Opening a Dollar Store Requires Preplanning and Preparation

Author: Bob Hamilton

The day when luck alone will carry you to success is long gone in today’s business environment. In fact, no-one should enter any business and assume they can just open the doors to achieve their success. Those eager to stack the deck in their favor must invest the time and effort to develop a clear and concise plan for their business. Then they must execute to the plan they’ve developed. Only then are they positioned to achieve the success they seek. In this article I present opening a dollar store requires preplanning and preparation.

If you are opening a dollar store develop your business plan upfront. In fact creating a solid business plan is one of the very first actions to take. This should be done prior to buying products, starting your advertising, and moving forward with staffing. Your plan needs to be used as a roadmap for where you are going and how you will be getting there. It is the single most important tool for you to use and follow in the start-up and the continued growth of your business.

Be sure to establish specific goals and expectations when opening a dollar store business. Make sure your goals are measurable. Saying ‘you’ll be the best dollar store around’ sounds good, but how can you know when you’ve achieved that result? Instead of a general statement, set specific targets for all key metrics of performance. Your sales, cost-of-goods-sold, labor expense, and other key measures of business performance need to be included. Then measure your business performance against those specific goals.

Establish specific actions to achieve each of your goals. Your action plan should define exactly what steps you plan to take to reach each critical operational metric. Together, specific goals and actions keep you and your business focused on the most important actions to be taking. It’s easy to know if you are executing to the actions you’ve defined. It’s also easy to know when you’ve achieved the goals you’ve set.

If you are opening a dollar store don’t leave anything about achieving success to the luck of the draw. While some may start their business counting on ‘luck’ to make them successful, don’t you join that crowd. Know your plan. Know your goals. Know the steps you’ll take to achieve those goals. Measure performance against the goals you establish. You’ll be glad you did.

To your success opening a dollar store!
