Rent prom dresses out of your home
Prom dresses will always be needed in America, probably second only to food.Every school year, all across America, high school girls are vying for pretty prom dresses.
Prom dresses are expensive.
It is possible to buy below-cost prom dresses via sales, closeouts, and used (local paper or eBay). Get a mix of modest and risque outfits. When you know you have a popular outfit, try acquiring multiple sizes of the most popular sizes.
Many people find an easy business is renting those prom dresses out of their homes. You reserve one room as your "store", and display the dresses in there.
Provide a lighted closet or privacy screen for girls to try on the dresses. Provide a 3-fold mirror for the girls to model the dresses for themselves. Take care that the mirrors reflect neutral surfaces, rather than harsh elements that could discourage buying comfort.
Rent the dresses for $10-30 for two weeks, and stipulate the dresses must be returned dry cleaned or an extra $25 fee applies. Add a $1 per day late charge on the 15th day.
Most prom dresses rent for $50+, because those businesses have to pay for expensive retail storefront space. Do not dream that you can go bigger than your home rental space, because you would have to jack up your prices accordingly.
Look at this as a way to generate some extra cash, while helping out the market of girls struggling to afford nice dresses.
Create a sales form that functions like a contract in case you have to kick ass.
Check with your city's municipal laws regarding home businesses.
