Instructions
Step 1
Choose a place to work. In this case, cross-country ability plays a key role, since it is unlikely that customers will go specifically for your product. It can be a free-standing building in a busy area, a small pavilion at a bus stop, or a department in a large store. Pay attention to the presence of large retail chains with similar goods nearby, as the fruit department of the supermarket can be the most competitive for you.
Step 2
Obtain permission from the Sanitary and Epidemiological Service. Solve all administrative issues, as well as the problems of garbage disposal, sewerage, heating, security.
Step 3
Find product suppliers. Since the product is classified as perishable, an impeccable logistics system is required. You must promptly replenish stock balances, monitor the freshness of the fruit and, at the same time, prevent the absence of certain items. Try to build relationships with your suppliers so that you can be one of the first to bring in seasonal fruit in your area.
Step 4
Purchase commercial equipment: trays, baskets, scales, tables. The equipment can be the simplest and most inexpensive, because you will create the beauty of the counters with the help of the fruits themselves. Do not use fake fruits for decoration just because they often look more attractive than natural ones, while artificial greenery may well come in handy.
Step 5
Create a layout that grabs the attention of buyers. Fruit should be clean and tasty. The showcase will look more harmonious if you think over the color contrasts created with the help of different varieties. If the assortment contains greens and vegetables, combine them in such a way that the buyer has a desire to buy several items at once. Fruits unfamiliar to the average man can be accompanied by information booklets.
