Own online site....I want to open a site selling jeans, but I have no idea how much stock to buy! How much...?

Question

stock do online sellers usually buy when starting out on an online business?

Answer 1

Girl your back to front go ask people would they buy first then work out if you multiplied your efforts / result by blah you would need x amout of units.

Or you could join a goooood dropship company who will deliver take payment for you but heay the first sale in marketing is all about getting future sales so dropship wont usually alow you to send your own advertising / repurchase address in the parcel.

remember when doing this research you could snatch the cash people are willing to pay at the time and fill their orders

Answer 2

Maybe you could come up with a marketing idea to get people to sign up to something on your website and give their size and age details. That may give you some idea of how many hits you're getting and what your market is.

I would guess that it would be best to start small rather than risk having unsold stock that you can't get rid of. You can always order more if you need it.

Answer 3

I'd say have about 10 in stock. That way if it goes slow with the selling you didn't waste that much money.

But if you sold it before and sold alot, then i'd say have around 25-30 in stock.
