been made up of now: product styles, price competition;Homogenization competition of bedroom furniture;Disorderly low-price competition...

Transformation to: the competition of the comprehensive strength of the brand, the competition of operation tactics and strategies, and the competition of the brand's product system.

Bulk stores: mainly the competition of purchase channels, mainly represented by Hebei goods and Ganzhou goods.

Welcome friends in the furniture industry and friends in the marketing planning industry to communicate

A word of advice: furniture will not be so easy to make money after 2-3 years, now the furniture has been white-hot, 2-3 years later furniture will be as thin as the current electrical appliances, relying on new products to make money;But it's not that you can't make money.

You want to make furniture depends on how big your store is, do you want to do brand or bulk?The rules of the 2 games are different.

The brand has company support including decoration and advertising, ranging from 50-200 per square meter, but this is also not easy to get. Secondly, the brand cost is higher, 500 square meters of shopping malls need about 400,000 yuan for Guangdong furniture, and about 300,000 yuan for mainland (Chengdu) furniture.

Bulk goods are completely different, you need to be quite familiar with the market furniture, the same panel suite price from 1500-3000, depending on your positioning and consumer group, in addition to the distribution and in-store adjustment need to be handled by themselves. But the advantage is that the source of goods can be very cheap and quite competitive;And flexible.

In the end, all shopping guides sell not products, but services, the main thing is that you put the service in place, and it is time to make people unbearable, and you will naturally make money.

Major items: First of all: you have to have a suitable brand (product), which you think has development potential and trust.

Second: you have to have a reasonable storefront, this is the most important question whether you can open up, now there are a lot of furniture cities but good locations are not easy to find.

Third: you also need to have a certain amount of financial support.

Item: When you have the above conditions, you can prepare to open a store.

First of all, you have to do the store decoration before the opening, product layout, personnel recruitment (you can also sell goods yourself), if you are the general agent, you must also have delivery personnel, vehicles and warehouses, if it is a distribution, it is easier to do.

If you recruit a salesperson, you also need to carry out training and other work.
