At the time of sale, if the customer has fancy a certain color, but does not have the right number of codes, he may recommend other colors of the same number of codes. You can also order it, as long as you pay a part of the deposit.

Novices who open a shoe store must increase the frequency of adjustments, which can be done once a week. Styles that don't sell well should be returned to the manufacturer as soon as possible, and some good-selling styles should be replaced. Don’t think it’s so troublesome. You have to know that you will get a reward if you give something. After you have a regular group of regular customers, your business will be much easier.
