INVENTORY
You have three choices:
-
Carry no inventory:
Just take orders from your catalogs and order forms (see selling
tools).
-
Carry samples:
Just buy one of each item which you think will appeal to your customers.
Then show your samples and take orders. You can use your gym bag to tote
around your samples or you can buy a foldable rolling rack (see selling
tools).
-
Carry inventory:
Actually buy and keep in stock all the merchandise that you think will sell
best to your customers.
PAYING FOR THE INVENTORY
These are the three steps you
follow::
-
The customer prepays you.
You are responsible for collecting sales tax and shipping from your
customers.
-
You prepay Fitness
Fashions, including shipping.
-
Fitness Fashions ships
the merchandise directly to you.
SUMMARY
Your customer pays for
shipping and sales tax, you make a profit. If an item costs you $16.00 and you
charge your customer $32.00 (the retail price), you make a profit of $16.00.
