HOW TO START YOUR HANDBAG BUSINESS

Doing ladies handbag business is profitable, cheap to run and ideal in the modern world. To start the venture in Kenya, requires at least Ksh.10,000.

It’s not a secret anymore that business of selling ladies handbags in Kenya is a booming venture. It becomes juicier when those engaged in full time employment engage in this business as a side hustle. 

The best places to source for women handbags is Eastleigh Nairobi. And the best towns to start the business include Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu and Nakuru.

I have interacted with many women engaging in this business, either in part time or full time, and thety have intimated to me that starting is hard but once you gain referrals and enough customer base, becoming rich will not be a theory but part of you. What you need to know is where to buy cheap and maximize profits by setting wide profit margin.

To be on the safer side, ensure you have a good Facebook Page with at least 3,000 followers. You can promote your page or tell your friends to like it and share with their friends. Facebook has become the largest single source of customers for handbag sellers in the country.

The capital required for women handbag business vary depending on the location and where you intend to conduct the business.

If you have Ksh.15,000, you can comfortably start the business. However, you will be moving around selling to your friends since a physical location might be expensive. I encourage anyone to start the business from home and monitor its performance before deciding to operate from a stall.

A careful selection of physical location is important. In order to operate from a stall be prepared to have at least Ksh.150,000 if you are in Nairobi and Ksh.100,000 if you will be operating in Mombasa, Nakuru, Kisii or Kisumu. This mount will cater for three months’ rent, a license and the cost of buying your first stock.

The best place to buy women handbags is either Gikomba or Eastleigh, Nairobi. If you are outside Nairobi, please don’t allow those brokers in your town to make extra ordinary profits from you. What they normally do is to buy from Gikomba or Eastleigh and come to sell for you at exorbitant prices.

Buying in bulk at Eastleigh will enable those guys to reduce the price significantly for you, thus allowing you to make good cash from sales.

A single bag normally ranges from Sh.500 to Sh.1,800 and you can sell it between Sh.2,000 to Sh.3,500. This will make you double profit.

Once you have purchased your bags, take clear photos and post on your Facebook Page together with price tag but indicate NEGOTIABLE.

Alternatively, you can take some to your friends or family members to have a look at them and eventually buy if it’s their taste.

2 THINGS YOU MUST SACRIFICE TO BE RICH QUICKLY.

Have you ever paused for a moment and thought to yourself “I must be doing something wrong with my life, how comes I don’t have a single profitable /successful investment running under my name despite working diligently for all those years?” Yes, you have the zeal and willingness to invest…but somehow, things seem not to be going your way. May be you even have a job, with a steady monthly salary and you do your best to save something at the end of the month. But still somehow you’ve not been making any meaningful progress. If you are in business, despite toiling and moiling all your life, you still can’t narrate any success stories worthy of a gossip blogger’s attention. It’s a painful reality that most of us prefer not to talk about. It yields a sense of hopelessness and can easily make you wonder what your purpose in life is. As it turns out, making it in Kenya (or Africa) is not as easy as it may sound on paper. Despite the fact that Africa is on the rise, we still face subtle probl...

WAYS TO MAKE MONEY INVESTING IN RAW LAND.

Investing in real estate is a wise investment decision to make due to high returns associated with it. You can buy real estate e.g land for investment purposes and leave it vacant for its value to appreciate.  If you are one of such people, here are some of the things you could do to earn some income from that vacant land as you wait for it to appreciate. *1. Beekeeping* Beekeeping or honey farming has huge untapped potential. Whether a small or a large chunk of land you can reap big by starting this kind of farming. It is simple and relatively cheaper to start. An ideal location would be one away from noise and human disturbance. *2. Dig a Borehole* Water is important in almost everything that we do. Digging a borehole is an easy way of getting some extra income from your land. If your land is closer to a town, you can set up a water kiosk and earn money from it. *3.
