The better to trade in spring and summer. What can be traded on the market profitably. Should You Sell Home Appliances?

Starting your own business, even a small one, is a promising decision that can not only give you the opportunity to earn money, but also lead to the creation of a larger business. Point to market represents one of the most accessible ways to enter the world of entrepreneurship. But in order to succeed in this niche, you need to take into account many nuances, which we will try to analyze in this article.

Is it profitable to open a point in the market?

There is no single answer to this question that would be suitable for all cases. Such a business is really capable of generating good income, but only with a competent approach to its organization.

The time of the 1990s and even 2000s when markets were the main source of interesting goods is long gone. Now a significant part of their clientele was taken away by shopping centers and hypermarkets. But many still go to the markets, because here you can buy products at lower prices, as well as find something unusual that is not found in the same type of chain stores from shopping centers.

To make a point in the market profitable, it is necessary to take into account a number of factors:

• Her location. The profitability of market points from the center to the "back streets" is reduced almost exponentially.
• A competent choice of goods, taking into account possible competition and seasonality. Almost any product will enjoy different popularity on the market at different times of the year, so you need to think over an additional assortment for the “sluggish” months.
• Product pricing. Entrepreneurs usually have to set the smallest price for expensive clothes and food, and the highest price for inexpensive wardrobe items, small things like batteries and the like. At the same time, some entrepreneurs prefer to earn thanks to a large turnover, others - thanks to a high margin.
• Your activity, discipline and self-control. In order for the trade to go well, you must regularly update the assortment, keep abreast of the latest fashion news, and also effectively control yourself. In fact, there will be no boss over you, and it will be very easy to succumb to laziness.

What to trade in the market

• Choose what you like (within reason). In such a product, you will surely be better oriented, you will be able to present it more advantageously, and in case of “freezing” of some products, you will be happy to keep them for yourself.
• Consider the competition. You should not open a point of sale of goods that are already lacking in your chosen market. This will not bring you the desired profit, and will also cause tense relations with the "neighbors". However, the dissatisfaction of other entrepreneurs should not worry you too much, because you do not come into business to make friends.
• Analyze the potential demand for the selected products. For example, in a market in a relatively new microdistrict, where mostly young families live, you should not start a business selling fishing accessories. At the same time, children's goods in such a place will be in high demand.
• Estimate the dimensions of your future assortment. If it is supposed to trade not in a roller shutter, but in a tent, then you will need to store your goods in a container at night, or take them away by car. Storing bulky items can cost you extra money, thereby reducing your profit margin.
• Think over the way of presentation of goods and the manner of sales. Even the most high-quality and useful product can gather dust on the counter for months if it is not presented effectively enough. It is clear that there are not so many opportunities for this on the market as in mall, however, it’s up to you to lay out the products beautifully and hire a good seller (or become one yourself) - in your power.

How to Find a Market Goods Supplier

Another important point when choosing an assortment that should be considered separately is the search for a supplier. You should buy products where your potential customers cannot buy them: only in this case, selling them at a premium will be appropriate. You can search for suppliers in different ways:

• Using search engines Google or Yandex. However, keep in mind that most wholesale suppliers do not spend a lot of money on promotion on the Internet, and therefore their offers will not be on the first page of search results. Be sure to call several companies before making a choice.
• At industry conferences, exhibitions and fairs. Such events are held in many cities. Suppliers use them to showcase their products and find new partners.
• On the pages of specialized newspapers and magazines. Sometimes in these sources you can find offers that are not even on the Internet.
• Going to the trick when communicating with future competitors. If you liked the product of some other entrepreneur, then you can pretend to be a picky buyer and ask where he gets his products.
• Learn more about your city. It is possible that a little-known dealer of any product, or even a small business that can supply you with goods, operates in your locality. Or perhaps there is such a supplier in a neighboring city.

What markup to make on the goods

Before determining the margin, you must calculate the real cost of the goods. It includes not only the amount you paid the supplier directly, but your travel expenses (if the supplier does not work in your city), the cost of renting a place in the market, taxes, etc. The resulting number is also called the "threshold price" - this is the cost of the goods at which you will not suffer losses, that is, you will work to zero.

The size of the margin can be different: from 15-25% for large items to 100-200% for small or inexpensive items. The specific cost of products must be set, focusing on the average financial capabilities of local residents, as well as on the offers of competitors. Do not demand too much from buyers, as well as seriously reduce the price in an effort to increase sales.

If the demand for your product is elastic, that is, it increases with a decrease in price, then the margin should include the possibility of a discount. Some entrepreneurs deliberately set higher prices in order to subsequently throw off a few hundred rubles: the seller feels good, and the client is satisfied that he “knocked out” the discount.

How to choose a place for a future point in the market

Theoretically, your place in the market should be located:

• in the most accessible place;
• at the point with the greatest distance from competitors;
• in a place close to which all the amenities you need are located (a place for storing goods, a toilet, a fitting room, a cafe, etc.)

Naturally, in real life perfect place it is unlikely to succeed, but you can try to choose the point that will be closest to it. If we are talking about a tent market, then it will not be superfluous to make friends with its administrator (perhaps even give him some kind of gift), so that he will give you exactly the place that you would like to take. In any case, it's definitely not worth quarreling with the administrator.

How to open an IP

In general, the process of registration of IP is reduced to the following sequence of steps:

• Choose the registration method: at the local tax office or via the Internet. For the second option, you will need to purchase an electronic digital signature.
• Competently fill in all the columns of the application form P21001.
• Pay the state fee (manually or online). In 2017, it is 800 rubles.
• Select the desired taxation system. Novice entrepreneurs usually prefer the simplified system (STS). A notification of the transition to the simplified tax system can be submitted along with an application for registration of an individual entrepreneur.
• Submit to tax office an application, a copy of an identity document, a receipt for the transfer of state duty and 2-3 copies of a notification of the transition to the simplified tax system.

Thus, opening a profitable point in the market is a very real task, if you approach things wisely and carefully evaluate all the available nuances. Use the tips above to get down to business and make your small business profitable. Perhaps it will be your first step on the path to successful entrepreneurship and big profits.

There are a huge number of positions and directions in which you can develop a trading network. Some of them are attractive due to their large turnover, others - with a high percentage margin, others - with a one-time profit, and others - with relative stability. Many sellers are let down by the desire to maximize profits without considering other significant factors. Meanwhile, it is necessary to take into account not only the figures of net profit from the sale, but also the requirements for the storage of goods, consumer demand, seasonality. Moreover, much depends on start-up capital, which you can spend on the purchase of the first batches of goods.

Which store to open?

It is not always necessary to chase the possibility of a high margin. For example, in retail chains selling food products, the retail markup rarely exceeds 10%, however, due to the fact that products are always well bought, even such a markup is quite profitable. Naturally, when planning food trade, we must not forget that this is a perishable product that is demanding on storage conditions. Therefore, you must take care of storage space and dispose of excess goods in the warehouse in time. To some extent, this also applies to household chemicals, although the shelf life here is much longer.

Hygiene products and household chemicals are also products that are always in demand, but the competition in this field is very high.

Unlike food products, clothing and footwear provide the seller with a high profit, due to the possibility of a significant (up to 200%) margin, relative to the purchase price. Here, too, it is worth focusing on the average buyer, because high-end clothing brands, although they provide a larger one-time income, are much more difficult to sell. In addition, the start-up capital required to purchase clothes of the middle price segment in the right assortment is much less than if you work with the premium segment. The undoubted advantage of the clothing trade is the lack of expiration dates, but seasonality has to be paid for this. Particular attention should be paid to children's things: it is profitable to trade them, while buyers will come again and again, as their children grow up.

As for the low one-time profit, don't be afraid of it if your product is popular enough to be bought in large volumes. For example, a package in a supermarket rarely costs more than one or two rubles, but given that it Wholesale price does not exceed 20 kopecks, it turns out that the markup is up to a thousand percent. The main thing is to provide the necessary demand.

Keep in mind that certain types of activities are subject to mandatory licensing. In addition, you may need certificates for a particular product.

Look for profitable options

In general, if there is sufficient buying interest, many “compromise” product categories can be found that cost five to ten times less than the selling price, and do not need to sell several thousand units to generate an acceptable income. In this regard, children are ideal consumers. Even a small outlet next to a circus or an amusement park can bring huge profits. You can sell cheap Chinese toys, cotton candy or popcorn. For example, the cost of an average glass of popcorn is 4-5 rubles (of which 3 rubles is, in fact, a paper cup), and the selling price is about 50 rubles.

In most cases, a business in the field of trade is a win-win option, because it is always easier to sell products than to produce them. And in order to organize a profitable business, it is not at all necessary to start with the wholesale distribution of large consignments of goods - a beginner can at first rent a tent at the local central market. And having decided on the place, it is worth deciding what is profitable to trade in the market. Trading on the market is profitable! Large flows of people are observed here every day, which, if there is a demanded product and a good location of the tent, will positively affect the final profit of the entrepreneur. And before you start trading in the market, it is important to conduct market research in order to understand which products are in high demand in a particular market, how much competition is and how much consumers are willing to pay for a quality product. The answers to these questions will help you decide what is the best way to trade in the market.

The choice of goods for sale

It is not difficult to choose a product for its further sale, based on an analysis of a specific sales market. And a novice entrepreneur should take into account several important criteria:

• demand,
• location outlet,
• tent size,
• start-up capital,
• seasonality,
• reliable suppliers.

The main thing - right choice goods 🙂

Demand is the most important criterion. An entrepreneur needs to walk around the market and identify those categories of goods that are clearly lacking here with high consumer demand. The principle is simple. Buyers constantly crowd at the only tent with deli meats? Then it would be better to sell meat in a particular market. Big mistake entrepreneurs - to trade in what only they like. Here we need a different approach - to focus on the product in which a large circle of consumers is interested.

Many experienced sellers, answering the question, what do you need to trade in the market, unanimously answer - the “right” place. And when choosing goods for further sale, you must also strictly adhere to this rule. As a rule, the territory of markets is divided into certain zones. And if it was possible to profitably rent a tent, which is located in the area where outerwear is offered for sale, it is completely impractical to trade vegetables here, since people will go to other departments of the market for food. It turns out that vegetables will not be in good demand here. "Bread" places in the markets, as a rule, have been occupied for a long time, and therefore, novice entrepreneurs, as a rule, get tents somewhere on the periphery or in dead ends. But with a quality product it is quite realistic in short time develop your client base.

When deciding what can be traded on the market, a businessman should also take into account the size of the rented place. If all that we managed to "get" is a tent for 3-5 m 2, then it will be unprofitable to sell large-sized auto parts or fur coats here - it will not be possible to offer customers a full range. But trading fish, tea or cigarettes will be convenient and profitable.

The size of the available start-up capital has a direct impact on what goods it is profitable to trade on the market. As practice shows, it can be costly to trade in things, electrical equipment, fast food. Therefore, an entrepreneur here should really look at things and evaluate their financial capabilities, so as not to burn out in the very first months of work.

Is it profitable to trade in the same fur coats on the market? In the autumn-winter period - of course, yes. But in the summer you need to be prepared for the fact that there will be practically no demand. Therefore, when choosing a product for sale, it is worth considering the seasonality of trade. Not wanting to "idle", you need to abandon seasonal goods. There is another option - depending on the season, change the assortment.

With established contacts with a reliable supplier of demanded goods, you can start your business by “adapting” to it. A quality product, in most cases, is the key to success, and therefore, it is better to sell just such products, moreover, at an affordable price. And to avoid further downtime, it is important to establish uninterrupted supply of goods.

How to make a business profitable?

Having made a firm decision “I want to trade on the market” and having already chosen a product for sale, you can begin to implement your plan.

Even in the case of a small business, it is important not to overestimate your abilities. And an important rule here is the development of a business plan. If borrowed funds are not required in the process of activity, the project can be drawn up purely schematic, only for yourself. In the future, this will help calculate expenses and income, develop the business.

There are not too many organizational issues here, when compared with some other areas. It is unlikely that it will be possible to trade on the market without an individual entrepreneur, but the execution of all the necessary documentation will not take much time from the entrepreneur. By ordering a certain amount of goods from the supplier, and filling the shelves with products, you can start your activity.

How to learn how to trade in the market correctly?

What are the nuances to consider when own business in the central markets of cities?

• At first, you should not buy too large volumes of goods for the sale - in case of failure, you can incur large expenses.
• Having rented a not very good place in the market, you need to take care of advertising - a prominent sign, distribution of leaflets, discount offers. Otherwise, profits will be small.
• To save money, you can stand behind the counter yourself. But not knowing how to attract customers, it is better to entrust this business to an experienced seller - so the profit will be greater.

And do not forget about the importance of bookkeeping - all expenses and income should be clearly recorded. In the field of trade, everything cannot be left to chance, and therefore, each figure must be reflected in the balance sheets.

What is the article about?

In some life situations, such a problem arises when there are not enough material resources. In this case, people often wonder what to sell in order to earn. Although in some situations entrepreneurs who are just starting their own business do the same.

Products from a Chinese manufacturer

There was a time when relationships flourished according to the buy-sell scheme. However, it is long gone. Currently, in-demand products can be sold using a method such as dropshipping. Its essence is quite simple and does not require almost any cost from its performer. This is the usual delivery of products from its manufacturer to its buyer. Using this method, you can earn good money selling products from China. The best-selling goods have always been and will always be made in China, as they cost less than other producing countries. The advantage of such a sale will be that there is no need to invest your cash, as the goods are paid in advance by the buyer. The same item guarantees that there will be no downtime of products, they will always be in circulation.

Using an Internet Bulletin Board

Since it is the 21st century in the yard, it would be logical to ask the question of what to sell on the Internet in order to make money. To date, there are many free online sites that work on the principle of a bulletin board. In addition, such sites are completely free, which means that it costs nothing to post information about the sale of your product. All these sites are quite similar to each other, and therefore the rules and the list of what can be implemented there are approximately the same. Here is a small list of products that you can try to sell through Internet bulletin boards:

1. Personal items that have become unnecessary for any reason.
2. Can be purchased various products and its resale, receiving interest from the sale.
3. Sale of goods wholesale.

In addition to using existing sites, you can create your own Internet portals, where you should post various profitable offers for the sale of products. If you ask people who specialize in sales what to sell to make money, they will list roughly the following categories:

• Gold, silver and other jewelry items, except those that belong to the family as heirlooms.
• You can engage in the sale of such goods as cosmetics from a large company. True, for this you need to become a representative of such a company.

What to sell to make good money?

A very interesting option for selling goods can be, at first glance, trash that ordinary people do not need for nothing. However, there is a type of people who are called collectors. This segment of the population is quite capable of acquiring, for example, some kind of badge or coin, which ordinary man in the street will seem like a trinket with no value. In some cases, the answer to the question of what to sell in order to earn money may be antiques and other valuables belonging to different collections. It is more difficult to implement them, because first you need to spend the amount on their purchase, and then find the same collector who will pay even more than the amount for which the item was purchased.

This also includes residents of rural areas, as they receive a good income from the sale of vegetables, fruits, dairy products, etc. Some entrepreneurs buy large volumes of products from the villagers, and then resell them in the city at a higher price. This type of activity can also be attributed to the answer to the question of what is profitable to sell.

What are people buying?

When the question arises of making money selling something, it is always worth remembering that there are directions that will be in demand always and everywhere, and at any time. What to sell to earn quickly and a lot? One of these areas is real estate. The sale and purchase of housing will always be in trend, since no one wants to live on the street. This way of earning requires certain investments, however, with the right approach, it will quickly return the amount spent and earn interest. We are talking about the resale of private houses, apartments or garages, for example. With constant monitoring of various ads, you can stumble upon one in which the owner writes about an urgent sale of housing, for example. The reason for this may be departure, unwillingness to look for a buyer for a long time, etc. In such cases, sellers are very often ready to make concessions and drop the amount from the initial one by 10-15%. These are the offers you need to look for. Having bought a property at a lower price, it remains only to add interest and resell it. Thus, you can earn a lot of money, doing almost nothing.

What can be quickly sold online?

As mentioned earlier, wondering what to sell in order to earn money, you should turn your attention to the Internet. However, message boards are far from everything that can generate income. Despite the fact that almost everything that can be bought is present on the Web, and the demand, like the supply, is great, there are areas in which the demand is clearly greater than the supply. These categories include the following products:

1. Clothes and footwear for children and teenagers. Such products are always in use, because, as you know, children grow up quickly. You have to buy new things almost every year, which means that the demand will be constant and large.
2. Various products used at home and in offices.
3. Real estate and cars.
4. Less in demand, but still enjoy original and beautiful photographs.

Although it is worth noting that it is much more difficult to make money selling photos, since photobanks that accept pictures have very high requirements.

How to make money selling photos and equipment?

There are several ways that can help you turn your photography talent into cash. Of course, photos are not the best-selling products, but there are still several ways:

1. Work as a photographer by order or for hire.
2. Get a job at a big company or take pictures for a local newspaper.
3. If a person has a lot of knowledge and education professional photographer, you can start selling video tutorials on how to take original pictures correctly.
4. Somewhat off topic, but a suitable way to earn money can be the sale of special accessories for pictures or directly cameras, etc.
5. A good way to earn money can be the distribution and advertising of other people's products using unique photographs. Many large firms are willing to pay well for this kind of marketing from private photographers.

Implementation of computer games

Returning to the topic of making money on the Internet, you should pay attention to computer games. The gaming industry today occupies a huge niche in the sales market. Platforms like Steam or Origin allow resourceful people to sell game keys, game accounts, and so on. Of course, if you raise the question of what is profitable to sell, then games are not the best, but still, having bought an application at a discount on a sale, for example, in a few weeks you can sell it for much more. However, in order to successfully sell such a product, you need to know where to look for an audience. Most often, the sale and purchase of such products is carried out in specialized groups all on the same Internet. To increase the chance of success for implementation, it is recommended to draw up various unique offers, promotions, etc.

Sale of information

The 21st century is considered the century of information and computer technologies. If the sale of equipment is already a problem, then trading in information is much easier. Being a professional in any field of activity, it is quite possible to earn money by selling your knowledge. You can implement them in the form of video tutorials, online courses. If the baggage of knowledge is supported by extensive experience or some of its additions, then it is quite realistic to write a book about it. Selling books as a business has long been a stable industry in its own right. Hand crafts are in great demand. If a person has skills in this area, then you can sell both the ready-made products themselves and video tutorials on creating such crafts. You can earn even on the ability to write poetry. If it turns out really well, then you can write them to order or create your own collections that you can sell.

Sales profit

No matter what people say, it is quite difficult to calculate how much income you can get from the sale of something. All due to the fact that too many factors affect the profit in such cases. A huge role is played by the type of product itself, how much goods the seller has and in what place he sells it. It is worth noting that the fact of location is one of the most significant, since for maximum sales efficiency it is necessary to find the right audience. There are several other factors such as the uniqueness of products, which affect profit margins in the highest degree. When starting your own business selling something, it is very important to study all the preferences of potential customers in order to offer them the most suitable product.

Resale Opportunities

Of course, being engaged in the resale of goods, real estate, knowledge, etc., you can get tired, and all this can get boring. However, you need to understand that constant fuss and thoughts about what you can buy cheaper and sell more expensive is a direct way to earning real money. The best thing, of course, is to devote yourself to real estate business. However, if at some point the resale stops and the apartment remains, then you can always start renting it out. This is one of the most simple ways earnings, and passive. And this means that he will not interfere with doing any other things. By selling apartments or private houses, you can get good fortunes almost at any time.

Sale of furniture

Among the many ways to earn money, there are those that require certain skills. What is profitable to sell, knowing how to work well with your hands? This is not a job that requires education. Furniture can be an interesting selling option. However, a simple resale will not bring practically any profit. Therefore, it is worth paying attention to those specimens that have lost their presentation. Buying for next to nothing products that have defects, poor paintwork, broken parts, etc., you can also earn money. But this will require a certain amount of effort. Troubleshooting, painting as well creativity to give furniture a marketable and unique look, it can significantly increase its value. Thus, having bought an old and ugly sofa, having worked on it, you can sell it at a price that will be several times higher. In addition, handicraft will always be highly valued among people of the upper class. Paying enough attention handmade, furniture can be sold at huge prices.

What to trade in a small store: what is profitable, what product is better to sell

Many aspiring entrepreneurs are wondering: what to trade in small shop. In fact, the question is much deeper than it seems - after all, in a store with an area of ​​\u200b\u200ba couple of dozen square meters not any product can be sold profitably, especially if the outlet is located in a residential area, that is, within walking distance. In this article, we will look at best options for the organization of trade in a small area.

Products

The first thing that comes to mind when it comes to starting a retail business is opening a grocery store. And it's really a good option. An area of ​​20-30 square meters will be more than enough. The initial investment in the purchase of goods and commercial equipment will not exceed seven to eight thousand euros. If you buy used equipment, you can save about a thousand euros. Net profit can reach 1.5-2.5 thousand euros per month, depending on the location of the object.

Children's products

You can also make a lot of money selling baby products. The investment will be more than when opening a grocery store, but the profit can be much higher. So, in addition to 9-10 thousand dollars of initial investment in goods and trade software you will need to invest another 200-300 dollars in the arrangement of the ramp - many parents will come with strollers. The yield of such an object is on average about 2.2-2.7 thousand dollars and more.

Goods for pets

Every second city dweller keeps pets, so the pet store is very profitable business which does not require significant investment. The initial investment will not exceed six to seven thousand euros if you buy feed in the middle and lower price segments.

However, keep in mind that many pet owners want their pets to receive the highest quality product. And in order to earn on this, investments will have to be increased: about one and a half thousand euros will have to be invested in expanding the range of high-quality feeds. The profit will be from 1.2 to 2.3 thousand euros. If you establish contact with local manufacturers of furniture for animals, you can earn 200-500 euros per month additionally.

draft beer

The shops draft beer bring a stable, albeit small income and require minimal investment. In a room of 30 square meters, you can open a retail outlet with about 16 taps, that is, you can offer your customers 16 types of beer. Preference should be given to domestic varieties, as they are much cheaper and allow for a large margin (up to 100 percent), providing higher profits. The total investment in the opening of such an institution will be about four to five thousand dollars. Earnings in this business entirely depend on the season - if in winter the profit will be 1-1.5 thousand dollars per month, then in the summer the income will be better - up to 2-4 thousand dollars per month. It is especially profitable to open such stores in regions with a warm climate.

Pharmacy

Opening a pharmacy on its own will cost 14-16 thousand dollars, under a franchise - 20-25 thousand. However, the second option is preferable: a pharmacy that has a familiar, well-publicized sign is more credible, and, accordingly, will attract more customers and bring in more profits. In addition, the franchise provides a lot of other benefits such as staff training, marketing support, and so on. The average monthly income of a convenience store is $3,000-4,000.

Flowers

If, thinking about what you can trade in a small shop, you opt for flowers, you will never regret it. Investments in opening a flower shop will be only 3-4 thousand dollars, and the average monthly profit will be from one and a half thousand euros. The only serious drawback of such a business is the short shelf life of flowers, and it is possible to understand how much goods should be available only through trial and error.

Confectionery

Investments in opening a confectionery store will amount to approximately 4-5.5 thousand dollars, taking into account the purchase of equipment and the first batch of goods. If there are large franchises in this area in your city, it makes sense to take a closer look at them - as in the case of pharmacies, the investment when buying a franchise will be greater, but the profitability will also be higher. Profit from the sale of confectionery products will be from 800 to one and a half thousand dollars a month. You can increase your income by selling tea and coffee.

What to give up

It is impossible not to mention also the options from which, for one reason or another, should be abandoned:

• textile products;
• souvenirs;
• books, stationery and computers;
• cosmetics and perfumery;
• men's clothing and footwear;
• jewelry.

Now, knowing what to sell in a small store, and what is better to refuse, you can choose the option that you like and can afford. And even if something doesn't work the first time, don't give up. Remember, success comes to the stubborn.

What is profitable to trade

Trade is one of the pillars of the economy and the most popular types activities in private business. It is often difficult for beginner businessmen to decide what to sell in order to get the maximum profit without risk.

There are a huge number of positions and directions in which you can develop a trading network. Some of them are attractive due to their large turnover, others - with a high percentage margin, others - with a one-time profit, and others - with relative stability. Many sellers are let down by the desire to maximize profits without considering other significant factors. Meanwhile, it is necessary to take into account not only the figures of net profit from the sale, but also the requirements for the storage of goods, consumer demand, seasonality. In addition, a lot depends on the initial capital that you can spend on the purchase of the first batches of goods.

Which store to open?

It is not always necessary to chase the possibility of a high margin. For example, in retail chains that sell food products, the retail markup rarely exceeds 10%, but due to the fact that products are always well bought, even such a markup is quite profitable. Naturally, when planning food trade, we must not forget that this is a perishable product that is demanding on storage conditions. Therefore, you must take care of storage space and dispose of excess goods in the warehouse in time. To some extent, this also applies to household chemicals, although the shelf life here is much longer. Unlike food products, clothing and footwear provide the seller with a high profit, due to the possibility of a significant (up to 200%) margin, relative to the purchase price.

Here, too, it is worth focusing on the average buyer, because high-end clothing brands, although they provide a larger one-time income, are much more difficult to sell. In addition, the start-up capital required to purchase clothes of the middle price segment in the right assortment is much less than if you work with the premium segment. The undoubted advantage of the clothing trade is the lack of expiration dates, but seasonality has to be paid for this. Particular attention should be paid to children's things: it is profitable to trade them, while buyers will come again and again, as their children grow up. As for the low one-time profit, don't be afraid of it if your product is popular enough to be bought in large volumes. For example, a package in a supermarket rarely costs more than one or two rubles, but given that its wholesale price does not exceed 20 kopecks, it turns out that the markup is up to a thousand percent. The main thing is to provide the necessary demand.

Look for profitable options

In general, if there is sufficient buying interest, many “compromise” product categories can be found that cost five to ten times less than the selling price, and do not need to sell several thousand units to generate an acceptable income. In this regard, children are ideal consumers. Even a small outlet next to a circus or an amusement park can bring huge profits. You can sell cheap Chinese toys, cotton candy or popcorn. For example, the cost of an average glass of popcorn is 4-5 rubles (of which 3 rubles is, in fact, a paper cup), and the selling price is about 50 rubles.

An entrepreneur engaged in trade dreams that his goods would not be stale on the shelves, but would quickly find demand. But during the crisis, the financial situation of the population worsens. Accordingly, people are less likely to make purchases of non-essential goods. It would seem that those businessmen who trade clothes, may not worry about this: they say, a crisis is a crisis, and every person needs not only something to eat, but also something to wear every day. However, changing conditions force them to be especially careful when deciding which clothes it is profitable to trade, and which one will almost certainly not find demand. The summer period of the year is approaching.

Which clothes is it worth trading so that it quickly finds demand and brings profit to the businessman? Look at this question from the point of view of elementary common sense. What clothes are people likely to buy, even in an environment where their financial situation has noticeably worsened? Of course, first of all - inexpensive. But the word "inexpensive" should by no means be synonymous with such words as "bad", "obsolete", etc. That is, if a businessman focuses on inexpensive summer clothes - light trousers, shorts, shirts, T-shirts, blouses, light windbreaker jackets - and at the same time the clothes are of quite acceptable quality, his goods will almost certainly be sold out quickly.

For reliability, it is worth offering customers approximately the same assortment as last season, of course, taking into account the requirements of fashion, and if last summer the goods were quickly sold out. As for expensive, especially exclusive, clothes - during the crisis, the demand for it drops sharply, this is inevitable. Therefore, the share of such goods in the assortment should be minimized or completely abandoned for some time until the moment of a stable improvement in the financial situation. And what about the child clothes? On the one hand, loving parents will by no means leave their baby without the necessary things, especially considering that in the summer the kids spend a lot of time outdoors.

On the other hand, during a crisis period, the sad saying is more true than ever: “It’s not up to fat - I would be alive!”. Practice shows that during a crisis, parents are much more willing to accept worn, but still quite normal children's clothes as a gift from relatives, friends and acquaintances who have older children, rather than go shopping. Therefore, to focus on the children's assortment is simply risky. Of course, you should not completely abandon children's clothing, but its share in your store should not exceed 10-15% of the total.

Life without an office

To begin with, I recommend reading about the tax benefit from the state, which allows you to “earn” up to 90 thousand rubles every year. A friend of mine recently came to me for advice - what kind of business is better to do, where to start, what is the best way to trade, how much money you can start doing business, etc. more profitable to do. The experience of working for myself, of course, appeared in two years - a little experience in retail sales (at one point in time, my partner and I opened 2 small retail outlets and 2 retail stores, and the number of staff reached six. By now, we have sold 2 small retail outlets, and 2 stores merged into one and moved it to another location).

During this time, we have sold everything: fresh flowers, DVDs with films, programs and games, blank media - DVD blanks, flash drives, batteries, light bulbs, and then a large assortment of electrics from 200 items. , connection services to OPSS, cell phones, memory, batteries and other accessories for them, plumbing, photocopying services. Even children's "coloring books" - and then traded. This, of course, is not all, but what I managed to recall with a snap 🙂 I can’t consider myself a professional in the field of retail sales, on the contrary, the more I learn, the more I feel like a horse.

However, I have already developed my own view on most of the issues and problems that I had to solve. I tried to give my answers to these questions, they are subjective, but now I have just such convictions. I divided our conversation into several semantic blocks and I will slowly lay them out. If you want to start practicing right away and get an answer to the question “what to trade / what services to provide”, then immediately read about it in the article “what to do - list” (warning! There are no ready-made answers in this article, but it is highly recommended to read it, like all articles in this series) . So, about my friend who came to me with a question “what is better to trade and what to do”.

There is also an interesting situation in which my friend is. He practically does not work anywhere, but he is provided for - there is food and housing, i.e. in principle, he can afford not to work at all. He just wants to do something so that he has money, and likes it, and so as not to go to work for his uncle. In general, I was a little surprised.

Tell me what you want.

I want to do exactly what is profitable now, what works best now!

So after all this is never known in advance.

We moved one outlet only 200 meters away, and the revenue increased 10 times - everything is the same as it was, only the place was changed. Well, i.e. in the “old” place it was completely unprofitable to deal with this product, but in the new one, you see, some prospects loomed… I.e. how to say for sure - what is the best trade?

Well, tell me, what are you trading now - is it profitable to do it?

Well, I'm telling you - no matter what I tell you, it won't help you in any way! Do you think it's all about "what to trade"? Now I think that this should be the last thing to bother with.

Especially if you just want to get started. Don't take your attempt at a start too seriously and expect super mega success. Most likely, this will not happen. It's training and experience, and your job is to minimize the cost of that training. Training, I must say, very interesting. Those. it’s not a sin to spend money on such training, but if there is an opportunity to reduce its cost, then use it.

Well, you say so ... If you immediately set yourself up for the fact that “it won’t work”, then what’s the point in taking it up? Wasting time and money?

Well, in general, yes. You need to answer yourself the question - how important is this for you, how much you unacceptable possible failure.

If you decide to work for yourself, i.e. become an entrepreneur in some way (which, in general, is not always the same thing), then in your activity you will change not only the product that you will trade, but also the location of your stores, and the form of organization, and key employees etc. You will have several projects (lines of activity, product groups), some of them will be profitable, and some will be unprofitable. There will be mistakes in your activity, which are an integral part of any development, any purposeful activity. The word "entrepreneur" from the word "undertake" - i.e. you will constantly have to move, be on the lookout, ideally a little ahead of the rest, and this is impossible without some, even a very small, risk.

If you mean to engage in any activity that will be guaranteed to bring profit, then put money in a bank deposit. Bank interest is a profit for those who want guarantees. If you are going to engage in entrepreneurial activity, then there are only probabilities and opportunities. And if you want some universal formula that guarantees success in your very first business project, then I don’t know such one. Maybe she does exist. - Well, damn it, but if you take a shopping area in a passing place in the city center, bring clothes - is it really possible to fly over? In the center right? Clothes, I see, they take them everywhere, at any price.

It seems to me that the days when people looked at the price of clothes have already passed. Do you remember how it used to be - even the expressions were “the new coat was done” - it was a whole event, and such clothes were worn for years. And now - every year people buy something new for themselves. The same thing with shoes - a year has been vilified, the fashion has changed - you have to buy a new one. Here clothes and shoes are now bought as often as almost bread. It seems to me that this is a win-win option ... - Well, this is already very close to my point of view that it is better to start with traditional, proven by other options. Personally, I like Chichvarkin's entrepreneurial concept - "if someone sells something somewhere, then stand next to me and sell cheaper."

The more traditional the business you start with, the better - you will get your hands on it and learn to see the opportunities that will allow you to stand out from the competition. However, I am skeptical about the idea of ​​some "guaranteed" scenarios - like, "in the center", " hot commodity, which will definitely always be taken. Everything is interconnected - the closer to the center, the more expensive the rent. The more expensive the rent, the higher your prices, and so on. All gears in this mechanism are interconnected.

How about this thought. You know, they say that you need to go into business only if you have some kind of unique idea that has not yet been implemented by anyone, some kind of revolutionary product. Maybe I shouldn't be in business until I come up with something innovative, some unique product?

Build at least one stable working trading system in a traditional business, and you will not lack innovative ideas. You will see such a field of activity and development options that you will have something to make money on even without any revolutionary products, if you are not lazy. Or maybe, indeed, over time, you will come up with a successful innovative idea about a unique product, which you, having entrepreneurial experience, can competently and effectively implement. This is exactly the situation when the seeds fall on fertile, prepared soil. And one innovative idea is not enough - if you cannot implement it, then you will be completely disappointed in business.

You need at least a little practice to work with these business mechanisms: sales, purchases, relations with partners, relations with personnel, reporting and accounting. Do you know how many potential "brilliant businessmen" have not even reached the stage of issuing a certificate of state registration individual entrepreneur? It's so difficult! I know several of them. This applies not only to registration, but to any "technical" aspects of doing business. When you own the technique, it will be easier for you to evaluate "innovative" products from the point of view of ... a businessman.

Yes, from a business point of view. From time to time, people appear who come up with another “unique product” that can be really unique, but ... on which you can’t make money. You should not be fooled by the revolutionary nature of the product, this alone is not enough to make a profit from the business. Previously, the Capital show was broadcast on TNT, which was visited by various people with their innovative products, who were looking for investors among the well-known capitalists of our country. 90% of "innovators" stalled and broke down on the question of potential investors "tell me how I can make money with your product?".

Listen, I still don’t understand what I should trade? All the same, after all, there is a difference between what to trade - shoes or medicines, food or clothing?

Let's do it. I will speak for myself. Look, since I believe that it doesn’t matter where to start, what to trade, then start with what you like best. That's all.

This will be my advice to you. If you like clothes - do clothes, if you like household chemicals - learn how to sell it. It's your business. The main thing here, in my opinion, is to master business technologies - sales, purchases, etc. And vice versa - a successful entrepreneur can make money on almost everything he undertakes. And if it does not work out, then this is not a reason to stop doing business - one project more - one project less. Therefore, it is strategically more profitable to “pump” yourself than a product. It doesn't matter what you are going to trade, your chances of success depend very little on it. Figuratively speaking, before making scientific discoveries, at least learn to read and write - this is the basis. This is my opinion, use it however you like.

The main conclusion of this article:

For retail sales, the choice of WHAT to trade is not as important as WHERE to trade. On the good location Almost EVERYTHING will sell well. And vice versa, if the place is bad, then you will have to experiment with the assortment and specialization of the store.

Trade is one of the most profitable sectors of the economy. You need to start your business with detailed monitoring of the market, studying the buyer, determining demand and taking into account seasonality for specific categories of goods. Retail- a large field for entrepreneurial activity, but all the niches in it have long been occupied. This does not mean that you need to give up, on the contrary, you should study the specifics of your regional market and accurately determine the group of goods with which you will work. The goods market has many positions that are suitable for a start-up business. You need to choose those where there are minimal risks, a high percentage margin and a large volume of trade. The stability of consumer demand is also important, especially for essential goods. These goods include food, personal care products and household chemicals. They are in steady demand and always relevant. There is also a category of seasonal goods, the demand for which is greatest in a certain period. The rest of the goods have a less pronounced trade specificity and are secondary, from which the demand depends solely on the needs of the buyer in certain conditions and environments.

To know what is profitable to trade in the market, you need to carefully study the market, develop a business development strategy and plan all the factors that can reduce demand. Also, you should carefully consider the indicators of start-up capital, the specifics of the selected group of goods and calculate the possible margin. Yes, on foodstuffs in retail chains, the margin is 10-15%, household chemicals and hygiene products can be sold from 20-30%, but clothes, especially seasonal ones, can have a profit of up to 200% per unit.

Where to start trading?

First of all, you need to decide on the trade segment. If you intend to sell products, you must take care of storage conditions and equip storage facilities. Limited shelf life of dairy products, fresh vegetables and fruits, meat, etc. requires the supply of refrigeration chambers for trading floors to create suitable conditions for their storage.

Set goals ahead of time. Do not buy goods in unlimited quantities if you are not sure of their sale. Immediately find contractors and suppliers with whom you will cooperate. Discuss the possibility of changing the volume of purchased goods, depending on the implementation.

You need to start trading in the market with the organization of a point of sale. Depending on the specifics of the trade, plan what suits you best: a container in the market, a pavilion or a trading floor. You need to agree on a lease in advance, as good points do not stagnate for a long time. It is better to rent a room closer to the center of the market than to settle for remote points. Please note that the most profitable places are those with the highest customer traffic: the beginning of the shopping aisle, the exit of the market and the first row.

Before you start trading on the market, decide on the form of doing business. There are three main forms: sole proprietorship, partnership and corporation. Each form has several modifications.

The optimal solution for trading on the market is individual (private) entrepreneurship with simplified taxation. Register all documents with the tax service and issue an IP, which will help to avoid problems with the business in the future. Official registration allows you to build relationships with suppliers and minimize risks. Trading on the market without registering an individual entrepreneur is prohibited and this is fraught with a fine and administrative responsibility.

What to choose for trading?

Everything is sold at the bazaar and the potential buyer knows that it is more profitable to buy, for example, meat or vegetables in the market than in a supermarket. The first thing you need to trade on the market is to select a category of goods for sale. The type, volume and name of the goods are of great importance for the effective conduct of business. The most popular products for sale on the market are:

• meat and fish;
• milk products;
• personal hygiene products;
• household chemicals;

If you decide for yourself that I want to trade on the market, then analyze the scope of each of the areas of trade food, non-food construction. Essential goods are in constant demand. These include:

• bread and bakery;
• toilet paper;
• potatoes, carrots, onions;
• meat and offal;
• intimate hygiene products;

Which goods are profitable to sell on the market depends on its location. If this is the central market of a large city, then everything that you sell will bring profit. If this is the outskirts of the city, then it is better to give preference to clothes, shoes, and a confectionery. In a small village, only essential and essential goods are in demand, so you should not sell any dried fruits, tea shops and gourmet sweets. For coastal areas, the best solution is fast food: ice cream, hamburgers, hot dogs and low-alcohol drinks. The latter require a license.

What is better to sell on the market?

The market is popular because you can buy everything here, much cheaper and, according to many consumers, best quality.

If you are targeting a specific client, for example, young people, then always follow the latest fashion, track the taste preferences of the buyer and his financial capabilities.

It is most profitable to trade meat and fish, but there are many nuances. First of all, you need to create conditions for their storage. Plan in advance who you will buy meat from, check the quality of the goods from suppliers, documents and licenses. You are responsible for the quality of meat and fish. Fish requires a freezer, but it is less problematic in terms of implementation than meat. Fish sells well, both frozen and chilled, and meat is only fresh.

Another thing that can be sold on the market is seasonal vegetables and fruits. In the summer, cherries, watermelon, strawberries, etc. will bring a lot of profit. It is important to organize storage conditions and promptly sell the goods, as they are perishable. The same cucumbers, potatoes, tomatoes are better sold in summer. But milk, cheese, sausage products are popular all year round.
