Most South Africans have experienced the economic fall-out from the Covid-19 pandemic over the past year. This has resulted in money being tight and many households struggling to make ends meet.

Tips on how to make the “Buy-A-Bale. Make your own cash!” work for you

Since there is always a market for clothing and especially jackets, and even more so premium quality jackets sold at great prices, you will always have customers and therefore a steady income.

If you are unable to spare enough to start your own coat business, you could always go into partnership with a friend or family member or two.

In doing so, you are sharing the costs of buying your first bale and your business has the opportunity of growing more rapidly as there are more people to sell the stock.

Pricing your stock is quite easy. First, you will need to work out the cost price of each item by taking the total amount you paid for the bale, and then dividing it by the number of items you have.

After this, we advise adding a healthy mark-up that will make your business profitable. Just be careful not to overprice your items as they will not sell as fast this way.

Once you have purchased your first bale, you can start selling your stock immediately.

Your customers will most likely come from people you know in your local community, family, friends, and people from work.

You can advertise your business through word of mouth, by making pamphlets that you hand out to people walking past or on local Facebook groups. You would be amazed at the response you get, especially if you run specials!

Lightweight jackets are great items for the summer as they can take the edge off the breeze when you are sitting outside during the evenings or walking home.
