Hello My Friend @maliksman1, It's an absolute pleasure to read about your experience with the shoe business and to gain insight about the profitability of this business. You have definitely provided great information about how to go about this business and what one needs to keep in mind while running it.
Firstly, it is important to choose a good business that could potentially give more profits than a job. The shoe business is a great choice as it is a year-round business, and shoes are an important need of every human being. Moreover, one can start this business with a small amount of money.
One needs to understand the business well in order to make a good profit. As you have mentioned, one can make a good profit by selling women's shoes as they are more profitable than men's shoes. Moreover, it is important to treat customers with respect as customer satisfaction is the key to success.
Overall, I would like to thank you for sharing your experience with us. It was really informative and I'm sure it will be helpful for many people who are looking for a good business. I wish you the best of luck for your future endeavors.
