How to Start a Cosmetics Business
Industry analysis indicates that the sales of cosmetics and toiletries
in the U.S. is expected to sustain a steady increase of 5-6% until at
least 2010, when annual sales will top $7.6 billion. That forecast
makes for optimal conditions for starting up a cosmetic business that
can be run from your home.
At present, just over 50% of cosmetic and toiletry items are sold by
major retailers/chains. The rest is divided amongst beauty
product-specific companies, as well as independent businesses.
The very size of the market, allows for either concentrating on a
particular area, or selecting several target consumers such as make-up
for teens, products for men, and natural beauty products for the
health-conscious.
In operating a home business, you will need to first study the market
and potential clientele in your area, and whether you want to
supplement those sales with an Internet presence. The next choice is
whether to run a business entirely on your own, including investing
your own funds in stocks and sales tools, or becoming part of a
established company of good reputation for their products and how they
treat both customers and sales consultants.
Investigate these companies thoroughly and ensure you are happy with
the products and have checked out their background. They may also
have a sales quota requirement that must be met regardless of the time
of year, when by its nature, cosmetics tend to be high sellers for
major gift-giving occasions.
The cosmetics business is not one that waxes and wanes with trends,
although it can be cyclical in nature as to what products, i.e.
perfume, soaps, lotions, are the biggest current sellers. For more
