Challenges

Seasonal revenue fluctuations — the Christmas rush versus the summer slump

Inventory must be pre-financed, often months before the goods are actually sold

Thin margins leave little room for unexpected costs or downturns

High fixed costs — rent, staff, energy — continue even in slow revenue months

Competition from online retail demands constant investment in store experience and marketing
