People use wigs for a variety of reasons, including hair loss, thinning hair, costumes, and dissatisfaction with their own hair. Sometimes wigs, such as lace front wigs, are worn for special events. Lady Gaga has her own wig designer, and many wigs are styled after her. You might open an online wig business, assist individuals in getting the look they want, and take a small fraction of this $350 million US market. You could even create the next Unice, a massive wig manufacturer.
Starting a wig business can be a rewarding and profitable venture, but it does require careful planning and hard work. If you want to start a wig business, there are a few steps you can take to get started.
-
Develop a business plan.
This should include an overview of your business, your target market, your products and services, your marketing and sales strategies, and your financial projections.
-
Choose a business location.
You will need a space to store and display your wigs, as well as to meet with customers. This can be a brick-and-mortar storefront, or an online store.
-
Obtain the necessary licenses and permits.
This will vary depending on your location, but you may need a business license, a sales tax permit, and other permits and licenses specific to the sale of wigs.
- Market Research
Learn what people want, what costs they are ready to pay for it, the various types of weaves and wigs, the variations between them, the lengths, and how to care for each type of hair as you will need to tell your customers. Your reach should also indicate where these things can be obtained.
- Find a wholesale wig supplier.
In addition to securing financing, you will also need to find a source for the wigs you will be selling. Search online for wholesale wig suppliers using keywords such as "wholesale wigs" or "bulk wigs" in combination with your location or desired shipping destination.
Browse through the results and make a list of potential suppliers that offer the types of wigs you are looking for and have a good reputation. Contact each supplier and inquire about their wholesale pricing, minimum order requirements, and shipping policies.Request samples or photos of their products to evaluate their quality and style options.Compare prices and terms from different suppliers to find the best deal and most reliable source for your wholesale wig needs.
Place an initial order with your chosen supplier to test their product and service, and continue to work with them if you are satisfied with their performance.
- Purchase inventory.
Decide what types of wigs you will sell, and order a selection of styles, colors, and sizes to start. Wigs can be separated by several criteria ranging from colour, to length, to texture and also the materials used (i.e human hair, kanekalon, synthetic etc.) since this will impact the pricing of the wigs and weaves. Your next line of action now after having a good insight of the market is to determine what kind of wigs and weaves you would like to start off with.
- Market your business.
Use social media, online marketplaces, and local advertising to promote your wigs and attract customers.
- Sell Wigs.
Once you have the wigs and the financing you need, you can start selling your wigs. You can sell them online through your own website or through marketplaces like Amazon or eBay. You can also sell your wigs in person at trade shows, pop-up shops, or through a brick-and-mortar storefront.
