In recent years, many people have a need for additional income. Quite often, the cultivation and subsequent sale of agricultural products is considered as such earnings. However, today buyers have a huge choice - almost any fruits and vegetables, at any time of the year, can be purchased not only in bazaars, but also in supermarkets. Therefore, not all trade is successful. What are the secrets of successful bazaar trading?
Instructions
Step 1
Determine what exactly you are going to trade. It should be noted that the profit from a one-time trade in agricultural products grown on their own suburban area is not so great. At the same time, many agricultural products are perishable and, as a result, have a fairly large write-off percentage. As a rule, people who decide to make trade in the bazaar a permanent source of income combine trade in purchased and their own goods.
Agree with neighbors and acquaintances about the terms of buying fruits and vegetables from them, which you can sell at the bazaar.
Step 2
Contact the tax office and register a sole proprietorship or LLC. Fill in all the required paperwork and receive the relevant documents.
Step 3
Try to get into a place with good traffic. If people do not walk in the place of trade, then your business is doomed to failure.
Arrange the product in such a way that it is clearly visible to customers. It is advisable to raise it above the counter.
Step 4
Get ready for work. Pay close attention to your appearance. The seller's hair, clothing and hands must be clean. Women are not advised to overuse cosmetics. An unkempt appearance can alienate a potential buyer.
Swearing or smoking behind the counter also scares off buyers.
Step 5
Always communicate with customers. At the same time, communication should not be intrusive or verbose. Sometimes, one line spoken at the right time determines a person's choice. For example, when answering the question about the price of vegetables, you can add that you yourself ate them yesterday and you really liked it. Try to approach each customer and create a sense of informed choice.
Step 6
Always keep an eye on the quality of the product. This will allow you to get regular customers. Be prepared to provide detailed product information.
Step 7
Set a reasonable price. It has been noticed that the underpriced product is suspicious and associated with poor quality. At the same time, if your price is higher than that of a neighboring seller, then this must be clearly argued.
Track the market situation - the quantity of the same product and its price on the day of trading.
Allow buyers to bargain. Give discounts to regular customers.
Step 8
Be extremely careful with money - be prepared for the fact that you may be handed counterfeit bills or cheated.
Step 9
Beware of theft. Always watch buyers closely. When you see a thief, call for help.
