Let me start by thanking everyone I've talk to in the past 2 1/2 yrs of wholesaling Medical Scrubs here at Alko. You've not only helped me learn about the scrubs in general, but about the time, energy and money it takes to be successful at owning a Scrub Business with little or nothing to start. Thank You All.
 
1. Get yourself a Tax ID number and Register a Business Name. I recommend LegelZoom.com
2. If you have a store front or just starting out selling from your home: Know the type of Cliental you want to start targeting.
  • Hospitals
  • Clinics
  • Private Medical Offices
  • Daycare Centers
  • Restaurants
  • Co-workers
  • Warehouses
  • School Cafeterias
  • Even Utility Companies

If you have any other suggestions, let me know and I'll add them.
 

3. Get your business out there:  flyers, newsletters, small ads in local papers, billboards (buy one if you can). Most of your local hospitals have days set aside for vendors to set up and sell to the hospital employees (call the hospital(s) and find out what you need.
 
4. If you are new to selling the product and not familiar with retail price, here's 2 simple tasks: 1. Research the Internet simply by typing the name of your item into the search engine (doing this is a start). 2. Ask your distributor.
 

5. Gift Certificates - Don't underestimate the power of the GC. Right now, think about checking into offering these to your customers and really advertising that you have these. Many people know others entering the Nursing Field, or have relatives/friends that wear them on the job or know someone that doesn't have to wear them but feel more comfortable in them. Holiday's are coming up, do don't underestimate the sales you will see. Make sure to Promote these at least 5 weeks before a holiday. (if not all the time) CHECK INTO THIS!! You'll be glad you did.
