What can be sold on March 8th. How to make money from scratch selling flowers for the holidays. Legal way to make money

A friend of mine started with this mini. There is such a day in the year - March 8. On this day, half of the country buys flowers, alcohol and sweets like crazy. And another part of people thinks how to make money on this.

It is extremely difficult not to sell flowers on this day.

A few days before the holiday, you need to find flower shops on the Internet. Draw a rough map of the city. Determine where there are "empty" places. Most likely there will be no empty places at all, you need to choose places in which there are fewer flower shops, there will probably be queues, and people really do not like to stand in lines ... It is also worth taking a closer look at places with high traffic of people: near large supermarkets, in the center cities, near markets.

When the places are selected, you need to see them with your own eyes, try on where you can stand. In almost every city there are “illegal mini markets”, places where some people just regularly stand without any licenses and fees. trading place... Most often they are grandmothers: they sell clothes, seeds, flowers, honey ... Give preference to such places, people in this area have already developed the habit of “buying here”.

Determine how much money you are willing to invest in this business.

Select at least 10 flower shops, call them, and find out at what price they are ready to give you flowers if you immediately take a batch from them for the amount of money available to you. Here it is worth being impudent, asking to throw off even more. Even if they refuse to fold more, they certainly won't change their minds about selling at the regular price. Remember, they are actually very motivated to sell as much as possible.

Then you need to find a small table that will serve as your counter. On day X we go to the designated place. From lunchtime to sunset, there will be practical sales training.

The average retail price of a bouquet of flowers in Moscow is 500-1000 rubles. Let's say you manage to sell 10 bouquets with an extra charge of 100 rubles. Then your income per day will be 10,000 rubles. How much do you earn per day now?

You can devote to your plans friends who are also interested in the topic "your business".

Together you can buy more flowers, which means you get a big discount from the supplier. The money earned can go to other business projects.

The special charm of this real business idea is that one person will definitely be happy that day, it is a win-win. Either you will be satisfied with calculating the profit, or in the evening fill up your soul mate with not sold goods!

Yulia Korniychuk

Hi people! Asked to tell you how to make millions? I am ripe for the transfer of experience. Understand what it takes for a flower business and get started!

How the flower trade business developed

The hottest trade in fresh flowers occurs at the beginning of spring. We prepared for this in advance: I borrowed 100 thousand rubles on the security of a car, and my partner invested about 200 thousand. To implement the idea to sell tulips in bulk by March 8, I had to attract investors in the person of friends and relatives.

Part of the goods was sold by us in large quantities, the rest of the flowers were kept for resale.

Why tulips and not roses? Two factors were decisive:

1. Rose is a year-round flower, more expensive and capricious. Tulips are associated with spring.
2. The partner has greenhouses near Novosibirsk, where his mother grows up to 100,000 tulips.

Where to look for suppliers of fresh flowers

Finding suppliers can be time consuming. Among the hundreds of outbids on the Internet, you need to find those who will lead directly to the greenhouses. It was easier for us because the partner's mother had a greenhouse, but the number of flowers growing there was not enough. For the flower business to become as profitable as possible by March 8, you need a lot of tulips.

Try to negotiate an installment plan with your supplier. We did the following:

1. We entered into an agreement with investors, and they gave us money to buy flowers.
2. We agreed with the owners of greenhouses about the minimum price and so that it would not suddenly rise before the final calculation.
3. Made 50% prepayment.
4. We paid for the rest after the shipment and sale of part of the goods.

We have been working with our suppliers for several years, no overlaps have happened since the beginning of cooperation.

How the product is sold

We buy the first batch every year on February 12. Valentine's Day is also captured. Take this decisive note of how to make money on flowers on February 14th.

We advertise on Avito, Yulia and similar free message boards on the Internet. Ours works well. The people do not see nouns, but an active Internet community, therefore they are loyal and willingly order flowers.

I will also share with a noble fail. We created a website, and incoming orders for tulips were sent to spam. We found out about this on the eve of International Women's Day. How much money was lost ... Advice: trust the professionals to set up and launch the site.

As a result, ⅔ of customers came from ad platforms, and the rest came from a group in VK.

Sold from cars at retail. We put our own cars in a walk-through place where it is convenient to park. Crossroads were usually chosen. From a permanent location in a residential area, the partner was able to sell up to 2,500 tulips.

What varieties of tulips are best for sale

To reduce the risk of burnout, we take 4-5 flower varieties. The bulk of our clients sell tulips from cars, there is no time for assortment. Therefore, we take what is in the warehouse from the supplier. Here is the answer to the question, which flowers are selling better on March 8.

Over 50% of the lot was a red tulip, the rest of the flowers were of a different color. The extra-class variety is 40-70 cm long, and the bud is 3 to 6 cm long. In order not to be left with one variety of tulips, during resale, they tried to give 500 red flowers for every 1000.

Potential risks of sellers when trading flowers

No business can do without risk and selling flowers is no exception. What we had to face:

• one client did not like the flowers he bought from us in the amount of 10 thousand pieces, and he returned them back. They gave the money, but did not remain in the loser, having resold it with a fat of 80 thousand rubles;
• the supplier did not have white tulips. The flowers did not have time to ripen, and there were many who wanted to buy them. I had to pick up in a nearby town.

Our friends, who also sell flowers in bulk, did not manage to sell about 5,000 tulips during the holidays. They managed to sell part of the leftovers in flower shops, and the rest dispersed after the holiday. People bought as a gift to their bosses and just wanting to make something nice for their loved ones.

Do I need a trade permit from the city administration

I will say right away that we did not apply for permission to sell flowers. To prevent the police from guessing, it is better not to mark the cars with price tags. Our girls walked around with posters, and tulips stood on the roof in boxes. Only a test purchase can reveal such a scheme.

For the entire time of trading, they received a fine only once, and that one for parking in the wrong place. Why did it happen? If you are fined for illegal trade, the goods must be confiscated. It will not be possible to save perishable flowers, and they do not want to get involved with this. Although now they have taken up entrepreneurs seriously. can and get to the bottom.

Additional channels for selling tulips

Until now, it has been possible to do with wholesale and direct sales. But considering flowers for March 8th as a business, it is better to try more channels. We did not have enough time for the delivery of tulips, and applications were received regularly. We will decide something.

You can get a good margin by calling companies where many women work - beauty salons, fitness clubs, and the like.

They were not delivered to other cities. but clients came from there themselves and bought flowers from us.

Future plans based on this year's sales

We will look for more suppliers and attract additional investors. The purchased flowers ended on the evening of March 7, at the same time unprocessed applications were found in spam on the site. They could have made 200-300 thousand more, but there was no time to search for new tulips.

IN next year we negotiate with suppliers from Moscow, there is a flower of good quality and cheaper than anywhere else. I have moved to the capital and am trying to break through the local channels for buying and selling flowers. Then the tulips will travel in two directions - Yakutia and Novosibirsk.

We were given, perhaps, the best place for trade that an entrepreneur can desire: right at the central entrance to the Greenwich shopping center. Especially for our flower shop on wheels administration shopping center kindly allocated a parking space and, in general, at her own peril and risk, coordinated this operation. Between ourselves, by the way, we gave it the code name "Green Tulip".

Personally, I don't like tulips. And in general, I'm afraid of them. After all, it was in the tulip that Thumbelina was born. Well, and on top of that, flowers are a perishable commodity. We had little time. The flowers had to be packed vigorously. Freezing them is one of the main risks in winter for this business. Then only in the trash. Among other things, I had to create a kind of signboard in a short time. I tried very hard to paint the way true street vendors do.

The product was ready and carefully heated from the salon. Outdoor advertising mounted, the price is determined - 66 rubles. I mentally set aside an hour and ten minutes on the dial. Go. The first clients appeared in 8 minutes. Judging by my observations, they were the owners of one of retail outlets Greenwich. They were in a hurry. One of the young people asked: "How much do they usually give?" As an expert florist with great experience, I said that 3, 5, 7, 9 or 11. And more is better. "Let's nine." There are 594 rubles in my pocket.

By the way, it should be noted that we were engaged in the implementation legally. We had checks and stamps. Most of our flower colleagues, who also spontaneously sell from cars, are not friends with the law and on the hot March days they trade at a risk for their pocket and even freedom. Have you ever asked florists for a check or permits?

Valeria Dostovalova, expert of the service "Accounting. Contour":

Entrepreneurs selling tulips from the trunk face fines under the Administrative Code, there are three relevant articles. The procedure is something like this: the loser trader will be taken to the police station, where they will draw up a protocol on administrative offense... Then they will be released, and the case will be handed over to the magistrate, after which in a month and a half they will be summoned to court, where the court will appoint a fine. When we receive payment for flowers, it is personal income tax. And there is responsibility under the Criminal Code for tax evasion under Article 198. It is punished with a fine in the amount of one hundred thousand to three hundred thousand rubles or arrest for a term of four to six months, or imprisonment for a term of up to one year.

Time is running out, and "beautiful, fresh tulips from Holland" continue to remain in our trunk for the most part. The last twenty minutes has gone. I begin to shout loudly: “Tulips-tulips. We'll see. Let's buy. Guys, let's buy tulips. " The situation changes radically when a woman in a faux fur coat appears on the horizon. She wonders what the price will be if you take the whole balance. This is already wholesale, guys. There are 55 tulips in the car. I propose to buy everything at 50. Then I start dumping and give it back at 45 rubles apiece. She said that she would think about it and return, but disappeared towards the stop.

Time is over. I get the money. In 67 minutes, photographer Igor and I earned 914 rubles. Let me remind you that we bought all this stuff for 2,310 rubles. We did not fulfill the task. Unless they froze well at exactly the sixty-sixth minute. The summary of the hour looked like this. We received 914 rubles by selling 16 tulips in just over an hour. In the city center, on a pre-holiday day. In Greenwich and in the Arboretum across the street, the same tulips were sold for 50 rubles apiece.

But this was not the end. We have 50 tulips left.

In summary, we can say this. Flower business March 6, 7, 8 and even 9 is, perhaps, a gold mine. Large wholesalers buy not at 35 rubles per branch, as we do, but at 25, 20 or even cheaper. Sell \u200b\u200bat 50. This is at least 100% profit. To beat off the costs of the “purchase”, earn 25,000 rubles, you need to sell from 800 to 1,000 tulips. Whether it is difficult or simple, everyone decides for himself. However, I have learned a few simple things. Be legal to avoid sanctions. Don't get cold. Don't overcharge. Don't buy more than you can sell. Flowers are not furniture - they will deteriorate quickly. Don't be fooled by an imaginary gold mine. Each business has its own troubles and difficulties. And, finally, if in doubt, it's better to just give.

Spring, first of all, is associated with us not only with the awakening of nature, but also with International Women's Day - March 8... If you remember history, then this day has become a symbol of the independence and freedom of women. And where, if not in business, can a woman become independent and free? the site offers to get acquainted with interesting business ideas for real and free women!

Our opinion is that a woman in business achieves great success, regardless of occupation and field of activity. This is facilitated by good sense these words, female stubbornness and perseverance. Women always reach their goals! And they reach much faster if they are not disturbed. Yes, even if you interfere, it turns out a little slower, but much brighter, in spite of Yulka from the next entrance. I would like, frankly, to look at this "daredevil" who dared to stand between a woman and her goal.

The woman shows her the best qualities - Purposefulness, leadership, patience, discretion - not only in business, but also in everyday life. Think for yourself, for example, who will agree to endure a rather long and painful epilation procedure? And, most importantly, for what?

And women can. They can do anything! Including, and start successful business... They would be interesting. And if they do not have it, then they will definitely find it, for example, with us!
