You Can Start a Small Business Selling Slippers in Kumasi (Ghana)

This post will teach you how you can start a small business selling slippers in Kumasi. It will equip you with all the essential tips and tricks you need to go into a slippers-selling business in Kumasi or anywhere else in Ghana.

Are you looking for a way to start making some extra money by starting a small business? Maybe you don’t have any source of income. But you must eat and take care of other responsibilities. Because without money in your pocket, there is no way you’re going to be happy.

The simple truth about money and happiness is this. In our modern world, money can buy happiness. And lack of money will deprive you of happiness. Period.

This should convince you to start making extra efforts to make money for yourself. And if you happen to have very little means, I will suggest that you start a small business selling slippers in Kumasi or wherever you prefer.

One easy way to start doing something profitable for yourself and your loved ones is to start a small retail business selling slippers. You can set up a small shop to offer slippers for sale in Kumasi or any other location in Ghana.

As you may know, Kumasi leather slippers are always in hot demand. So, starting a small business with very little capital in Ghana to sell slippers in Kumasi, Accra or elsewhere should be a breeze for anyone serious about this business.

Start with the following points in mind.

• Selling slippers or footwear is one of the easiest retail businesses practically anyone can start in Kumasi or elsewhere in Ghana or even Nigeria.
• The goods move very fast.
• You don’t need a large sum of money as capital to start.
• It is good to have a plan to keep you focused on your key actions and objectives. It will also help you to be financially disciplined.

How to start selling slippers in Kumasi

Let’s look at the steps you need to take and the things you must do to make a slippers retail business successful.

• Decide on the location of your business or how you want to sell to customers.

Your options include selling from your house, in front of your house, carrying them around as a vendor, on a street corner with the goods displayed on a mat or table and so on.

• Find your capital or initial startup money.

This can be as little as GHS100 to GHS200. It all depends on whether you wish to start with only a small quantity of bathroom slippers (AKAMELAST CHARLIEWOTE) or you can afford to add other brands of slippers for the sake of variety.

Both approaches are equally great. It is even possible to get a wholesaler who is willing to offer you trade credit.

• How and where to get your supplies.

If you live in Kumasi or wish to set up shop there (or simply want to obtain your goods from there), two of the most reliable places to get your goods at very affordable prices are the following:

ENO ADWOA ENTERPRISE, ALABAR. Trust me to be there when you arrive.

RAFTCO COMPANY LIMITED (also at Alabar).

Remember that you do not have to live in a city like Kumasi or Accra to start a business selling slippers. You can easily come to buy your stocks there and then sell them in your home village or town.

Take the first step. Go for the goods and start your business. Don’t wait for everything to be perfect before you start.

What are the risks?

• Few risks exist in this sector
• The risk of theft is however, real. Someone can steal the goods you’ve just bought at a wholesale shop. This is why you need to be extra vigilant when you’re buying your slippers in Kumasi, for example.

• Keep proper records of your stocks.
• Treat customers with respect.
• Don’t be greedy when pricing your slippers in Kumasi or any other place in Ghana.
• Be patient about your expectations. Like every business venture, the biggest rewards from selling slippers in Kumasi, Ghana, will come only after some time.
