I--hmm. I really don't understand how you have done this.

If you can sublet the space, I would get a tenant in there who pays you a comfortable margin on either your lease or your mortgage, whichever it is.

Your future seems to be in real estate, because you understand Location, Location, Location...but not much else about the market.

As Jason mentioned you should have this worked out before leasing a space.

But....

If there is traffic...

Why not sell advertisements in the window?

Much like a 9x12 but just the whole window is small cards with a variety of ads of different sizes and shapes.

Easy to start because you can just fill it with random ads you pull from UK Gumtree or similar and have several blank cards of differing sizes with a sign on them.

Selling something?...

Buy this space for XX quid per week.

One month minimum booking.

Lets start with an obvious question. What is it you do from behind the desk? I understand it is "Online" but is there any aspect of what you do that could translate to an offline environment?

Sally sold seashells by the seashore. Grab some driftwood, fill some aquariums up with local rocks, small stones and seashells. Sell a piece of the locality to the visitors, take home a small bucket for whatever.

Sell the driftwood (if allowed) for as much as you can get.

OR, a variety of local stuff, give one shelf to each of the surrounding merchants, sell on consignment.

Kids at home, or customers in the shop/people asking tourist questions?
I'm not sure about this trade for time usage. Nevertheless:

Rent motorcycles, scooters, jet skis...

Gifts and souvenirs:
I have a part-time employee into Yoga and essential oils, etc.
She's made this bracelet of wooden beads you can rub with essential oils.
She uses one oil that has a pine scent that will remind people of our region.
She has also incorporated a State flag emblem - another reminder.

Walk around the neighborhood and figure out what is missing that you can fulfill.

Kornel,

I live in a similar location: UK, coastal.

You have an opportunity here.

Without applying myself to finding a solution, probably over several days, let me instead give a general recommendation.

Forget doing the obvious. Going the obvious retail route.

White noise.

Instead, bring something unique to the local marketplace. Unique and of course a valid business.

Consider an online-offline hybrid model, which is something I use myself to great effect. Ask yourself how you can integrate online into this offline setting.

Avoid the obvious. Think out of the box and offer something people will notice and need.

So, you wanted a place without the distractions and rented a shop and now, basically, want to start another (retail) business... so you could focus more on your online business ...???

Do you not see the complete lack of logic here...???
