To ensure a smooth opening each day, make sure to give yourself plenty of time before opening to inspect the home, de-clutter every room, de-personalize your home, let in more light, get rid of odors, keep everything extra clean, arrange all merchandise by category or alphabetically, position promotional items at eye-level and check that signage is visible throughout the store. Finally, greet customers as soon as they enter and assist them with finding products if needed.
