Using Personal Shopping as Leverage for Business Growth

What separates successful businesses from the mediocre is leverage. Financially astute entrepreneurs understand that business and economics are dependent on using what one has in the best way possible. This means turning to other industries that may initially seem incompatible. One of the latest (though still relatively untouched) collaboration opportunities involves personal shoppers. This relationship has been viewed with caution, considering the initial (and perhaps continued) perception of personal shopping being solely for fashion.

However, one must consider the life and function of a personal shopper. It is true that personal shopping has focused on clothes and accessories, but in the process, trained personal shoppers create an invaluable skillset and network that could potentially benefit businesses.

Today’s global market has encouraged companies to expand constantly. The business of supply chain management and logistics has never been more important. But for many businesses, they may not know where to begin or how to start. This is where personal shoppers can help. Already they have the knowledge of how to interact with manufacturers and distributors. It is also likely that these groups or people have a special relationship with their personal shoppers as well. The products may be different, but the skillset is what is valued here.

Recent financial studies have concluded that personal shoppers may be used as a fantastic leverage for businesses wishing to assume a more global status. The transition from clothes to finance is done seamlessly.
