How Do You Start A Teacher Resale Store?
Teacher resale stores provide educators with easy access to economically priced teaching materials. These stores benefit teachers, as they allow them to sell their gently used teaching goods and purchase second-hand supplies for use in their own classroom. Running a teacher resale store is relatively simple and, if done right, can be quite profitable. Secure a location. Rent or lease a small stand-alone or strip mall business space to house your teacher supply store. Look for vacated properties, since they may still contain fixtures, which can be a major cost savings to you as you can re-purpose the space to fit your needs. Acquire fixtures. If the space you select does not have fixtures in place, shop for fixtures to meet your needs. Be creative to save money by re-purposing items not originally intended to be retail store fixtures. You can also search for gently used fixtures and acquire them at a discounted rate. Decide if you want to purchase items from teachers or offer consignmen
