How to rent or sell your shop easier!

Some retail spaces in Cyprus lay closed for many years. Dirty windows, locked doors, old and yellow signs on the windows are not an appealing target for any business looking to rent or sell a shop. Just sitting and waiting for the right person to pass by your shop and be interested to open his new business there is not any longer the best solution, having in mind the many opportunities and offers on the market. Things have to change and owners should take the advantage of new ways of advertising, to be open to new opportunities.  Here are the top ideas about how to find your clients faster and easier!

1. Keep your shop clean and appealing! A commercial space that looks like it was not rented for a long time, will not raise interest to anybody. Fresh clean windows and clean painted white interior will prove that the owner is interested and anytime there, happy to help any interested client.
2. A visible and large sign for RENT or SELL, that does not look old it is very important! This matter has to be taken very serious in consideration especially in Cyprus where the sun makes the sign’ letters to disappear just in a few months. Check your sign all the time and be sure that it contains the right information! Just a phone no maybe it is not enough anymore! Have in mind to add on the sign, besides the phone number an e-mail address, the size of your shop and even the price especially if you believe that you have a good offer.
3. Do not wait for the client, to find you! Go search for him!

4. Be creative! Advertise smartly! Let people know the advantages of your space. What kind of business is it good for? What other business that are close by that will make shop customers stop there? Maybe you are close to a bakery! Is it an easy-to-stop location? Are bus stops close by? Or an ATM machine that will make people get down from their car anyway! How many people could pass by walking, on a daily basis? This are information that helps business to decide which shop to rent or buy! Add these information on your advert!
5. Wait no more! You still did not made your deal? Be open to new ideas! Maybe you could try to use your space for new types of business that could be interested. Ask the business next by if they are not interested to rent your space for storage.
