I almost venture into this business....After doing my research i found it hard to break even with the cost of rent, utilities and other overhead.. Its a very interesting business but competition everywhere making it seem impossible to earn a decent profit..Just my RM 0.02

What do you mean operating at home??

You turn your house into a stationary store or you make your house into a store room to store all the stock....If you wanna move in to a physical store be ready for long term investment because you will be tight down to all the stock in your store and not the stuff in your store will be sold off......I remember getting a quotation from China ordering 10k pens at only RM 0.15 sens each....If you got the right source then it will be fine.

It just a quote from a small company in China.....I just wanted to know their pricing that all

But i already drop this business idea when the location i was targeting.....the rent is nearly RM 2K per month....hard to break even:(

But there are still many sucessful stationery stores out there...There one in klang, Kuan Yin book stores....got many branches leh.... all over klang...
