How to open a seed store

If you decide to open your own seed store, then sooner or later you may run into a specific problem. As you know, seeds are a seasonal commodity. Therefore, a great demand for it exists in the spring-summer period, and in the rest of the year there is a significant decrease in demand.

Instruction manual

1

Opening your own business, for starters you need to have seed capital. If it is not, then take a loan from the bank. Before that, calculate all the expenses that you have to incur.

2

Find the right room for your seed store. A lot of expenses will be spent on the equipment of the store - the purchase of a shop window, racks, cash register. Also do not forget about the repair and design of the room.

If you want to be the owner of a business with a stable income, then you need a certain solution that will be profitable regardless of the season. For example, expand the range of products that are offered in your store. Do this at the expense of seeds close to the product groups. A great solution will be the sale of seeds of exotic plants and all related products for growing potted indoor flowers. If in the spring the shelves of your store will be filled mainly with goods for summer residents - various seeds, fertilizers, products from various insects, then after the summer season they will be seeds and bulbs of indoor flowers, as well as fertilizers for them. Focus on exotic colors. There are still very few such offers on the market, so this will be the highlight of your store.

4

Do not forget about the advertising and promotion of your store. A beautiful original sign, small billboards with advertisements, distribution of advertisements at the metro, discount programs that offer a cumulative discount - all this has a good effect on sales. A well-made website on the Internet with colorful photographs of flowers and vegetables that will grow in the future from seeds sold in your store can also help promote your store.

5

Expand the assortment of your store by introducing small garden tools and products for amateur gardeners into it. The approximate payback period of the project is 1 year. With proper organization and careful planning, the project can bring you considerable profit.
