How to Save Money

Posted by fashionentrepreneurreport On Sunday, June 22, 2008

As a small business owner one of your primary concerns is often how to minimize costs while maximizing profits, in the fashion industry this may mean saving money on fabrics, clothing, accessories or other items that you require.

Saving Money for Dressmakers and Fashion Designers

If you are a fashion designer then your primary costs will probably be fabric and equipment to produce your clothing. You can minimize costs and save money in these areas by ordering wholesale (don’t be afraid of minimum orders on fabric), looking out for sales, shopping around both online and offline before buying your materials and learning how to do your own machine repairs.  Are You Home-Based? – Find Out About Tax Incentives

If you run your fashion-related business from home then you should also look into tax incentives that you may be able to apply for. These may also include costs related to your business travel and other items that you use for business purposes.

Contribute to Charity and Get More Tax Deductions (and More Clients)

By contributing to charity you are often able to get more tax deductions for the items you contribute or for costs related to your service in those charities. In addition, by making it known that you are giving some of your proceeds to charity you often encourage more clients to come to you as their way of contributing to these charities.

Save Money on Make-up and Cosmetics

Make-up and cosmetics are often a large part of the fashion industry. These cosmetics can become very expensive if you are using ordinary store-bought cosmetics but there are many cheaper items which can work just as well and be an excellent treatment for your skin. Green tea for example has been found to be as good as other acne treatments for treating acne and pimples, while even just following a healthy lifestyle – drinking plenty of water, eating a healthy diet and exercising regularly can minimize your need for additional help in this area.

Budget and Price Carefully to Achieve Minimum Costs and Maximum Profits

When budgeting and buying materials, machines and other supplies, carefully look at what the influence of different purchases will have on your profit. Divide the cost of a piece of fabric by the number of items it will be able to make in order to get a cost per item and calculate your profit from there. Work on getting the maximum profit from each item. You should also look at other ways that you can save money by using sales, bargains or even making your own cosmetics and clothes.

As a small business owner in the fashion industry you should work on minimizing costs and maximizing profits by being careful what fabric, supplies and machines you purchase. Make use of sales and minimize your expenditure on cosmetics by making your own or using cheaper solutions and a healthy lifestyle. Budget carefully to get the maximum use from each dollar you have.
