A new opportunity

Every day there appear new professions that gain popularity among people who lack creativity in their life. Thus, according to Mark Henricks', Starting a Business as a Personal Shopper, there are various ways to start a career of a Personal Shopper. Let's take a closer look at one of the stories he suggests.

Laurie Ely started her career of a personal shopper somewhat more than 9 years ago. The first step she took was posting fliers all over the neighborhood advertising her services as a personal shopper, calling herself "Laurie the Shopping Lady". Her first client was an elderly woman, whose name was not mentioned. However, since she was a very hard-working, pleasant and communicative person, the rumors about her services were spreading quickly and the next thing she knew was that she was servicing more than 18 different people. Her main responsibilities were not only buying and carrying things for her clients, but also simple help, such as changing bulbs or engaging in conversations. Now, there is time to name numbers: every year she spends up to $100,000, and as she is charging 15% commission and $8 fee for each order, she makes somewhere about $20,000 annually. What is important to consider in this case is that Mrs. Ely uses personal shopping as an extra earning, while at the same time, being able to pick up her children from school and spend more time with them.

The main reason for giving this example is not only to get acquainted with the profession of a personal shopper, but also to show how large it can become and just as any business — it has to deal with accounting.
