Starting a Home Decor Business

 

 

Do you find yourself piecing together home decor looks from a magazine and translating it to your own work of art at home? Or, do you find yourself giving your girlfriends (And guy friends) home decor tips and advice but don't want to become an interior designer? If you answered yes, then you already have what it takes to start a home decor business!


 

The Concept

 

 

When starting a home decor business you can really go in to multiple directions as far as business models. Here are some examples of different business models you can choose from:

A. You can join a direct sales company and become a home decor specialist/consultant and sell home decor items by hosting home shows or via your consultant's website
B. Sell drop shipped home decor products via eBay and other online auctions sites

C. Open up your very own ecommerce store and sell your own home decor products

Once you figure out what sector of the home decor niche you would like to take, you can start right away with your business and start earning income immediately.



 

Startup Costs

 

Depending on the business model you decide for your home decor business; your start up cost will vary. For instance, if you become a home decor direct sales specialist your start up cost can range from $99 and up. To start up your own internet business it would cost you from $385 (Maybe less depending on the quality of service you obtain), and up just to get started. That would include fairly cheap hosting, a domain name, and drop-ship vendors.

 

 

 

How to Market It
 

Again, it really depends on what route you go with your home decor business. If you become a home decor direct sales consultant you will want to focus your marketing efforts off line and not so much online. If you start a home decor internet business you will want to do SEO on your online store as well as set up pay-per-click ad campaigns online. In addition to SEO and pay-per-click ads, you will also want to set up and affiliate program and regularly send out press releases on your new home decor business. The key to bringing in more sales to your new home decor internet business is targeted traffic, repeat customers, and word of mouth.
