Anything that makes our life easier. Increasing confectionery sales

We have repeatedly touched on business ideas in the field of confectionery, and today we will talk about another one. Why are they so popular? Almost everyone loves sweets, and tea without candy or gingerbread is not the same. It is the high demand that allows entrepreneurs to earn decently on the sale of sweet products. In today's article, we will talk about how to open a candy business in your city and look at the main pitfalls of this niche.

Business Format

Retail sweets can be realized in three main ways. Which one to choose is up to you, we will give our recommendations, but you will already act on your own, especially if the budget allows.

1. This is a candy trade in the market with a wide selection of goods. The most promising topic for beginners, and investments in the business will recoup much faster, plus, the initial capital can be much lower, since you will not have to pay huge amounts for renting the premises. In the market, you rent a kiosk, a tent, or a counter in a pavilion, and for a small amount you will pay for the rent of this place.

2. This is a rental of a full-fledged store in which you can place the entire assortment and produce the stylistic design you need. This business option is already more expensive and there are already certain requirements for the store where you trade. Firstly, these are permissions, we will talk about them below, and secondly, this is the size of the room, it is desirable that it be from 15 sq.m. Since you have to place on the shelves great amount candy crates, then it will be inconvenient for you to work in a smaller room. Another unspoken requirement is the favorable location of the outlet. It should be a passable place, as an option a large shopping center or a room near the market. It will depend on this factor whether your trade will go or not.

3. Candy street vendor. This is the format of a kiosk in the malls near the metro or other stops public transport. Storefronts and signs are placed outside. The place should be accessible, especially near universities in big cities.

All formats of this business work successfully, you can choose one of them and start your own business.

Trade equipment

It is quite convenient to trade sweets, since from the equipment you will need racks, often wooden or glass. Next, several counters with a glass showcase, a cash register, and, of course, scales. This is the main thing you need to open a store.

From additional devices: bags (paper and polyethylene), gift wrapping, disposable gloves.

Also, do not forget about the organization of the workplace for the seller.

Candy trade rules

To open a candy store + from scratch, you will need to complete all permits and documents.

Required documents:

• you must be registered as an individual entrepreneur;
• specify OKVED for candy trade. For Russia - 52.24.2 - Retail sale of confectionery and 52.24.22 - Retail sale of sugary confectionery products, including chocolate. For Ukraine - 46.36 Wholesale trade in sugar, chocolate and confectionery.
• obtain permission from the SES and the fire inspectorate.
• have on hand all certificates for the quality of products sold in your store.
• arrange a corner of the buyer.

Product range and suppliers

Before opening a candy and cookie store, you will need to analyze the assortment and create a complete price list for the products you plan to sell, after which you can search for suppliers. Here is the main list of products that are sold in such outlets.

In fact, the assortment of the candy store is very extensive and, if desired, it can be constantly expanded with additional product positions, including various pastries.

Now let's talk about where it is profitable to buy sweets for trade. First, these are wholesale markets. There, as a rule, you will find a wide range of products from various manufacturers. If you work with wholesalers, you can get good discounts on goods. Secondly, these are sales representatives of confectionery companies who bring products directly to your store. Often they also offer good prices, but the bottom line is that they represent a single manufacturing company. You can combine these two methods and work out the perfect format for your business.

How much money do you need to invest at the start?

Start small and then expand your business. If you answer the question - is it expensive to open small shop+ with sweets? It can be said that even with minimal capital, you can start.

In this material:

A business plan for a candy store is a clear, well-thought-out and well-written document that calculates expenses and incomes, takes into account risks and provides for business development in case of force majeure.

According to statistics, the most common present is sweets. Previously, a chocolate bar opened the doors of reception rooms and helped to thank the doctor, hairdresser, and educator. Today, you can find the most unusual desserts on sale - personalized chocolate, sweets with different flavors (almost like Betty Botts dragees), chocolate and marmalade figurines, cakes, cookies. The candy store is a tasty and profitable business that certainly has the right to exist.

The relevance of the business of selling sweets and sweets

There can be no tea drinking without sweets, they don’t go to visit without them, sweets are not only sweet, but also a cure for mental anguish. Despite the constant moaning about the lack of money, compatriots love and know how to relax, so the demand for sweet goods is guaranteed. The country is eating off for decades of shortages, buyers in the store are guaranteed to be not only on the eve of the holidays.

The candy trade has many undeniable advantages: the goods do not deteriorate for a long time (shelf life is up to 12 months), refrigerators or freezers are not needed, a large room is not needed for a store, which means that the rent will be minimal.

What are the best candies to sell?

When planning a business, you can follow one of the beaten paths:

1. Find an opportunity to buy very cheap sweets and sell them not very expensive. The price becomes a trade-forming factor; there will always be buyers for a cheap product, not even of the highest quality. The main disadvantage is the suppliers.
2. Conclude agreements with various suppliers and purchase sweets in small quantities, but in a wide range.
3. If quality becomes the main factor, then the contract is concluded with a specific manufacturer whose reputation is beyond doubt. In this case, the easiest way to work on a franchise. The manufacturer's price will be significantly lower than for other individual entrepreneurs, you can save on advertising, and if the plant is located nearby (or there is a sales office in the city), then there is no need for a warehouse.

Market, competition and risk analysis

To assess the prospects of opening and operating a candy store, you should find out:

• how many "native" suppliers (manufacturers) are in close proximity and are ready to cooperate;
• how many shops and shops of sweets work in the village;
• what is the range of goods;
• what sweets are most in demand among buyers;
• How can you attract, surprise customers.

Business includes certain risks, but if you approach everything wisely, then they can be minimized:

• bad store location
• purchase of low-quality, unclaimed goods;
• increase in the cost of products in the purchase;
• damage to goods.

The prevention of any type of risk will be discussed below.

How to open a candy store from scratch

Registration of the type of activity, documents

To open a candy store, it is enough to register an IP. You will need:

• application to the tax office for the assignment of a TIN;
• an application to the local municipality for registration of an individual entrepreneur;
• copy of the passport;
• receipt for payment of state duty.

UTII is preferred as a taxation system.

OKVED codes:

• 52.24.22 - retail sale of sugary confectionery products, including chocolate;
• 52.11 - retail trade in non-specialized stores, mainly food products, including drinks, and tobacco products.

Important! The presence of a terminal for paying by card will significantly increase the influx of customers.

Premises search and location requirements

A confectionery shop does not need a large area, 20 m 2 will be enough.

The room must meet sanitary and hygienic standards, have connected communications - electricity, ventilation, be equipped with an alarm system and an emergency fire extinguishing system.

Regarding the location - it is important:

• high traffic (market, shopping center, train station, public transport stops, recreation parks, sleeping areas);
• a minimum of competitors in the immediate vicinity (practice shows that a suitable assortment and a friendly attitude towards customers can even compensate for the presence of direct competitors).

Search for suppliers of sweets

Working directly with the manufacturer reduces the cost of paying for third-party services and allows you to control the quality and not doubt the timing. If the manufacturing plant is located nearby, then questions about the purchase of goods are removed automatically.

The situation is even simpler in the case of acquiring a franchise: delivery is free of charge, at the lowest prices and within the stated time on the first request.

A large manufacturer will offer a wide range of sweets and other sweets, in this case it is very rare to have to look for alternatives.

It should be remembered that when buying a franchise, the owner regulates pricing by setting a minimum.

Formation of the product range

The formation of the assortment must be approached with all responsibility. It is optimal to purchase sweets in different price segments, offering customers several types at approximately the same price.

In order not to waste time and make the task easier for clients, it is worth spending some time and a certain amount to make trading visual. For each type of sweets, you need to take 3 photos: in a wrapper, without a wrapper and in a section; order or independently make small plates with a photo and a description of the composition of sweets. Thus, buyers will be able to navigate on their own and will not waste the seller’s time, create a queue and slow down the process.

The assortment should include sweets from the most accessible, cheap, to elite, about 200-250 items.

Purchase of commercial equipment

To open a store, a minimum of equipment is required - racks or shelves, glass showcases to place goods on display for customers. It is important to lay out the entire assortment on the shelves. What configuration and size the racks will be depends on the desire / imagination of the owner, as well as the size of the room.

Tip: order equipment by individual project in a reliable company, clearly stipulate in the contract the terms of production and options for compensation for losses in case of violation of the contract. This option may cost more, but it will be exactly what you need.

Staff

At first, it is strongly recommended to conduct business on your own. It is permissible to involve close (very interested) relatives, but no more. The image of the store depends on the relationship of the seller to the buyers (not a single employee can work like the one who invested his own money), you can control costs and income only with direct participation. The only hired worker possible at this stage is a cleaner who comes for several hours, for example, and even then, if the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe store is really large.

Opening a store will take all the time and effort, pushing into the background all other affairs and concerns, but the end justifies the means.

Advertising campaign

1. Buying a franchise removes all questions from the very beginning: the owners provide a brand book with clearly defined requirements, it remains only to find worthy performers.
2. Self-promotion at the initial stage requires the manufacture of a sign, a plate with an operating mode and a stand for buyers.

If you wish and have money, you can order leaflets at the printing house (spread them according to mailboxes nearby houses), arrange a tasting and treat passers-by, attracting them to the store.

It is worth talking about your business in city groups social networks, you can start the video on the radio or on TV, advertise on the light screen.

How to open a candy store? What are the key nuances to keep in mind for aspiring entrepreneurs? What determines the profitability of the outlet and business prospects?

Sweet shop: nuances

How to open a store selling sweet products? By and large, this procedure is no different from the process of starting any other type of business in the field of food retail. The only one important nuance- storage conditions of goods.

Some types of sweets (chocolate or, for example, jam) may require the purchase of special types of refrigerators. Therefore, the business plan of a candy store in some cases should include an expense item for the purchase of special types of equipment for food storage.

People buy sweets, cakes and cookies to treat themselves or to create a positive atmosphere at the table at home. Therefore, a store that sells sweets should be in the spirit of positive emotions.

The effect can be achieved, for example, through a bright, positive interior with original drawings. Buying goodies at a point of sale that knows how to inspire a good mood, buyers remember such places well and come back here with joy.

Location Factor

It is very important to correctly locate the candy store. The business plan of this establishment should include a small analytical report on the area where the outlet will be located. Some marketers believe that a candy store is best opened near markets, amusement parks, shopping or entertainment centers. As an alternative - accommodation in an area built up with high-rise buildings of the "sleeping" type. In general, you need to open a store where there is a lot of customer traffic.

However, in addition to this rule, which is typical for most types of business, there is another factor that stands apart, and it is specific to the sale of sweets: the target audience of buyers must live in the area where the outlet is located. It is unlikely that high sales of cookies and sweets will be observed in the industrial districts of the city. In turn, areas where there are many schools, nightclubs, kindergartens are optimal for such a business.

scale factor

The business plan for a candy store will include such a parameter as the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe store. There are several marketing strategies regarding it. Firstly, you can open a retail outlet of a small area and incur minimal costs for its maintenance.

In this case, the profit will be relatively small due to small sales volumes. Secondly, you can open a store with large resources in terms of area, with a varied assortment, and get a lot of revenue, however, the costs of maintaining such an outlet will be high.

The entrepreneur, therefore, will have to look for a "golden mean": either he has a large profit at rather big costs, or he has a modest profit at minimal costs. It is necessary to look at what the net “profit” will be in both cases and, based on this, select the optimal strategy. Some marketers believe that choosing the format of doing business on a large scale, that is, choosing option number two, is more likely to withstand the competition.

Recipes from the East

In some cases, a candy store may contain its own production of goods sold. In one of the rooms in this case there is a full-fledged confectionery shop. AT last years sweets of oriental origin are becoming popular in Russia. Take, for example, Turkish delight: this Turkic dish does not require scarce ingredients, and at the same time, many gourmets like it.

The production of most types of oriental sweets is a fairly simple process, since in the countries of origin of these dishes, recipes have existed for several centuries and have not changed with the advent of any technology.

Accordingly, you can cook them almost at home (and this is especially good for those entrepreneurs who have chosen strategy number one - work with a modest scale of the outlet). To prepare the same Turkish Delight, all you need is water, starch, sugar, as well as something for taste (jam, syrup or freshly squeezed juice), as an addition - nuts.

Starting a business

Having drawn up a business plan for a candy store, the entrepreneur proceeds to the stage of its practical implementation. There are several key points. First, it is the relationship with product suppliers. It is necessary to analyze how rational it will be for the business to choose a particular candy or confectionery factory.

Secondly, it is the inflationary component in relation to expenditures. We need to make sure that, say, the increase in rental prices either does not happen at all, or goes at a predictable pace. The same is true for staff salaries. In Russia, the level of remuneration of employees in the retail segment (in the same way as in the field of baking, confectionery) has not yet reached its ceiling, and it will inevitably increase over the course of several years.

Thirdly, it is necessary to optimize the process of reporting to the tax authorities and other government agencies so that paperwork does not interfere with the core business and does not take time. A business plan for a candy store often does not include these three factors, and the entrepreneur has to learn the nuances of work in the course of practice.

Before starting to think about equipping a candy store with products, every businessman has to visit government agencies that will give permission to open.

First you need to register with the tax authorities as an individual entrepreneur. To do this, you will need: an application in the form P21001, a check for payment of state duty, a copy of your passport.

Next, you will have to go to the sanitary and epidemiological service. In order for the SES to allow you to open a sweets shop, you will have to provide your products for tasting and prepare Required documents, where they will be described: the composition of the product, its origin, name. After the sanitary and epidemiological service makes its verdict, the future owner of the candy store will be awarded a certificate printed on blue paper that he is allowed to trade in the presented products.

Before you open a store, you need to recruit staff. Each entrepreneur can invite anyone to work, but the main thing is that this person has a sanitary book. In this case, too, there is a need for paperwork. To do everything according to the rules, you should send the employee for a medical examination. At whose expense it will be held - negotiated individually.

Back to index

Step two: strategizing

In order for the candy store to become popular, you will have to draw up a business plan. First you need to calculate the amount Money. The cost of premises for a candy store usually ranges from 10,000 to 50,000 per month. This number varies by region. If the business involves trading in perishable products, then it is worth buying refrigerators, otherwise the store will incur losses. The cost of equipment is quite high and reaches 300 thousand rubles (for a large city).

Also, the future store must have a starting number of products. Of course, you should not include in the business plan a large number of items of goods, but their number must be at least 75. This list should include sweets such as:

• cakes - 10 types;
• cakes - 15 types;
• sweets - 25 types;
• cookies - 15 types;
• chocolate - 10 types.

This list is approximate, the store's stock should be replenished.

The business plan should include a way to attract customers. If you fill a candy store with an assortment that is already in other departments, then the business will burn out. Each entrepreneur needs to find a single product that will be located only in his outlet. For example, it can be chocolate from England or special, natural sugar-free caramel.

The business plan should contain the most important point - the expected profit and profitability. The main task any businessman is to obtain monetary gain. If an entrepreneur decides to open a candy store, then sales will only grow. In the 21st century, no person can live without sugar. Many compare sweets with vodka, and its sale, as you know, brings in a huge amount of money.

Having decided to open a business, and not knowing which field of activity to choose. It is worth considering the option of a confectionery pavilion. After all, the idea of ​​​​how to open your own candy store from scratch is a good option. Trade in sweets is a profitable business. This product is in constant demand.
