March 8 is a day of tenderness, attention, gifts for beautiful ladies! Millions of men are already beginning to think in advance - what to give their chosen one, mother, grandmother, sister? Entrepreneurs do not sleep either, for whom the holiday is a great opportunity to earn money. There are several ways to make money on March 8.
How to make money selling flowers?
The most classic option that you can choose as a business on this holiday is selling flowers. Nice, beautiful, pleasing to the eye! Flowers are a gift that is considered one of the most common on this day. They are also used as an addition to the main gift.
Reselling flowers allows you to earn the maximum profit during this period. The most popular are perhaps tulips. For example, a tulip per piece costs about 15-20 rubles (a batch of 100 pieces). For retail sales, the cost can start from 60 rubles. Also, the profit depends on the place that the seller rents, on the period for which the flowers were pre-ordered. In the city center, especially during the rush hour on March 8 and the day before, prices can rise up to 100 rubles apiece. If an entrepreneur has invested 20 thousand rubles, then later he can help out 40-100 thousand rubles in net profit. It is important to have time to place an order for a wholesale supply and store flowers in the warehouse correctly, otherwise a loss is possible.
Gift Baskets
In recent years, the sale of ready-made gift sets has been gaining momentum. They can consist of personal hygiene items, cosmetics, food, and the like. Prefabricated gifts consisting of chocolate of various shapes and tastes, a collection of cookies, and jewelry sets are becoming very popular. In this case, there is no limit to imagination. It is enough just to find a wicker basket or a beautiful box, fill it with whatever comes to mind and will definitely come in handy and will be pleasant for a woman that day. Popular baskets covered with gift foil, transparent bags with beautiful ribbons.
The sale of sets can go through retail chains, regular stores (sets are put at the counter during the holidays). The most effective way, as practice shows, is to sell such gifts through social networks: Instagram, Vkontakte.
Bouquets
Recently, a new original product has entered the market: a bouquet of soft toys. In large shopping centers, you can see individual points that offer these services. Instead of flowers, it contains just cute soft small toys. In addition to them, you can use sweets, chocolate, balloons.
For a "soft" bouquet you will need toys, threads, wire, packaging for flower bouquets or a woven wrapper. You can make them at home yourself and sell them in a rented location or through social networks. The production cost should not be high; toys are a significant waste. They can be purchased in bulk (10-30 rubles apiece). The cost of the bouquet is estimated at 700-800 rubles, depending on the city and demand.
Bouquets can also be made from fruits and food. Fresh fruits are bought at the market, which are strung on skewers, then a bouquet is formed (it all depends on the entrepreneur's imagination). The prime cost of fruit is not high, but you can sell it with a mark-up of up to 50-60 percent. If the city is small, offer free shipping, customers will definitely appreciate it.
