Instruction manual

1

Before starting a business in the countryside and opening your own store, you need to determine the target group of products that will be popular and will attract customers to you. Naturally, such goods in the countryside are products (bread and sausages, dairy products, cereals, vegetables and fruits, cigarettes and alcoholic beverages). Therefore, you need to open a grocery store.

2

Identify those products that should always be on sale. To do this, plan stocks so that popular products are on sale daily, and build relationships with product suppliers correctly. It is this factor that will provide you with the respect of customers.

3

Keep in mind that the assortment of rural stores is always diverse, i.e. includes everything you need. Do not try to buy several varieties, for example, the same cookie, as you cannot sell most of the goods. Conduct a survey among your customers about what products they want to see in the store.

4

Recognizable brands of goods that are popular in the city, sometimes may not be popular with the villagers. As a rule, people come to the store for a specific product, not knowing its brand and manufacturers. Therefore, an experienced seller will be able to assist customers and help them choose the right product.

5

Divide the goods in your store into the appropriate categories: bakery products, dairy products, meat, sausages, fish, sweets, etc.

6

The seller in your store should be a sociable and conflict-free person who can find a common language with completely different people. Many villagers perceive the seller as their friend, and the store is a place where you can chat with fellow villagers. It would be nice if you could stand at the counter yourself to meet potential customers during the first months of your outlet, and the villagers recognize you.

7

A big plus of the store in the village will be that renting a room in the village will not cost you very much.

8

Opening a grocery store in the countryside is the key to your success, but keep in mind that depending on the population, development of priority sectors of livestock and crop production, profitable business areas are: farming, beekeeping, production of frozen vegetables and fruits, flour production, greenhouse business, poultry farming, strawberry cultivation, etc.
