What you can trade in a stall in winter

One of the simplest types of individual entrepreneurship, which allows you to organize a profitable business without any special costs, is retail trade in a tray or at a kiosk. However, it is necessary to take into account the pronounced seasonality of the Russian climate and adapt the range to it.

How to choose the right assortment?

A small kiosk located in a good place is able to bring its owner up to two or three thousand dollars of net profit per month with the right selection of assortment. If we are not talking about stalls specializing in something specific, for example, baking, vegetables and fruits, dairy products, fast food, but about the usual kiosks with a popular grocery set, then the popularity of certain goods will vary at different times of the year. On the other hand, some positions are in steady demand throughout the year. So, cigarettes, juices, cookies, snacks, chewing gum are always popular. But chilled products, that is, carbonated soft drinks, beer and ice cream in the winter will obviously not be the most popular and relevant goods, so their presence on the windows in the cold season is better to limit. When planning bulk purchases, temporarily abandon those positions that are unlikely to be implemented quickly enough. Since the kiosk’s profit is directly related to the turnover of goods, your task is to find those goods for which the demand in winter not only does not decline, but, on the contrary, increases.

An acceptable assortment for a regular stall is considered to be a set of 500-600 items, since a larger number is difficult to place on a display case.
