Research Check 13

One concern people have when starting a business is how much taxes are going to be paid annually. The main questions asked are how do I register for tax? What income do pay tax on? How do I meet my pay and file obligation? How do I deduct PAYE from my employee? What rate is VAT charged at? What records do I need to keep?
How can revenue help you is one of the basic questions asked throughout the business industry while nobody likes paying taxes this guide helps you overcome it.
When starting a business you should advise revenue and fill out a form which is on the website, www.revenue.ie, to find the most effective way for you as a revenue customer to deal with your tax affairs. Once registered you will receive a first time "new business visit from the revenue official. They only vist to make sure that you comply with the obligatory tax rate.
As a business owner you are obligated to pay taxes annually.

Answer 2

EQ = What is most important to managing a successful skate shop?

Answer 2 = Being able to keep the store presentable and prevent anything from happening like injuries to customers or employees.

Evidence = Keeping your store presentable means having good sanitation and cleaning objects on the floor that may cause injury to others. The most important thing is to keep your business running and how else to do that but to prevent anything from happening.
People get injured at stores because their focus is on products and not their surroundings and if they do not pay close attention they can get hurt, and who is to blame? Well most people will feel that its the business's responsibility to display a nice clean environment for the public and if it is not then that's when the lawsuits come in.
If the business gets a lawsuit the most common thing that happens is that the business gets sued and looses money for their mistake. If the business looses money the competition gains strength.

Blog 18: The Product

As of March, My product is improving my product placement skills with new products and learning how to advertise a new product and give it the proper attention that it needs. My product will help me build on prior knowledge and help me . 
 

At my service learning, Kore Skate Shop in Montclair, I have earned my service learner Kevin Nahani's trust and he allows me to display new releases and takes my advice into consideration. The picture above is the new consignments that Kore will be having and I made sure to give the proper attention so that customers would buy thus benefit the skate shops revenue.

The importance of product placement is to attract the customers attention and make them more interested in buying whats new. Here are some of Kore's product placement examples at my service learning.


As you can see this is a unique way to display all of the hats and make sure to present the newer hats at the customers eye level.


In this picture it shows how the store puts out the shoes on sale in front of the better shoes located behind them because they want to get rid of the older shoes.

 In this picture this manikin is displayed with a new arrival, the sweater, the product display is different compared to others and gives the store the upper hand for originality.


Kevin Nahani and I displayed the newer shoes in a glass case in front of the store and made sure that the display was eye catching. So far customers always seem to ask questions about the product when they are displayed in such manner. 

Learning this skill will help me understand how to make sales only through learning how to display in a way that customers will be intrigued to buy it.
