1)
Every good venture starts with a good foundation!
For the beauty industry this means thorough training and reliable products.
Choose a training provider who will offer you good support, thorough training and ongoing aftercare. Just the training day wont set you off to a good start as it is the first few months that you will need that extra support and help.
Don't save on the initial training as it will get you off to a poor start and it only means you will have to spend more money on further courses when you could have started earning money and building your little empire!
2)
Invest in good products! This is another area where you don't want to cut corners! Buying cheap products will result in cheap treatments which then means you have to lower your prices to match!
High quality products mean reliability, they are safe and legal to use and you generally have a local supplier to help and support you.
3)
Shop wisely!
Buying quality does not mean that you cannot take advantage of offers or promotions to maximise your savings!
Take advantage of seasonal offers, free delivery or multi buy savers which allows you to increase your profit without compromising on quality or service!
4)
Check for additional support!
Most trainers and suppliers (the good ones) will have groups to help you with any advice you might need. This will often include subjects like
* increasing customer base

* increasing customer base
* attracting new clients
* how to deal with difficult clients
* staff issues
* business set up
* how to deal with difficult clients
* staff issues
* business set up
* marketing etc
This might not be high on your agenda when you set up but it is very important to have the full package when you set up.
5)
Associate with a brand!
Whilst you can decide which products you use and however many suppliers you have it is worth considering if loyalty could help you.
Not only can you take advantage of the fact that you can group orders together and take advantage of saving options when you buy from fewer suppliers but if you believe in a brand and product (or two or three) you can start tagging those suppliers in your posts and pictures.
Some suppliers (flirties included) will reward positive posts, recommendations and tags so by mentioning your suppliers you might find that you can get additional exposure on forums and they might also share your pictures or comment.
These are just a few pointers to help you get started but the key is to invest wisely......just remember "buy cheap...buy twice!"
