Bluelight Specials are back in every single store, every single day, and everyday online.A thrift shop requires several factors for success. It doesn't take much to open a thrift store, just a few items for sale, a place for people to come buy what you have and a way to take the money.

Making a thrift store operation successful is more complicated. Just because you're offering used merchandise at discounted budget prices doesn't mean you can ignore the rules of running a profitable retail store. LicensesThe licenses required depend on the location of the thrift store and its purpose. If it's run for and by a charity, rather than for profit, the licensing and registration may differ. The store will most likely need to have a reseller license, sometimes called a sales privilege license, to collect state sales tax. TypeThrift stores can offer all sorts of products from clothing to baby furniture to gardening products, or the store may specialize in one type of product, say, gently used clothing. Scout the competition to decide if you should generalize or focus on one type of product and, if so, which one. InventoryAn inventory of used merchandise is necessary for a thrift store. Obtain the merchandise through donations; going to yard, tag and garage sales; or shopping online auction sites.

Buy only those products that you know can get a markup of at least 50 percent or more. The typical retail markup is 50 percent. In the retail industry this is called "keystone." For example: If you purchase a product at $1.00, then the retail price will be $2.00. Another way to think of keystone is to double the cost. Retail SpaceYou could have a church thrift shop on church property to avoid paying rent. However, that may not generate the best traffic. Choose a spot that gets lots of drive-by traffic. If possible, situate the thrift store near other bargain stores or manufacturing outlets and seconds stores. When choosing the site, keep in mind how much inventory you'll be offering. A crowded store is difficult for customers to navigate and find what they want. A large store with the merchandise spread out looks like it doesn't have much to offer. MarketingEven though you're operating a thrift store you still need a marketing plan to let potential customers know you're there and what kinds of products you have.
