When beginning your embroidery business, it is important to start on the right foot. These 7 key elements will help you to properly plan your new business venture the right way, saving you time, frustration and costly mistakes.

  • Planning
    It'’s important to create a simple working plan, road map or guide for you to follow. A business plan is supposed to provide you with a clear direction and act as a guide for you on how you intend to run your embroidery business and plan for future growth. With this plan, you will be able to stay on track by analyzing and measuring each step along the way to ensure that you are sticking to the plan you originally laid out.

Marketing does not have to be scary, as it is a plan and method of helping you to stay in touch with customers and helping to create and attract new prospects. Marketing entails following channels that will help you to get your embroidery products in front of your target market (the right people, persuade them to purchase your product or service, and keep them coming back for more.
  • Pricing
    Many business people recommend that you survey other, similar embroidery businesses in order to create your own price list. This may actually kill your business. The most important thing to remember is that you are in business to make money, not just to survive. You will need to let go of any fear you have and charge what you think your product or service is worth to your customer by developing a total pricing structure that will cover every pricing scenario.
  • Niche Marketing
    The most common question regarding niche marketing is, What is a niche?‚ A niche is a small section of the market that you can specialize in. This section is one that others in your market have either overlooked or are not willing to service because of the special nature or size of that section. You can specialize in this particular embroidery section and brand yourself as the expert (that‚’s the marketing part!), ensuring that you always have an audience and low competition.
  • Finding Good Employees
    Before you begin actually looking for an employee, you will need to decide if your business is in the right place to actually pay a competitive wage and/or offer benefits to that employee. Once you have determined that, it‚’s a good idea to ask friends and family for recommendations first. If that does not yield any results, then check with your State Unemployment Service, but be sure to let them know exactly what kind of worker you are looking for.
  • Education
