Your customers’ want.

You can ask random people on the street what kind of gifts they would want to buy or gift their loved ones. The survey will help you deduce, the majority and minority of products.

Name or description of your gift shop business.

You must have a name for your shop, like obviously.  You might want to spend some time during this process. Choose an original, creative and attractive name. Do not forget to check it on the internet, making sure that no one else is using it. And then you give a description of your company.

Hiring.
You can hire people if you cannot take the workload. But this will cost you extra which you would want to save. So my suggestion is to not to hire staff. The money can be used for merchandise.

Learn how to bookkeep.
Do not forget to write down records for your gift shop and tax purposes. This way you will know how well you are doing financially each day.

Therefore, Gift shops are small businesses which help you grow at a steady rate. If you want your business to grow, you have to stay dedicated. Do not get demoralized if you are facing losses at first. When you stumble then you can pick yourself up and go further.
