Instructions
Step 1
Rent a place in the market or get permission to set up a retail outlet outside of it - in the second case, you will need the "go-ahead" of the local administration and department of trade. The owner of the tent must be registered as an individual entrepreneur, and the Rospotrebnadzor and the fire inspectorate will evaluate the efforts made by him to its equipment.
Step 2
Get equipment for selling flowers - you will need a collapsible tent itself, flower vases and racks for packing materials. The set is pretty standard, so the choice of "equipment" for a trade tent is not a problem. Difficulties will have to be faced when the approach of winter is felt, and the tent needs to be converted into a closed kiosk - such an opportunity should be foreseen in advance.
Step 3
Take care when you have everything ready for trade, finally, about the product itself - those who sell flowers at retail, as a rule, deal with wholesale suppliers. The easiest, but also the least risky way to work is buying a batch of flowers for one day, in accordance with the sales volume of your outlet. In addition, you will have to regularly purchase consumables - a wide variety of types of packaging for flowers.
Step 4
Expand your flower business as soon as you see that things are going well and the product is on sale. Open other tents organized on the same principle, purchase large quantities of goods, which will allow you to make a large mark-up. Naturally, the matter will not be limited to the "daily" portion, therefore, for flowers, then it will be necessary to equip a warehouse with an air conditioning system.
