The time for string curtains has gone forever, and today everyone is very picky about the design of such an element as curtains. Now the main thing is not their direct function of protecting from sunlight, but their ability to make the interior attractive and charming or to become a certain style accent. It turns out that sewing curtains for this moment is a fairly popular business that brings high profits.

Firms that offer design services in general have increasingly begun to offer the production and decoration of curtains. However, if you decide to independently open a company providing such services, then you should know that a properly drawn up business plan for a curtain salon, as well as a responsible approach to this matter, will allow you to achieve excellent results. It is worth understanding all the nuances of this matter.

Basic moments

The business plan for a curtain salon should include the presence sewing workshop and a salon where you can imagine various categories fabrics, as well as finished products. Quite often, companies that sew curtains also sell related products, namely: fabrics, curtain rods, and all kinds of accessories for curtains.

Naturally, you will need a special room in which the whole process will take place. Sewing curtains will not require you to have huge areas. Here everything is calculated according to a simple formula: each seamstress requires 7 square meters area, and for each employee of a different qualification - 5 meters.

It turns out that at the initial stage, your curtain sewing workshop will be able to fit into a room with an area of 30 square meters. In addition, you will need to purchase professional equipment. You will need a professional overlocker sewing machine, machine for blind seams, cutting table, iron, ironing table.

All this will cost you quite a considerable amount, but if you are not ready to pay a lot of money right away, then you can purchase used devices, since the degree of wear resistance of such units is quite high. If necessary, you can then purchase additional equipment, for example, for laying lambrequins or shrinking fabric.

Price issue

So, we can say that before opening a curtain sewing studio, you need to decide how much all the necessary equipment will cost. A sewing machine can cost from $300, an overlocker will cost $1,800-$2,000, and a blind hem machine will cost around $1,000. Of course, this is quite a lot. However, it is worth considering how much it costs to sew curtains. Each client will leave at least $500 in your salon. Thanks to this, we can say that after 6-7 months all the money spent on equipment may well come back, and even in excess.

Staff

You must understand that if you yourself do not have a sufficient set of knowledge and skills to work independently, you will need to hire professional cutters and seamstresses. The quality depends entirely on their skills finished products. It is very important that the finished result matches the picture proposed by the designer. Otherwise, customers will be unhappy, and you will not see the desired profit.

Store opening

A business plan for a curtain salon must necessarily include opening a store, which is necessary not only for image. A display of samples of your products can be organized even in an apartment, and the more rooms, openings, niches and other elements, the more space for design imagination - all this will be removed and draped with curtains of different styles.

And the more choice the client is given, the higher the chances of finding his client. The customer will not be satisfied with traditional curtains, but will appreciate the quality, exclusivity and style. Therefore, the salon must work 100% and demonstrate absolutely everything that you can offer.

Virtual salon - an alternative to the real one if you lack funds

If you have drawn up a business plan for a curtain salon, and at the same time you understand that your initial financial capabilities do not allow you to organize a showroom, then you can make it virtual. To do this, you will need to create your own website on which you will place a colorful catalog of the materials used and design options. For the first time this will be enough. And when sewing curtains begins to bring you tangible profits, you will organize a salon where potential customers can see everything in person.

Subtleties and nuances of business

Sufficient important stage consists of the process of developing a customer base. Here you must attract all the means that are only available to you: intensify your connections in the world of architects and designers, visit specialized exhibitions and take part in them, use word of mouth and advertising. Thanks to all this, you will gradually become more and more famous, and if you maintain the quality of tailoring at the required level, you will not feel any shortage of clients.

There are some other nuances associated with this business. It is clear that you will purchase fabrics exclusively from large manufacturers or wholesalers. All the fittings needed for work in the form of brackets, cornices and other things will be purchased from the catalogs of well-known manufacturers in this segment, and the economy version can be bought in construction supermarkets.

One more important point is the following: all fabrics and accessories should be purchased exclusively for a specific order. Let the client pay, not you, otherwise you can go broke. If you are interested in what to call a curtain salon, then it is worth saying that the name should be attractive, but not banal. You should study what names people in your area like. settlement. You can even conduct a survey among your friends.

Although blinds are not in great demand among Russian consumers, as they are usually associated with dusty streaks that can be seen on office windows, you can find allies in companies specializing in their production.

Any experienced sales specialist will be able to convince the client that he needs not only curtains that perform decorative and functional roles, but also blinds that can save expensive fabrics from fading. In addition, blinds can play on contrasts with curtains, which will allow you to create a rather complex composition.

Or you can simply make them a color accent in the overall style. This way you will help blinds sellers, and in return they will recommend you to their clients. This cooperation will be mutually beneficial. You may also be interested in production roller blinds, in which case you will cover an even larger market segment.

Alternative business organization options

Of course, the action plan outlined above is approximate for achieving results in the business described. Various options are possible. For example, you can focus on organizing an exclusively sewing workshop. Here you will be faced with the task of assembling it necessary equipment, hiring high-class cutters and seamstresses, as well as proper organization workflow. You will not have to deal with picky clients; your task will only be to fulfill orders based on ready-made sketches. It is quite possible to do without a sewing workshop, and simply hire several seamstresses.

Another option is this: you will look for clients, the designer will create for them unique sketches of future curtains, and the direct work of sewing the products can be transferred to the shoulders of third-party specialists whom you will attract to complete each order.

This option is suitable for a business at the opening stage, while there are not too many clients yet, and then it will be possible to organize own workshop. Here the main role is assigned to the designer. It is on his shoulders that the responsibilities of the measurer, as well as the sales manager, will fall. And you will need to open an exhibition salon where all the samples will be presented.

Results

It is also worth mentioning the optimal place to open a salon. It makes sense to organize it where there are stores selling building materials, furniture, as well as other goods related to renovation and interior design. In this case, you will attract the client as one of important links in creating a unique style for his home. And being located next to other important stores guarantees you a large influx of visitors, 20% of which will definitely become your clients.

It is important to choose a suitable organizational and legal form - it can be an individual enterprise or LLC. It is better to go with the first option, as it will be easier for you to register and you will need fewer documents.

The time for “curtains on a string” is gone forever, and today we are very picky about the design of curtains. After all, the focus is no longer on their direct function (protection from sunlight), but on their ability to give the interior a special chic and charm or act as a style accent. Thus, sewing curtains is a business today that is in demand and quite profitable. Increasingly, curtain designs are offered by firms involved in interior design in general. But if you decide to open your own business sewing curtains, rest assured that by properly organizing the process, you will be provided with work.

To organize a business sewing curtains, you need a sewing workshop and a salon, which presents catalogs of fabrics and finished products. Very often, companies specializing in sewing curtains simultaneously sell related products: curtain rods, fabrics, various accessories for curtains.

Sewing factory

The first step is to find a suitable premises. Don’t be alarmed, it just sounds like a loud “sewing workshop”. In fact, the area you will need is not that large.

We calculate according to the formula: 7 square meters for one seamstress and 5 meters for each new employee.

Thus, at the initial stage, your workshop can be located on an area of 30 square meters. You will also need professional equipment for sewing curtains. You will need a professional sewing machine, overlocker, blind hem machine, iron, cutting table, ironing table. The cost of equipment directly depends on its class and brand, and if you are not ready to pay a lot of money, at first you can work on used equipment, since it is very wear-resistant. In the future, if necessary, you can buy additional equipment, for example, for shrinking fabrics or laying lambrequins.

So, what is the price?

You can buy a sewing machine for 10,000 rubles, an overlocker for 50-60 thousand, a machine for blind seams will cost 30 thousand. But if you consider that each client will leave at least 15 thousand in your salon, it is easy to calculate that in just six months the money spent on equipment will be returned, and in abundance.

You will also need professional seamstresses and a cutter. After all, the quality of the final result directly depends on their skills and abilities. And if the finished curtains do not match the picture proposed by the designer, the image will be lost and you will not see any income.

Opening a showroom

Your next step is to open a showroom store, and it is not needed for image. Or rather, not only for image. An ordinary apartment may be suitable for displaying samples of your products, and the more rooms, niches, openings and other elements it has, the more room for your designer’s imagination - all this will be draped and decorated with curtains of different styles. And the more choice, the greater the chances that you will find your client. Your customer will not be satisfied with ordinary curtains; the main thing for him is exclusivity, quality, and style. Therefore, the salon must work at 100% and demonstrate everything that you have to offer.

But if there is no money for a real showroom, you can make a virtual one . To do this, you will need to create your own website (fortunately there are a lot of companies doing this now), where there will be a colorful catalog ready-made designs and the materials used. In any case, it is necessary to draw up business plan sewing curtains For the first time, this will be enough for you. However, we should not forget that many people like to see it “live” and touch it. This means that in the future the opening of a salon is inevitable.

The subtleties of the business of sewing curtains

An important stage is the process of developing a client base. Here you will have to use all possible means: raise all your connections in the world of designers and architects, visit and even participate in specialized exhibitions, use advertising and even our usual “word of mouth”: if one client likes it, he will bring new ones. This way you will gradually gain fame, and if you maintain the quality of tailoring at the required level, there will be no end to customers.

What other nuances are there in a business plan for sewing curtains? It is clear that you will only purchase fabrics from wholesalers or large manufacturers. All necessary fittings (cornices, brackets, etc.) are purchased from catalogs from well-known manufacturers in their segment; the economy option is available in regular construction supermarkets. Another important rule: both fabrics and accessories must be purchased only for a specific order, let the client pay, but not you! Otherwise, you can quickly go broke.

Allies or enemies?

Although blinds are not in great demand among Russian consumers (they are often associated with boring, dusty stripes on office windows), you can find good allies in companies specializing in their production. Any experienced sales specialist will be able to convince the client that in addition to curtains, he will also need blinds for his windows. And that's almost true. Firstly, blinds will save expensive fabrics from fading. Secondly, blinds can play on contrast or harmony with curtains, thereby helping to create a complex composition. Or they can simply be a color accent in the overall style of the room. Thus, you help sellers of blinds, and they, in turn, advertise you to their customers. This is such mutually beneficial cooperation.

Of course, rough plan your actions on the way to successful business for sewing curtains. Various options are possible. For example, you can focus on organizing a sewing workshop. Your task is to equip the workshop with the necessary equipment, high-quality seamstresses and cutters, and properly organize the work process. You won't be bothered by picky clients, and your task will be reduced to one thing - fulfilling orders based on ready-made sketches. You can even do without a sewing workshop, in which case you will only need home-based seamstresses.

Another scenario is that you are looking for a client, the designer comes up with a unique curtain design for him, and the sewing work itself is transferred to third-party specialists. Here the designer plays the main role. He will be both a measurer and a sales manager. But what you should do is open an exhibition salon.
