Instructions
Step 1
Before starting a business in the countryside and opening your own store, you need to determine the target group of goods that will be popular and attract customers to you. Naturally, such goods in rural areas are food (bread and sausage products, dairy products, cereals, vegetables and fruits, cigarettes and alcoholic beverages). Therefore, you need to open a grocery store.
Step 2
Identify the items that should always be on sale. To do this, plan inventory so that popular products are on sale every day, and build relationships with suppliers of goods correctly. It is this factor that will ensure your customers' respect.
Step 3
Keep in mind that the assortment of rural shops is always varied, i.e. includes everything you need. Do not try to buy several varieties, for example, the same cookie, because you will not be able to sell most of the goods. Conduct a survey among your customers about what products they want to see in the store.
Step 4
Recognizable brands of goods that are popular in the city may sometimes be completely unpopular with the villagers. As a rule, people come to a store for a specific product without knowing its brand and manufacturers. Therefore, an experienced salesperson will be able to assist buyers and help them choose the right product.
Step 5
Divide the products in your store into appropriate categories: baked goods, dairy products, meat, sausages, fish, candy, etc.
Step 6
The seller in your store should be a sociable and conflict-free person who can find a common language with completely different people. Many villagers perceive the seller as their acquaintance, and the store is a place where you can communicate with fellow villagers. It would be nice if during the first months of your sales outlet you could stand behind the counter yourself to meet potential customers, and the villagers recognized you.
Step 7
A big plus of a shop in a village will be that renting a room in the village will not cost you very much.
Step 8
Opening a grocery store in the countryside is the key to your success, but keep in mind that depending on the population size, the development of priority livestock and plant growing industries, profitable business areas are the following: farming, beekeeping, frozen vegetables and fruits, flour production, greenhouse business, poultry farming, strawberry cultivation, etc.
