First you will need to set up a business and then apply seperately to every company you want to carry.They have some restrictions in terms of locations and product displays. Better to check each of them out.\n\nAs far as numbers, usually the markup is around 30-40%...so you can estimate.\n\nSmall biz resources - http://www.shop4mybiz.com

A cart / stall at a mall must be catchy and attractive. So you must go to the mall to survey whether there is any demand for your soon to be opened cart /stall. Check out any competitor for your intended products before you even set up. Pricing is also important as you need to profit to pay of the rental , cost of goods as well as other fees you may incur.\n\nNormally cart products focus on handiness  meaning easy to carry. Perhaps you can consider the following :-\n1. Costume jewelleries ie beads, necklace, earrings, hair clips\n2. Watches\n3. Food stuff - snacks, chocolate  kind of buy and resell.\n4. Soft toys\n5. Figurines ie spiderman , batman or maybe matchbox cars\n6. Puzzle\n7. Crystal\n8. Handmade stuff like home made cookies, handcrafts etc\n9. Electronic gadgets\n10. Second hand books resell\n11. Lady's stuff like handbags, scarf, purse, belts, decorative stuff.\n\nif you need supplies for costume jewelleries, handbags and electronic gadgets, I can help.

Make up business cards with punches on them, creating a free sandwich when the card is full, or a free capuccino. Get cups, with your business name on them, sell them, giving a discount on refills. That brings the customer back to you to get a discounted drink. Anything that gets the customer returning is good. Put out samples of some items. Have other non-food items available for sale that advertise your business. Put out a sidewalk sign, advertising your grand opening. Use balloons & banners on the front of your building. Have friends or your kids stand out in front passing out balloons with your business name printed on them. Have fun. Good luck. <*)))><

You've got a couple of issues here -- let's tackle one at a time.\n\nRE: Retail Sales of the trading cards\n\nThe best routes to take are to research the process of starting a business as well as the industry you're interested in.\n\nI recommend checking out the SBA, Entrepreneur, The Start Up Journal & Nolo. All 4 are great informational resources for the new/small business owner. I posted links for you in the source box.\n\nAssociations may be a good avenue to explore as well. These organizations will address many of the thoughts, questions and concerns you'll inevitably have as well as many you haven't anticipated yet. See the source box for some relevant links. \n\nResearch, research, research – this cannot be stressed enough. Read as much as you can about the industry. Here are some book titles that are relevant:\n\n* Start and Run a Profitable Retail Business by Jim Dion, Ted Topping\n* Retail Business Kit for Dummies by Rick Segel \n* Specialty Shop Retailing: How to Run Your Own Store Revised by Carol L. Schroeder\n* So You Want To Own The Store: Secrets to Running a Successful Retail Operation by Mort Brown\n\nThere are plenty of free informational resources out there. Check the source box for links to articles.\n\nRE: Copyright\n\nYou would apply for a copyright, not a patent, for any original designs.\n\nCopyrights can be obtained for things of an artistic nature. This includes, of course, poetry, films, sculptures, music, fiction, etc. But can also include things that may not necessarily seem "artistic" in the general sense of the word. Copyrights can also be obtained for advertising copy, games, software programs and blueprints, to name just a few. \n\nYou can do this at the US Copyright Office – see the last 2 links in the source box. The application is fairly simple & the cost is $30 per application (it will likely rise to $45 by July 1).\n\nHope that helps! I wish you much success & happiness in all your ventures!

You'll need to get the license from the local municipality in which you want to open your shop.  You'll be required to pay a license fee, and you'll also need to collect sales tax on any parts that you sell, and remit that tax to the state.\n\nYou'll also need a federal tax id number and you'll need a state tax id number.

There many ways of doing this. When a business go out of business many times their stock is sold at Auction to liquidate debt. This a good way to buy items that are New. They may Auction in Lot Size, so you may have to bid on 5-10 MP3 players at a time (MP3 is an example), say they sell for $100, you may get them for $20 but have to bid on 10-50 at one time to do this.\nBuy from the company, you need to be a Business. A sole proprietorship is easy and you Social Security number is your tax I.D. in most cases. To buy Wholesale you need your business license which you get from your State Revenue Office, if I remember correct. It just a paper you hang on the wall with your company name (Go to a small business and ask to see theirs and they show you) You send a copy of this to the Wholesalers you buy from so they have it on record. They sell to you wholesale and tax free.\nThere other means of obtaining products, this just a few. There really too much to be able to cover here.

Once you get the place incorporated then you need to think about franchising and merchandising subsets.  With the proper marketting, logo, and theme-song you should become a stellar success.

YOu need to first decide what market you are going to sell to (lower, middle, or upper class).  Are you going to make the handbags or buy them wholesale to resale.  What materials will you use (expensive leather, suedes and chenilles...or low cost polyesters and cottons)?  Do you require 1 extra employee or 4?  Will you want to have a physical store (which can cost more) or sell at flea markets and online auction sites(which will cost less and make your items visible to a variety of people)?  Do you prefer to make alot money from one item at once or make money from a few items over a period of time.  Decide on all of this and you should know where you want your numbers to fall
