What products sell well in the fall. Business ideas for the fall: profitable areas with minimal investment

There are several options for doing business in the fall, which are the most profitable and worthy.

To open your own business in the autumn period of the year, the most suitable:

1. Renting out apartments (rooms). There is a time that housing is rented regardless of the season, but this is not entirely true. It is at the beginning of the school year that renting is especially popular. Students and applicants who do not regret living in dormitories are the main clients. And it is not necessary to rent the entire apartment, the rooms are in special demand. The business idea is suitable for residents of cities where there are many educational institutions for single people, or people who own large apartments and houses. By the way, the owners of private houses in this way can also attract au pairs.

In order for the business to bring additional profit, it is advisable for the entrepreneur to prepare for the beginning of the school year in advance. Also, you don't have to rent your own apartment. Mediation is the best. Pick a few different apartments, the location of which is as close as possible to educational institutions. The income will be the percentage for the service, which you can install yourself (4-6%).

2. Autumn business idea for the southern regions. The sale (collection) of walnuts is another profitable occupation during the Indian summer. This type of business requires a minimum investment. There is no need to create, plant and build something on your own. Looking around the surroundings outside the city (landings, abandoned houses and villages), you can find a large number of wild walnut trees that no one needs.

By collecting it yourself, you can save on hiring employees. It would be logical to connect friends and relatives for a fee. This will contribute to the prompt and coordinated collection of fruits. Peeling nuts is a more complex and time-consuming process. It is worth noting that for the refined product you can get almost five times more than for the simple delivery of only nuts in the shell. You can also clean food with the help of friends. Implementation does not take much effort and complexity. To hand over the nuts to the store, to sell through the Internet resource or on the market - everyone has the right to choose the most preferred option.

3. Collection and sale of mushrooms is the easiest and lowest cost option. In the season of rains and moisture, this product is consistently in excess. The main condition is impeccable orientation and knowledge. You can not go for mushrooms without understanding them!

4. Create and sell handmade goods using acorns, cones, leaves and more is a business that requires effort and creativity. Basically, this option is preferred by the fairer sex. With the help of free products, you can create real works of art. Ideas for implementation can be found in souvenir shops, at master classes on the Internet. After creating the product, it remains only to implement it. You can do this through the Internet or gift shops.

5. Firewood harvesting is also considered a popular business. To implement this idea, you must have permission for a ruble of firewood, a truck and a chainsaw.

6. Sale of school supplies is optimal for the autumn business. This option requires investment for renting premises (points in the market, fairs, etc.), purchasing clothes, stationery and other goods. Despite the impressive amount of initial investment, there is no doubt about a decent profit.

7. It is in autumn that the collection of fallen leaves is a very popular service. Cleaning in areas of private houses requires a broom, a shovel, a special vacuum cleaner that collects leaves. You can make yourself known and find customers by advertising on websites, in newspapers, and so on.

8. The sale of fertilizers is closely related to the previous way of earning. Collected leaves do not have to be disposed of. They can be processed, packaged and sold as fertilizers. Agricultural enterprises are the main customers in need of this product.

9. Mediation in the sale of potatoes (apples) is a business that requires a minimum investment and a little ingenuity. It will not be difficult to visit villages and villages that are far from the city and buy products at the lowest cost. The next step will be the sale of goods at a significantly higher cost.

When we think about seasonal businesses, most of us tend to think that they only exist in summer and winter. Remember counting autumn chicks as a result of your intense activity during previous periods? Is this not a traditional indication that one should think about what business to do in the fall. If you asked this question to the famous analyst and predictor Deepak Chopra, he would say that these birds are your lucky sign. Here are five who profit from the changes that autumn brings to people's lives. Some of these ideas are only short-term opportunities that are profitable for only a few months, while others can become a full-fledged form of year-round small business. But the main advantage is that all types of businesses on this list can be started quickly and inexpensively, so you can see profits in a short time.

Student relocation

Late summer and fall are times when students are actively on the move, moving from their parents' homes to dorms, or summer housing to other accommodations, returning from summer jobs, or looking for new rent. In almost all cases, they have things that need to be moved too. If you live close to the university, help with student relocation and transportation of their belongings can be profitable business on the short term. And of course, it wouldn't be hard at all to turn this small business into a year-round business if you expand your niche.

Resort closures

In the same vein, if you live in a tourist or recreational area, the late summer and fall bring many people back home and this is a time when you could profit from helping organize summer residence closures. Before people return to their winter home, their summer property must be cleaned and closed for the winter, a service that is often in demand. However, you can take care of and control other people's houses on permanent basis if you are interested.

back to school

Where to get money to start own business? This is the problem faced by 95% of new entrepreneurs! In the article, we have revealed the most relevant ways of obtaining start-up capital for an entrepreneur. We also recommend that you carefully study the results of our experiment in exchange earnings:

This small business idea certainly only works in the short term, but that doesn't mean it's not worth doing. The idea is incredibly simple: a client gives you a list of school supplies, and you do the shopping and delivery, a real time-saver for busy moms and dads who are happy to delegate this routine to others for a fee.

Professional organizer

The changing season often causes many people to rush to clean up. You can capitalize on this desire of potential customers by helping them organize their closets, garages, and kitchens. While this small business idea is great as a year-round venture, it's easy to give it a seasonal twist by focusing on projects like cleaning up various summer gear and organizing kids' study rooms.

gardening

And of course, you can't imagine autumn without falling leaves in most places, just as most people hate to shovel them themselves. Start a small business with a focus on fall yard cleaning, trimming hedges one last time, clearing leaves from lawns, and preparing gardens for winter. You will need to invest in some equipment for this business idea, but depending on the scope of services you are going to offer, your investment may be minimal.

Don't wait to get started. If you would like to start your own business and make some money from it, but are not ready for a long-term commitment right now, choose one of these seasonal ideas for small business. The only thing to consider is that it is important to be prompt here in order to become the first in this service sector. The sooner you do this, the sooner you can harvest additional funds.

Hello dear reader! I am glad to welcome you to the vastness of our business magazine.

Recently, my colleagues and I thought about the question of what is the most popular product in Russia. I think every thinker sooner or later comes up with this question. Personally, he began to torment me from the moment we decided to launch our online store, but that's another story.

Usually one question causes a series of subsequent ones, so today there will be not only the top-selling goods in Russia, Ukraine and the CIS - we will also consider with you:

trending goods in online sales;
what is in demand on bulletin boards (www.avito.ru);
top 10 purchased goods worldwide;
what is currently being bought by the Slavic brother in China (using the resource ru.aliexpress.com).

Purpose of this article- general development, expansion of consciousness. You will learn how to analyze the demand for a product and its seasonality using public Internet tools, and most importantly, you will be able to show off your new knowledge to your comrades. Let's start!

The best-selling product in Russia and Ukraine

This information is unlikely to help you find a niche for your store, but at least it is interesting. You have a minute to think for yourself which product is the best-selling in Russia.

And no, the answer is not food, not cigarettes, and not even alcohol, but we buy it almost every time we go shopping to the store or to the market. In general, the purchase of this product occurs on the machine. Guessed?

So, the title of the best-selling product in Russia is the usual plastic bag. Even on such a seemingly insignificant product, you can make millions of rubles.

The world has already begun to realize that polyethylene products cause great harm to the environment. environment. The problem is that polyethylene long time does not decompose, and this leads to the death of 1 million birds, 100,000 marine mammals and a huge number of schools of fish. In the US and Europe, plastic bags began to be abandoned.

What to look for when choosing a product for sale?

If you are interested in a product for sale, you should go the other way. You should not look for the most popular product that is bought by the population in “cars”. First of all, we need to look at the prospects and profitability - our product must also be ready for adverse conditions, since economic crises are not uncommon now.

The list of the most purchased goods in Russia includes the following:

shallow Appliances;
electrical goods;
sanitary goods;
everyday tools;
household chemicals;
clothing and footwear;
children's products;
other goods of daily use.

Let's go through the list of the most popular products:

meat (beef, pork, chicken, turkey);
semi-finished products;
chicken eggs;
frozen seafood (fish);
vegetable and butter;
cow's milk;
flour and pasta;
sugar and salt;
Black tea;
cereals (buckwheat, rice, millet, oats);
vegetables (potatoes, carrots, onions, cabbage);
apples, bananas.

Some have more demand, some less. How to decide?

Focus on your interest and think about what is closer to your heart.
Everything is known in comparison: in order to make a choice in favor of a particular product, analysis is needed (this will be discussed in a separate article).

It is beyond the scope of the article, so we will consider this problem in more detail another time. And now we will begin to rank the most purchased goods by Russians on the Internet. Go!

Top best-selling products on the Internet in 2017

The Internet is a large and interesting market, for three reasons:

now the Internet coverage in Russia is about 74%, while there is a constant growth;
the share of users of the older age group is also increasing;
mobile Internet audience rushes at space speed (30-40% of people access our site from smartphones or tablets).

70% of all Russian Internet users logged in at least once from a mobile device - a year ago, for example, this figure was 56%.

What is the reason for such a rapid growth of the Internet? Along with it, the demand for goods and services is increasing, and this is what we need. Next, we'll look at:

the most demanded and popular goods in online stores;
the most trendy and popular products on one-pagers for today.

1. Search for a product in demand for an online store

In an attempt to keep track of the most popular and popular products in online stores that are best bought by the population in 2016, we came up with the following top 10 list.

Small household appliances today are the leader in online sales. The low price and compact dimensions make this product almost ideal (but this product is not suitable for sale in your online store).
Perfumes and cosmetics .
Mobile devices.
Laptops and tablets.
Internet gifts and toys.
Licensed software.
Clothing and footwear.
Books. Surprisingly, paper books are still popular. It would seem that they are expensive, besides, there are many sites where you can download literature of interest in electronic form for free. However, this does not prevent paper books from being sold.
Booking tickets online. You can't imagine how many planes are in the air right now (whenever you have a free moment, go to flightradar24.com - this will expand the boundaries of your consciousness).
Large home appliances.

Most of the listed products will not work if you are going to open an online store from scratch. Problems and breakdowns can arise with equipment, and in order to earn normally, you need to order in bulk. It is unrealistic to compete with big players who take goods in bulk and sell them at a price typical for ordinary stores.

2. One-pager: what is it and why is it needed?

One-pager, landing page, landing page, landing page - these are all synonyms.

There is such a category as wow-goods (in Russian wow = wow) - goods of impulse demand. Have you ever walked past a store or kiosk, saw an advertisement for a product on TV or the Internet, and you immediately wanted to buy it, although before that you didn’t even know it existed? It is highly likely that this was a product from this category. TV stores also often sell wow goods. Here are some examples:

effortless slimming belt;
simulators that pump muscles without your participation;
all kinds of savers of water, light, fuel, etc.;
creams to increase something;
copies of branded watches, iPhones.

Are you familiar with the concept of CPA networks, affiliate marketing and traffic arbitrage? If not, this will be a separate detailed article. In short, a CPA network is an intermediary between a webmaster (a person who works with sites and traffic) and advertisers who have a product. They are ready to pay a commission to the webmaster for promoting and selling the product. CPA networks sell wow products through one-pagers. Remember the phrase that demand creates supply? In the case of these guys, it's the other way around.

Here is one of the many Pater networks - http://m1-shop.ru/. After registration, the offered goods will be available at the link http://m1-shop.ru/ofers, which you can familiarize yourself with (about 300 offers). I will give 10 of them, which were top at the time of this writing.

So, your attention is presented to the top of the most popular products that are sold through one-pagers in large volumes.

Mask from black dots and acne Black Mask.
Solar power bank.
Army wrist watch amst.
AB Gymnic belt.
MAC corrector.
Corset Waist Trainer.
Mangosteen is a slimming syrup.
FishHungry Biting Activator.
Spray for hair Ultra Hair System.
titanium gel.

Some data from Avito - the largest bulletin board in Russia

I tried to find information for 2016, but only came across the official report from two years earlier. Since there is fish for lack of fish and cancer, we will continue to talk about 2014. However, the information is interesting and useful, so there will be something to think about.

Conducting a study, Avito analysts found that site users were stingy with 34.4 billion rubles in product categories such as:

personal items;
goods for home and garden;
hobbies and recreation;
Appliances;
goods for pets.

A third of the turnover was taken over by the categories “Personal belongings” and “Products for home and summer cottages” (6.5 and 5.5 billion rubles, respectively). Funny thing: Compared to the previous year, sales in these categories grew almost equally - by 38.6% and 38.3%.

And the best-selling category of goods was "Consumer Electronics": laptops, computers, video and photo cameras, smartphones and other gadgets were sold on Avito for 15.2 billion rubles. The amount is not small, but if compared with the previous year, the growth is only 13.2%.

3.5 billion rubles were spent on Hobby and Leisure, an increase of 47.4%. And they did not spare money on pets and spent 4.7 billion rubles: the annual growth was as much as 82%.

fan;
netbook;
swimsuit;
smartphone;
prom dress;
tent;
Yorkshire Terrier;
video card;

From this list, we can conclude that the demand is strongly influenced by the season.

How to analyze the seasonality of a product?

If you are reading this article because you are going to open an online store or start a business, it is important not to miscalculate the seasonality of the product.

Let's look at a product that is at the beginning of the top on Avito - a fan.

To analyze seasonality and demand, we will use the well-known service https://wordstat.yandex.ru/. It is designed to evaluate the user interest that can be applied to the product we have selected. Before starting work, you must register / log in to the service. If you don't want captcha popping up all the time, it's better to immediately disable adblock or its equivalent.

Next, we select the region that interests us (in my case, I look at data for Russia, Ukraine and other CIS countries). Next, in a special field, I enter the query “buy a fan”, as it more accurately reflects the intention of users than just “fan”.

The service shows that for the last month there were 236,554 impressions for this query (wow, not bad!). It can be concluded that the product is in demand. And I'll check the seasonality of this product! I just did a search for "By words", now I'll switch the checkbox to "Query History" and see what happens. The graph shows that in 2016 the demand for fans increased by 2 times compared to last year (apparently this year is VERY hot). Thus, if you bought fans and started selling them in the winter, most likely nothing would come of it. Therefore, never buy a product without testing the demand!

Of course, the example I gave is obvious - it is clear that it is hot in summer, and the demand for fans will be greater than in the cold season. However, not all products are so obvious. It is also better to look for such niches where the chart is just starting to rise - it is better to prepare for the season in advance.

Rating of the most popular goods from China

Define a sales leader Chinese market difficult, because it buys anything and in huge quantities. Have you ever ordered something from China? Personally, I ordered a watch, scales, a case for e-book, a bag, a UV lamp and all sorts of other things. If anyone does not know, here are 2 sites where the bulk of the population of Russia, Ukraine and the CIS orders goods from China:

Aliexpress is more designed for retail purchase - here you can easily order goods in one copy. However, sometimes it is more profitable to buy goods in a regular online store than here.
Alibaba is a large wholesaler: prices for goods are much cheaper, but you have to order in bulk. Often the delivery of goods is several times more expensive than its cost.

mobile phones;
clothing and footwear, including copies of world brands;
laptops and tablets;
Appliances;
computer components and accessories;
goods for sports and recreation;
bed dress;
furniture;
electrical goods;
equipment and machines.

Of course, the data does not reflect reality 100%, but the truth is somewhere nearby.

As long as there is money, or items that can replace them, there is trade. Every day we run out of bread, butter, vegetables and fruits, we lack new clothes and shoes, household appliances. The desire to get something new leads people to the market, where, having studied an extensive range of goods, they choose exactly the one that is needed in a particular situation.

A purchase is made, as a result of which the seller receives the required amount of money, and the buyer receives the desired product. At first glance, the deal is mutually beneficial and satisfies the interests of both parties, but in fact, the entrepreneur involved in the market is in a more advantageous situation, since it was he who was lucky enough to overtake competitors and get this buyer. The last one is important in maintaining trading business. The lack of buyers makes it unprofitable and leads to the closure of the outlet, which many novice businessmen fear most of all.

Trade has been and remains the most profitable business in terms of getting profit as soon as possible.

The main thing trading rule– creation of its own extensive customer base, as well as the sale of goods in demand. With skillful goal setting, a small initial capital and strong confidence in your own luck, trading in specific goods can become the main source of income and give a 100% return. For example, being the owner of a retail outlet in the market that sells household chemicals, you can earn a solid income without worrying about damage to the product and lowering its value. There is always a demand for goods such as potatoes, onions, peppers and other vegetables. People need clothes and shoes all the time and at any time of the year. Selling bakery products, not a single entrepreneur remained in the loser.

The only thing about worth remembering new businessman:

trade can be profitable only when the number of competitors is minimized;
everything depends on the buyers;
investments will definitely pay off, therefore, in an effort to save money, you should not overstep the boundaries.

The ideal option is a family trading contract, in which all family members take part. In this case, the costs of a loader, a seller, and even an accountant are minimized, which makes it possible to save significant amounts on this expense item that go to the family budget.

Features of the organization of a retail outlet in the market

Having not yet decided on the product, but having an idea of \u200b\u200bwhat kind it will be, you should start search for a place under the outlet. The most profitable places are considered to be places with greater cross-country ability of people - entrance, exit, first rows adjacent to them. Naturally, they are all occupied or rented at inflated prices. Most often, beginners are offered distant boutiques and pavilions, rent for which is not as high as the possible profit from sales from this place. In no case should you agree to such an option, it is better to take a more expensive one, but near places with a large crowd of people.

Having decided to organize a point of sale, you should decide on form of doing business. The easiest way is to register as with. Registration in this capacity will not take away more than 1000 rubles, which is important at the initial stage.

To rent a place for the sale of goods, you should receive new status, as this will greatly simplify relations with the market administration and future suppliers.

If you have not yet registered an organization, then the easiest this can be done using online services that will help you generate all the necessary documents for free: If you already have an organization and you are thinking about how to facilitate and automate accounting and reporting, then the following online services come to the rescue, which will completely replace an accountant at your plant and save a lot of money and time.

It is ideal for an individual entrepreneur or LLC on the simplified tax system, UTII, PSN, TS, OSNO.
Everything happens in a few clicks, without queues and stress. Try it and you will be surprised how easy it got!

Selecting a product for sale

Trading always begins with the selection of goods to be offered for sale. The type, shape and name of the goods occupy an important place in obtaining. If possible, trade in inexpensive but exclusive products that are highly competitive and in demand by consumers.

Before looking for a supplier, it is necessary to devote several hours to studying the trading range located nearby. commercial premises competitor boutiques. Having spent quite a bit of time, a novice entrepreneur will be able to avoid mistakes and purchase exactly the product that is lacking in this market segment.

So, if in a neighboring pavilion they sell cleaning products for furniture, floors, stoves and bathtubs, washing powders and dishwashing detergents, it is advisable to bring various kitchen utensils and bath items to your own outlet: towels, dishes, shelves and plastic cabinets, mops and the like. If we are talking about the sale of T-shirts and sweaters, then trousers, skirts and jeans should be delivered to your own outlet. In addition, the choice of products may depend on the time of year and demand for it.

For example, in winter, boots and outerwear are in great demand, in summer - dresses, blouses, sundresses and sandals. You should also pay attention to fashion trends. In the last spring-autumn season, sneakers were in great demand. In the same spring, demand for them fell, buyers prefer shoes with wide heels or platforms.

Assortment analysis by location

Small town

In terms of trade, small towns have their advantages and disadvantages. On the one hand, the population in such cities is small, which means that profits will be distributed extremely unevenly, which makes one think about carefully choosing the location of the outlet. On the other hand, in Small town it is possible to bring quite ordinary goods, and sell them at high prices, due to the lack of competitors.

To this kind goods may include:

inexpensive, but fashionable things and shoes this season;
household chemicals of foreign manufacturers;
confectionery;
alcohol.

The choice of goods is extensive and depends entirely on the location of the market. So, if the market is located in a residential area, it is advisable to start trading in buns, bread, sweets and consumer goods, for which people do not specifically go to the supermarket, but they will gladly purchase them when they go down to the entrance. Near gas stations, you need to trade in spare parts for cars, oils, cigarettes and alcoholic beverages.

Big City

Large cities provide a lot of opportunities for choosing the location of the market where it is planned to open a retail outlet.

So, when planning to trade things, shoes, sports equipment, you should rent a room in the clothing market. If the trade is related to household chemicals, vegetables and fruits, you need to rent a trade kiosk at the grocery market. In addition, there are also construction and mixed markets. Do not forget also about the high popularity of wholesale markets, where goods can be sold not by grams, but by tens of kilograms at the same time.

When planning to open a retail outlet selling accessories for mobile phones, earrings and other jewelry, it is advisable to place it near a university or school. Students and schoolgirls will become regular customers and bring a good income.

Village

When planning to open a retail outlet in a market in a village, you should carefully study the contingent of local residents. The goods for filling the counter should be selected depending on the needs of customers, bearing in mind that most of the villagers are elderly people who do not need branded clothes and the latest in modern technology.

most popular in the village enjoy such goods as:

bread;
flour;
sunflower oil;
salt;
matches;
sugar;
sweet water;
ice cream.

It is advisable to purchase a certain amount of washing powder and detergents, kitchen towels, clothespins, men's and women's socks, shorts, work gloves. Such goods always find their buyer, they are not perishable, so the benefit from their sale is obvious. Do not forget also about alcoholic beverages.

Center or outskirts

When it comes to a point of sale downtown, then you should understand that people go to the center for a specific purpose: to take a walk, go to the theater, cafe, meet friends. In the city center, you can open a retail outlet with flowers, clothes and shoes, or a grocery store, which will offer alcoholic and carbonated drinks, buns, bread, vegetables, fruits and sweets.

Nobody buys quality clothes and shoes on the outskirts, chemical trade, building materials and small appliances will also not be successful. The purchase of significant goods is always deliberate, the buyer wants to have a choice and therefore go shopping in the city center. On the outskirts, it is allowed to open only a grocery store with a small cafe where you can order coffee, tea, breakfast or dinner.

Embankment and other places of recreation

When planning the opening of a retail outlet on the embankment, in parks, at a bus and railway station, near a parking lot and the like, it should be understood that despite the large crowds of people, it will not be profitable to trade large and expensive goods.

Ideal goods are considered:

seeds;
ice cream;
move-dogs;
coffee Tea;
hamburgers;
pies;
sweet and carbonated water;
alcohol;
napkins.

Analysis of the range depending on the field

food

Planning to open your own store in the food market, it should be understood that at first you will not have to expect large incomes. On average, no more than 6 thousand rubles are collected from one food point per day.

The assortment should be selected based on the above information, personal preferences should not interfere with the desire to earn. It is most profitable to engage in the trade of potatoes and other relatively perishable vegetables. Potatoes, carrots, onions and beets will always be in demand. No less profitable to trade in meat. In the latter case, the business can become practically waste-free.

non-food

The non-food sector of trade should include, first of all, the sale of things, chemicals, dishes, small household appliances, and electrical appliances. You should choose high-quality, but not expensive goods, the margin on which will not make the buyer want to pass by.

Construction

The sale of building products requires not only studying the market in order to find a free niche, but also having certain knowledge in the construction field. Not all buyers can sensibly explain how thick the timber they need specifically, what quality of paint they expect and how many rolls of wallpaper they need. If the product supplier does not know this, the business will fail from the very beginning.

Selection of goods sold depending on the season

Trying to get the most benefit from trading, one should focus not only on the location of the market and the number of competitors, but also on the season, especially when it comes to trading in vegetables and fruits. In winter, it is most profitable to trade potatoes, carrots and onions.

In the spring, you can make good money selling strawberries, cherries and fresh vegetables. In summer, tomatoes, cucumbers, plums, pears, apples, peaches and apricots are in great demand. In autumn you can organize wholesale trade sweet pepper, eggplant and cabbage.

The same applies to clothes and shoes. The assortment of the outlet should change following the change of seasons, otherwise, the entrepreneur will not benefit from the business he has started.

Typical mistakes of novice entrepreneurs in the field of trading in market squares

You should not count on the fact that by purchasing cheap goods, renting a retail outlet and finding a few buyers, you can build a real business that you can pass on to your own children.

Many entrepreneurs stay afloat for only a few years, or even months, after which they close, having come to the erroneous conclusion that such a business is unprofitable.

In fact, these problems arise from numerous mistakes made in the process of trading, here are some of them:

These reasons are far from the only ones, but in most cases they have a negative impact on the trading business.

Impact of the crisis on trading in the market

Successful trade largely depends on the purchasing power of citizens.

In crisis years, buyers have less money, respectively, they go to the market less often, which leads to a decrease in the number of sales and the closure of many outlets.

During the crisis years best to trade groceries and essentials. Clothing, shoes and small household appliances are in less demand, as are interior items. The crisis is detrimental to trade, but having a lot of experience in this area, you can adapt to it.

What to offer the consumer, and to make a profit from it? What is more profitable to implement on the market in the coming years will be discussed in this article.

What is a hot commodity

A hot commodity is a product that is in high demand, it is easy to find a buyer for it. However, not in every case, popular goods can be unequivocally recognized as reliable and profitable for the seller - those that a person will come for, even if he is limited in cash. Therefore, before choosing products for sale, it is always necessary to take into account not only the level of saleability at the moment, but also in the future, as well as calculate the profit per unit of goods sold at the checkout.

Good selling item- this is a product that will be equally taken both in a crisis and in moments of economic development.

It is easier and more reasonable for an entrepreneur to get a little less income by selling reliable products (always needed) than expensive risky products that are purchased ad hoc. Compare cereals and delicious seafood: a person can eat buckwheat several times a week, while he will take caviar or shrimp only on holidays.

The simplest examples of in-demand goods

If you sit down for a moment and think about the most frequently bought in Russia goods, bread, cigarettes and alcohol come to mind. So it is, but this does not mean at all that opening a business selling any of these products is guaranteed to bring high and stable incomes or any advantages compared to other products.

Take, for example, cigarettes - one of the most popular products in the Russian Federation. The cigarette business is far from the most profitable. It's all the fault of the system, which is aimed at the formation of maximum prices in this particular niche.

Or consider alcohol.

Not every drink from a huge variety will be on the list of popular leaders. Expensive elite drinks - wines, cognacs, whiskeys, in rare cases, will be able to bring a stable income to the business owner in the same way as cheaper and more affordable drinks do. The most popular drink is beer. For the past 5 years, its sales have been steadily holding their positions at the same high level. But the success of sales of low-alcohol products is influenced by many additional factors: place, assortment, competition, brand.

But no matter how high and massive the sales of alcoholic and tobacco products are, there is another most profitable product for a business that every person acquires whenever they go shopping. And this place of honor belongs to an ordinary plastic bag. Starting polyethylene production is not so easy, but people make millions of rubles on this insignificant product.

Popular hot goods in Russia (in examples)

Now in the Russian Federation, the population is interested mainly in simple bakery products, vodka and cigarettes. But here, at the start, an entrepreneur needs to be careful: all specified positions are subject to certain restrictions provided for by law when pricing. Thus, it is necessary to ensure an extremely large turnover in order to make a profit, and this is difficult in the sales market, since competition in these segments is very high.

To those in demand in the territory Russian Federation currently include:

small household appliances, budget electronics;
electrical goods;
household chemicals and personal care products;
Kids toys;
simple food products (mainly bakery products, semi-finished products, oils, cereals and cereals, vegetables, tea).

However, a hot commodity and a profitable one are not the same thing.

The latter includes everything that the buyer is willing to spend his money on, without thinking too much about the amount. Such products, small and rather banal at first glance, can be sold with good revenue. Typically, the range of this retail " cheap stuff”is presented in small shops and stalls, and is purchased for free in China: dishes, hygiene products, stationery, small things useful in the household (clothespins, hangers, coat hangers, adhesive tapes, etc.). Thus, a profitable product is everything that surrounds us every day, which a person uses regularly.

The buyer will always need food, so even in a crisis, the leading positions in terms of sales do not give up food. Consumers try to avoid expensive offers and look for affordable analogues, for example, instead of natural cheese, they take a cheese product.

Another profitable position is gastronomic products by weight. Nuts, teas, dried fruits, dried seafood and other trifles that are purchased in large quantities in China or Asian countries, and then sold in small containers at a premium. So much and cheap turns into little and expensive.

How to choose a hot product for your niche in business

Everyone chooses a certain strategy for himself:

the sale of risk-free goods with a smaller but stable profit;
trade goods from the high-risk group and receiving unstable, but sometimes high profits.

Most entrepreneurs will choose reliability, that is, the first option. Starting in search of goods for commerce is not from the most popular varieties, but from promising and profitable ones.

Most purchased goods in the country can be grouped into the following categories:

small household appliances - among them are kettles, irons, mixers, blenders, hair dryers and others, without which life is basically possible, but with them it becomes more comfortable and simple;
electrical goods - this includes sockets, switches, light bulbs, adapters and other similar items that a person needs;
sanitary items - plumbing and accessories that tend to be damaged - these are gaskets, valves, taps, showers and others;
tools of daily use - include hammers, saws, nails, screws, screwdrivers, axes and many other things necessary in the household;
household chemicals - includes various cleaning products, detergents, personal hygiene items that people purchase with regular constancy;
clothing and footwear - goods that a person will not buy every day, but cannot do without them;
goods for children - clothes, toys, shoes, accessories, everyday life accessories, etc.;
other everyday items.

There are also leaders among food products. According to statistics, the most purchased over the past year in the country were:

meat, including chicken, pork, beef and turkey;
chicken eggs;
semi-finished products - are in great demand among women;
frozen seafood and fish;
vegetable oil and butter;
cow's milk;
pasta, flour and flour products;
salt, sugar;
cereals - rice, buckwheat, oats;
Black tea;
fruits - bananas, apples;
vegetables - onions, potatoes, cabbage, carrots.

Among all the variety, some products are in great demand, others are less. How to do right choice and stop at a certain type?

Orientation to own knowledge, interest and command of the heart. Not every product will equally bring satisfaction from working with it. Somewhere there will be a lack of knowledge, somewhere experimental knowledge, somewhere the frequency of implementations. The key to the success of any sales should not lie in the thirst for an early profit. First of all, you need to love your own business.
Comparison of the most suitable product groups for you. If you are torn between several varieties of goods and do not know which one to prefer, then a detailed analysis will help determine.

First steps on the way to a big business

After you have decided what to sell , you need to answer a number of questions that will help develop a business strategy. So this is:

where to sell;
who to sell.

The solution to the first question can be found in two ways:

Open a shop, go to the market , rent a room for a shop, rent a stall or trading area etc.
Trade over the Internet. This method will reduce the price of goods and attract more buyers.

Each of these options has both advantages and disadvantages. Not every product can be successfully sold on the Internet, and not every product on the shelves of the store is able to interest you in the same way as in the open spaces of the network.

Now back to the second question - to whom we will sell goods. If the products are in demand mostly among the elderly population, then it makes no sense to organize trade via the Internet. Regarding real trade, it is also important to decide on buyers in order to profitably place your sales markets in the future.

The next step will be to take into account all your capabilities in the following aspects:

the availability and volume of start-up investments for starting a business;
when opening a retail outlet, it is advisable to carry out preliminary marketing research in the proposed territory: demand opportunities, traffic flow, likelihood of competition, etc.;
it is necessary to take care of the maximum demand in the chosen place, as well as the stability of demand for the goods even with changes in the economic situation.

With a detailed study of the listed aspects and the correct answers to the proposed questions, starting a business will not seem so complicated and intimidating.

Internet trading

The offer of products on the Internet is beneficial for several reasons. First, the coverage of the global network in the Russian Federation is over 70% and this number is growing every year. One way or another, almost all residents of the country have access to online stores. Secondly, if earlier online shopping was popular among young people, now these people are getting older, and the “army” of young site visitors is constantly replenished, that is, sales volumes are also growing. And finally, thirdly, the rhythm of life makes us look for faster ways to purchase the necessary products, so online stores come to the rescue (they are visited from computers, and 1/3 of users from tablets and smartphones). In addition, merchandise in them becomes more profitable and to save the budget.

Hot goods on the Internet

What to build a business on the network, which is more required by users who prefer to make purchases online?

Electronics

The first group includes all kinds of electronic devices and electrical goods that are compact in size: home and kitchen appliances, mobile gadgets, laptops, readers, tablets. As for various teapots, toasters and coffee makers, it is better to organize their sale on well-known sites, since opening your own online store is a costly business, and you will also need to constantly compete with major players.

Perfumes and cosmetics

This group includes toilet and perfumery water, cologne, face and body skin care products, cleansing serums and gommages, decorative cosmetics. Also, the range can be supplemented with accessories for applying and removing funds.

Gift items and toys

Even in the absence of money, people tend to pamper a close present. Unusual gizmos are purchased for adults, and toys (plush, plastic, radio-controlled) - for children. Quadcopters and their accessories are becoming popular.

Clothing and footwear, accessories

To turn to online stores for such a seemingly simple product, people are forced by the high price in ordinary outlets. Often on the Internet it is possible to find a similar product much cheaper, plus with free delivery - a double benefit, and a person does not need to leave the house once again.

Green tea, coffee

Trade in these products is promoted by customers who strive to lead a healthy lifestyle, advocating cleansing the body and saturating it with useful elements. Despite the crisis, many people cannot deny themselves a cup of delicious drink.

Online shopping prices

Any person organizing a business is interested in what kind of cost premium can be made on the assortment, how much revenue will be received in the end by selling all the purchased goods.

For the most everyday goods, the margin cannot be large, from 5 to 35%, and only large stores can afford to do this. But even they, like smaller entrepreneurs, strive to find goods with a high mark-up from 100% (umbrellas, bags, gifts) to 300% (gadget cases, seasonal products). It is most advantageous to purchase cheap Chinese products, and only after that to sell them on the territory of the Russian Federation is many times more expensive.

If you plan to open a store from scratch, then it is better to refuse to sell equipment and electronics, since they must be purchased in large quantities, and customers may experience breakdowns during operation.

At the start of opening a business, it is quite possible to engage in the trade of wow goods (purchases of impulse demand). This includes various items that will help a person do something without much effort (a slimming belt, simulators for certain muscle groups, devices for savingelectricity, fuel). The main thing is that such products should not be classified as perishable (since the percentage of utilization of expired raw materials is high), they do not require special storage conditions (humidity, temperature), since you will have to look for additional premises and spend money.

Statistical data

As an illustrative example, we will give information collected using the well-known Avito portal, where both individuals and companies are involved in the sale. So, over the past year, users spent almost 34 billion rubles on the purchase of products from 5 categories:

personal goods - 6.5 billion;
products for home and summer cottages - 5.5 billion;
products for recreation and activities - 3.5;
household appliances - 15.2;
all for pets - 4.7.

The leaders in statistics were seasonal goods (for example, fans, tents were well bought in the summer), gadgets and accessories, and clothes.

total stats for 2016 allowed to create the following list of the 10 most frequently bought goods on the Internet:

Small household appliances became the leader of sales on the Internet.
In second place are cosmetics and perfumes.
The honorable third place was occupied by mobile phones. Moreover, about 10% of citizens RF regularly update their gadgets by purchasing phones on the Internet at better prices. On average, people buy models worth up to 600 US dollars.
Then come tablets and laptops.
Toys and original gifts.
Licensed software.
Shoes, clothes, accessories.
Books. Quite interesting is the fact that, despite the free, easy accessibility and convenience of the electronic version of books, paperback literature is being sold at a good pace via the Internet.
Order and pay for tickets online.
Large home appliances.

But most of the most popular goods are not suitable for opening trade via the Internet from scratch. For example, even if you have enough money to invest in a large household. equipment, then you need to buy it only in bulk and in large quantities. Damage costs cannot be ruled out. BUT market already crowded with large entrepreneurs, with whom it will be difficult to compete.

Regional difference

In many ways, demand depends not only on how much money the client has in his wallet, but also on seasonality. The keyword selection service will help you evaluate this parameter. wordstat.yandex.ru. On this site, you must enter the query of interest and select the region. Next, the system will show how many times the word was requested during the month. To assess the seasonality of a product, just switch to the “request history” and view the data provided. Based on the information received, it is easy to conclude which product will be more interesting to people in summer or winter.

Of course, one can make assumptions based on life experience, but statistics are much more reliable than subjective hypotheses.

For example, a rain umbrella should be needed by a person in autumn or spring, but in reality this product is most bought from May to September.

Another direction for local trade - regional branding. This implies the production and sale of T-shirts, sweatshirts, mugs and other souvenirs with the logos of the district, city or region, or, for example, clothing for Siberians.

As you can see, it is not so difficult to determine the most profitable product, because in fact all these products are everything that we need almost daily. Those things that a person cannot refuse even in a crisis will always be in the shopping cart at the exit of the store.
