Decide who you are selling to
Daily-wear buyers, festival shoppers, wedding families and gift buyers want different sarees. Pick one or two groups to start with, and your first stock decisions become much easier.
Start with a focused range
Instead of many pieces of one design, start with 10–15 designs in 3–4 colours each. Customers see more choice, and you learn quickly which styles sell in your area. Re-order the winners.
Set clear price bands
Most saree shops sell best when every customer finds something in their budget. Keep a few price bands, display them separately, and add a premium band for weddings once you know your customers.
Plan around festivals and weddings
Navratri, Diwali, Karwa Chauth and the wedding season bring the biggest sales of the year. Order festive and gift sarees early, before wholesalers' best designs sell out.
Sell from home, WhatsApp or a shop
Many sellers start from home with WhatsApp catalogues and status updates, then open a counter or shop as regular customers grow. Good photos and quick replies matter as much as the stock.
Choose a reliable wholesaler
Look for wide variety under one roof, proper GST billing, regular new arrivals and easy re-ordering on WhatsApp. Sumeet Wholesale in Mowa, Raipur supplies saree retailers across Chhattisgarh and Odisha. For GST registration and HSN codes, check with your CA.
