The most cost-effective thing is to open a convenience store near the community.

2. When you choose a good location, you must talk to the landlord about the rent.

Some sign once a year, and some sign once every three years. Some rents remain unchanged, while others increase year by year. For the deposit, some pay one get one free, some pay three get one free. These contents are clearly written in the contract. Also asked, is it possible to open a new supermarket nearby? Will it be demolished nearby? Business districts will be developed nearby and so on. Because these will lead to changes in the number of residents nearby.

3. How to decorate the storefront?

If you look for chain brands, they will provide professional decoration services. Judging from your personal experience, it is of little significance to find a decoration company, because the cost is similar, and you still don't understand. For example: how to make the door attractive? How to place shelves reasonably? What is the theme of the store to attract customers and how to design the flow of people? These details will affect your business. You'd better find a chain brand and ask them to help you design and decorate. They have more decoration shops, and the price of purchasing hardware is much cheaper than finding it by themselves.

It's best to go to other convenience stores and get a general idea of what they sell. What products sell well. You can contact the supplier or put up an advertisement and put up a banner in the store (the store is being renovated, so please look forward to it), which can not only recruit people, but also let the channel personnel of the supplier see it, and naturally contact you at home and compare more. Also ask them what details they have, such as after-sales and product return. You want to settle accounts, you say it yourself. You can settle accounts monthly or quarterly, or you can settle accounts in cash. You can choose.

(2) The term "license" refers to the business license, food circulation license, tobacco monopoly license and tax registration certificate. In some areas, you will be required to apply for liquor agency license and salt sales license.

5. How to place the shelves? In fact, it is placed according to product classification.

Here are a few points to note: attraction-the products on the shelves should not be empty, but should be fully placed to highlight the momentum. Convenience-some product categories have higher sales volume, and are placed in a position where customers can easily get them, and the classification is clear. Customers look for big categories first, and then find small categories. Don't be confused. Price-when doing promotional activities, the promotional information should be prominent, the price tag should be clear, and the POP advertisement should be near the product, so that you can get the product immediately when you see the advertisement.

6. Publicity and opening up

Prepare for trial operation first, and adjust it continuously during the period. Adjust what? Adjust the product to see whether it sells fast or not, and see whether the goods are placed reasonably to facilitate customers to pick up the goods. It is necessary to do some promotional activities such as discounts on goods, buy one for one, and send eggs and drinks. Leaflets should be distributed in nearby communities. Play music, make arches, flower baskets and have entertainment activities on the opening day.
