13. Design or purchase your graphics (you can find many in the bin assets on My LulaRoe.
14. Figure out the ins and outs of how you plan to take pictures of your inventory. Will you need lighting or a backdrop (I bought a 3 X 5 and it was WAY too small, I'd get much bigger). Mannequin?
I started with a mannequin but this is much easier and less expensive! I would reccomend getting two so if you have help, someone can get the other one dressed while you are taking the photo.

20. Storage? Clothing racks,bins, shelves.
21. Are you having a Lularoom?
22. Insurance.
23. Make a list of supplies you may need.

25. Decide if you will be doing in home pop-ups, or all online.
26. Hostess packet and rewards you plan to offer.
27. What will you charge for shipping? I personally charge $3. per item or $6. for 2+
