1Pieces with real costs
Because decor items vary widely in cost, record the buying price on each delivery. The average cost per product then feeds into profit, and you can see which categories, such as frames or candles, bring the best return on the money invested.
Profit by category
Example monthly profit
2Slow sellers and dead stock
Decor can sit for months. Product sales for the last quarter shows what moved. Items with no sales are candidates for a seasonal markdown or a bundle with a popular item. Stock valuation shows how much money is tied up, so you can decide how aggressively to clear.
Without a system
- Slow pieces forgotten
- Breakage hidden
- Discounts untracked

3Negotiation and discounts
Customers in decor shops often bargain. Settle with a bill discount in rupees or a percentage. Let only trusted staff give it, and review the reports to see how much margin you gave away in a month.
🧮 What does a discount cost me?
A discount comes straight out of profit, so it must be won back in extra sales.
4Breakage and display wear
Ceramic, glass and frames get damaged in handling. Record broken items as damage with the quantity; they leave stock and show in the net profit view. Seeing the monthly figure helps you pack and display with more care.
5Supplier and trade accounts
Decor is bought from importers and local wholesalers, often on credit. Record deliveries and payments to keep each supplier's balance. If you supply interior designers or other shops, give them a khata and a wholesale price.
6Display and photography
Decor sells when it looks good. Keep products named consistently with the size, material and style so staff can describe them. Photos are not stored in the app, so keep them in your phone for social posts. Match what you advertise to the names in the catalogue, so customers asking for a piece you posted get the right item.
7Festival and wedding seasons
Eid, weddings and new homes drive decor purchases. Prepare by raising minimums on candles, frames and showpieces that sold well last year. After the season, review product sales and stock valuation to decide what to mark down. A clear-out sale of slow items frees money for the next season.
8Getting set up
Add the items you sell most first, with costs and prices, and group them into categories such as frames, vases and candles. Count the current stock and enter the quantities. Decide who may give discounts and set that permission. Over the first month, add remaining items and review which categories earn the most for the money you have invested in them.
