How does a tobacco and alcohol supermarket make money? (Do cigarette hotels make more money or supermarkets make more money?)

Many people may have this question. There are so many cigarette shops on the street and there are almost no customers. How do they make a profit?

First of all, we need to know that we see that tobacco, wine and tea shops have almost no customers. That is because they hardly rely on retail sales. Few people want to drink a bottle of wine and run to the store to buy it. The nature of cigarettes and wine is for more gifts and banquets. Take wedding banquets for example. Nowadays, people are very rich. When getting married, they will set up dozens of tables for guests. How can there be no cigarettes and alcohol on the table, and the quality of cigarettes and alcohol cannot be too low. More and more people are getting married every year, so the hotel always receives big orders for wedding banquets.

Generally speaking, tobacco stores will have their own fixed companies and customers. Purchasing benefits during the holidays is a big order. This group buying model is basically the main fund to support store operations. Of course, such big customers don't just hang out in the store. With just a phone call, the owner of the cigarette shop knows where to send things. There is also holiday consumption. During festivals such as the Spring Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival every year, the sales of tobacco, alcohol and tea can reach more than 60% of the whole year. Many people use the festival to give gifts of wine and cigarettes to their leaders, friends, and elders.

Furthermore, the profit margins of tobacco and alcohol products are very large. For example, a pack of cigarettes sells for 25 yuan, and its cost is only about 10 yuan. With so many smokers in China, the market space is huge, and Many customers have the habit of making repeated purchases. I sell more than a dozen packs of cigarettes a day, which is enough to pay the rent and electricity bill.

Secondly, opening a smoking hotel is not a simple matter. I believe many people also have various problems. It is undeniable that cigarette hotels are developing rapidly in China. They seem to be found everywhere in the past few years, which has also put great pressure on competition in this industry. The focus is more obviously on vaping hotels. After all, everyone wants to make profits in this industry. The location of tobacco and alcohol stores is particularly important. It is best to be close to the intersection of the community, a place with a large flow of people, and sell some drinks and snacks to maintain daily expenses.

If you have any questions, please give me some advice!

If you hold a tobacco sales license issued by the Tobacco Bureau, the retail profit from the cigarettes delivered by the Tobacco Bureau is about 20%-30%, and the profit from purchasing the goods at a tobacco wholesale point is 10%-20%. The profit margin of wine is relatively high. The gross profit of small bottles of Langjiu is about 40%. If you want to sell famous wines, it is easy to sell large quantities. Old drunkards like to drink Laobaigan and Fenggu for the first time. Those with a little money drink Wuliangchun, Luzhou Laojiao, Sheshe, Jiannanchun, etc. Old brands that give gifts include Luzhou Laojiao, Luzhou Chun, Jiannanchun, Wuliangye, Maotai, etc. Young people like Waizuilang, Qinghualang, Jiangxiaobai, Jinjiu, beer, etc. The gross profit margin of these wines is around 30%-40%. Profits are still possible. Just trying to figure out how to measure. Method one:

Cooperate with the reception offices of enterprises and institutions in various countries. They have to receive important guests every day and consume tobacco, wine and tea; Method two:

Government industry associations, old associations, etc., at the end of each year Want to have dinner. Especially for the Laos Association, there are tens of thousands of people in one branch, and 1,000-2,000 tables are seated in batches for dinners. Method three:

Cooperate with the marriage association to promote wedding cigarettes and wine, and share the profits with them if possible. In this way, the more profits you make, the greater the total amount will be.

Supermarket profits rely on price differences. Buying is cheap but selling is expensive!

Purchase in large quantities to keep the price down, and at the same time, sell according to the market price and earn the price difference!

The most important thing is traffic! Fast turnover of goods is the key to making money!

First of all, the way to get the goods must be cheap enough, and it must be authentic. Generally, it is more profitable to sell it to those who give gifts. As long as your packaging is grand enough, many people don’t care about the price. If you want to smoke, you should keep it. Old customers, there are very few smokers born in the 90s and 00s, and wine is generally sold at three times the cost price

As long as cigarettes are operating normally, the most important thing is wine. It is necessary to establish correct brand awareness and correct positioning. We should focus on wine for wedding banquets and wine for entertaining guests and giving gifts. Join hands with manufacturers to expand the market.
