FAQ
- Which homeware departments produce dependable profit?Split sales and margin across cookware, textiles, furniture, lighting, gifts and seasonal ranges. Deduct markdowns, breakage, delivery, returns and storage, then compare contribution with floor space and stock investment.
- How should ageing homeware inventory be valued?Age every SKU by receipt date and last sale, identifying discontinued designs, incomplete sets, damaged packaging and ex-display items. Base value on achievable clearance proceeds, not original retail price or supplier list price.
- Are imported and own-brand products properly documented?Sample electrical, upholstered, children's and food-contact products for traceability, safety information, test evidence and correct markings. Establish who is legally responsible for imported or own-brand goods and investigate past recalls.
- How secure are the store's important supplier relationships?Review distribution rights, minimum orders, deposits, lead times, rebates and online-selling restrictions for major brands. Confirm which display units, samples and consignment goods remain supplier-owned and whether accounts require fresh approval.
- Does online homeware trading remain profitable after fulfilment?Reconcile ecommerce sales with picking, bulky-item delivery, packaging, breakage, failed deliveries, returns and marketplace fees. Compare contribution by channel and check whether advertised delivery charges recover the actual service cost.
- Is the premises suitable for the homeware stock model?Check lease use, loading access, storage capacity, business rates, insurance conditions and any external warehouse commitment. Model rent against sales density and identify slow stock occupying valuable display or storage space.
