How to Stock Your Hair Supply?
Selling hair also involves managing the stock of hair and beauty supplies. A good management of your stock, saves money, time and brings you happy clients.
What to do to keep the hair in stock?
When you manage your stock, you will know the various products you have in store. You can see the hair your clients like and when in the year they have demand for certain hair. This is the management of the assortment.
Organize the hair with clear labels. This will reduce the time to prepare the order and to be sure you can ship the right hair without thinking too much. You do not want your client to receive the wrong hair?
If your business is growing, you need to have a good system to help your staff to pick the right hair. This also avoids you will run out of stock.
Stock the hair to protect your assets
All your savings have gone into that nice stock of hair supplies and beauty products. You must make sure your hair will stay in the best health after you received the hair from the supplier. Keep the hair safe till the day you ship the hair to your client.
Find a dry and clean place to store your stock and if possible, don´t store the hair extensions in the full sunlight. Keep all products in a cupboard, that will keep away daylight. This is the best way to avoid the packaging or products will fade thanks to the sunlight. People might think your products are outdated and you will not be able to sell the hair anymore.
Manage your inventory
Label the hair extensions so later you will be able to distinguish the various types, lengths and colours without any hesitation. This will also help you to keep a good inventory of the hair. A list on paper or in your phone with all the products you sell, the specifications and the price.
Avoid having to measure the right length in front of your client, natural hair extensions do not come in one exact size only. Label your hair stock, and you will be able to see right away which hair extensions are running out of stock. Now you can order in time from the wholesaler.
If you sell hair with Shopify or WooCommerce, I recommend using the back end of the platform to manage your stock.
Bookkeeping
You are in this business to earn some money. A good overview of the stock of hair, you can calculate the profit of the previous month or quarter. You will know exactly how much you sold and at what price.
This list will also help to see what hair is selling slow. Now you can create a smart campaign to sell the right hair at the right price.
