Many entrepreneurial young people think about their business, but their financial opportunities are limited. Some take risks, take loans from the bank and open firms with large capital. But a safer option is a trading tent. Such a small business will allow you to gain experience and accumulate capital to expand your business.
To conduct a medium-sized business, you need to have experience in marketing, managerial, economic activity. If you do not own all these skills, you can go bankrupt, unable to withstand competition. The entrepreneur must clearly assess their capabilities, because every mistake can entail significant losses and troubles, in particular with banks.
The trade tent can be stationary or portable. When choosing the main role is the place of trade. For the implementation of seasonal products, portable options are suitable, and for constantly working outlets (especially if you intend to sell expensive goods) - stationary. Clearly determine the target audience and location.
The trade tent should be located in the most passable place, and, of course, the goods should be in demand. For example, if there is an institute nearby, it can be assumed that fast food and drinks will be in demand.
In seasonal trading, it is necessary to analyze the events that take place in the city and determine the places of the greatest concentration of people. You can choose a holiday for the first "entry to the market" with your product, such a start will surely bring you good dividends.
The trade tent should have an attractive appearance, be durable and waterproof. Stationary models close, with such a purchase you need to make sure the locks are reliable.
If the initial capital does not allow you to purchase stalls, you can rent or lease them, which will save and purchase more goods.
For each type of activity, it will be necessary to draw up a certain number of documents, but in any case, it will be mandatory to obtain permission to install the object in a public place. You will also have to visit the sanitary-epidemiological station and Rospotrebnadzor authorities.
On average, all the documentary red tape takes a month, you can contact a law firm where you will be provided with the services of collecting documents and drawing up all contracts. True, such a “pleasure” can cost a five-figure sum, which is not relevant for a novice businessman.
And in conclusion, it is worth emphasizing once again the importance of market analysis before opening a retail outlet. You need to study in detail the trends in market changes in your segment. Small entrepreneurs are not able to conduct any advertising campaigns, so all responsibility lies with the choice of the product itself and the location of the outlet.
To distinguish yourself from your competitors, decorate the tents with advertising stickers and other colorful and colorful decorations.
Particular attention should be paid to the work of the seller. We need careful and competent accounting of goods, as well as control over the work itself. In addition, the trading tent should always be in perfect cleanliness.
