1.Invest:
This is the beginning of the journey-the investment. It may be intimidating for you have to spend money on buying your products first and you do not know if you will be able to sell them. But you need to have confidence in your abilities. And you should start small. How do you invest and then sell. You buy a candy that is for example five cents, but you sell that candy for 10 cents. Not only will you get the money back for the five cents you spent but you will also get the extra five cents. And before buying your candy, know what your audience target wants, so you do not waste any money. You can do this!
2.Have a mixture:
Now, when the sweets that you are selling at a low price are making great sales, it is time for you to invest in expensive sweets and work on selling those too. Now why have I mentioned the word “too”? Just because you have made great sales selling the cheaper sweets does not mean you stop selling them. You can continue selling them with the expensive sweets. the cheap sweets can continue to make you more money and can even help you afford the more expensive sweets. Remember, if the sweets are expensive, do not sell them at a cheap price, those are for the cheap sweets.
3.Take note:
From the beginning onwards, notice what you have bought and how you are selling them for and then the amount that has been bought for you and hence the money you have made for it. In a business, this is important. This helps you keep track on the amount of money you are gaining or giving, the amount of stuff you are buying and receiving. It will keep things controlled for you in that realm and you will not be all over the place and confused. And make sure your transactions are in one notebook, do not disperse them in so many notebooks, it will make things easier for you.
4.A pack:
Now for example you have a pack of candy, then sell each piece of candy for five cents each or to make is lower, two cents. If there are so many candies in the bag, it can make a lot of profit for you but make sure that the candies that you are selling are worth the price you are selling for. For example, if the candy is really small keep it to two cents if they are bigger in comparison 5 cents or whatever you think is right. Do not go overboard with your prices as people may not want to buy your product then. Be simple when it comes to your dealings. But if they are expensive chocolate then that is another case.
5.Tell:
Now, the only way people are going to know about your business is if you tell them about it. Go to your friends and tell them. Tell your friends to spread the word too. It can help you a great deal. And listen to people’s opinions regarding their talk about candies. What kind do they like? What is the affordability quality in your area. Kee open ears. And then when you hear from people their suggestions, you sit down with yourself and decide from what you have heard and logical reasoning what is best for your business and go on from there with your dealings.
First impression is the best impression:
When you meet your customers, be friendly and kind. Make buying and selling easy. If you have good behavior, you will be seen as more likable, and you may get more approaches in the future or someone will the spread the word that you are a kind individual. But do not be too kind that you let people push you over. Just do not be mean. Be kind and friendly but have control over your business.
Conclusion:
Starting a business may seem difficult and you might be scared but things only happen when you leave your comfort zone. It may not only be the case that you start gaining money, but on top of that, you start to grow as an individual and become confident. The best of luck to your business; you can do it!
