Is not as easy as u think. Average expenses to run an optical shop every month is about 10000-15000. This only apply if u open a shop in taman area with only u alone working or just hire a 900-1000 sales assistant. This expenses include salary and others like rental & bills. There's no consignment in frames & sunglasses. U need to take 12 frames for u to sell 2 or 3 out of it. The rest u just put on display. At the end of the day those money you've make has been converted to stocks coz you're replenishing more than you're selling. 1 specs average u can wear 1 year+. Repeat sales is not as high as food. If you're taking RM20 stocks and sell for RM100, confirm you'll cry after 3 months. How many pairs of specs can u sell in a day? And RM20 frame quality sucks. You'll receive complains from customers. Don't compare with big chains like MOG or Focus Point coz they've a lot of cash for rolling and a lot of branches to circulate their stocks. We're talking about just open a small shop in a housing area. Starting up cost now is average 100K-150K with simple renovation, cheap machines and normal stocks. Correct me if I'm wrong if there's someone in this industry here.
