Instructions
Step 1
The first thing you should do is head to your competitors' candy stores disguised as a regular shopper. Pay attention to how the shops are decorated, what kind of sweets and at what prices the shelves are filled. Ask the sellers for the names of the products that are most in demand. Thus, you will identify up to 10-20 types of sweets that are worth buying in your store at the very beginning. And once you figure out your competitors' pricing policies, you can lower the prices of your sweets, which will immediately attract buyers to you.
Step 2
Choose a suitable space for your shop. It should be cozy but spacious at the same time. Do not forget that storing sweets and other sweets requires a lot of space, and the range will increase over time. Therefore, rent a room "for growth". It can be located either in a noisy shopping center or in a separate building.
Step 3
The format of a store like “supermarket” will become convenient both for you and for buyers. People will be able to walk freely between the candy stands, look at the variety of assortments and collect their favorite delicacies into the basket. And you, in turn, will save on sellers.
Step 4
As for the sellers themselves, it is not bad if they understand the products at a high level. It is advisable to know all the names, to be able to build a scale of popularity of certain types of sweets. It will also be useful if the seller familiarizes himself with his product, because having tried it personally, he will be able to describe the taste and composition in a more competent and colorful way, and advise exactly what the buyer needs.
Step 5
Start by purchasing about 30 types of chocolates and up to 15 types of caramel. You can also add other sweets to the store's assortment: cookies, ice cream, halva, marmalade. Next, you will understand which species are worth buying more, which ones to add to the list, and which ones to get rid of. With the right approach and customer focus, your store should expand and flourish.
Step 6
Thanks to the colorful wrappers, the interior of the store only needs to be supplemented so that it emphasizes and directs all the eyes of customers to the sweets. Therefore, you should prefer a monochromatic design in bright pastel colors with small interesting accents: photographs, pictures, painting.
Step 7
Collect the entire list of documents for opening a store, obtain a permit for trading activities. Buy and register a cash register machine, hire sellers and find suppliers. After all the procedures, feel free to start selling products that will delight both children and adults.
