How much can a related tobacco and alcohol wholesale earn?

There are many kinds of tobacco specialty stores in the streets, but careful friends have observed that some tobacco specialty stores have few customers a day, but they still have not closed down. This has aroused the curiosity of many people. Is it really profitable to open such a tobacco and liquor store? A professional boss gave the trick.

First, retail does not make money.

China implements the tobacco monopoly system, which is an industrial field that private individuals can't set foot in. Not only in the production process, but also in the sales process has been strictly controlled. Tobacco and liquor stores must obtain a tobacco retail license issued by the Tobacco Monopoly Bureau before buying and selling cigarettes.

The new business level is low. Generally speaking, you can purchase goods four times a month, and the amount of each purchase is about 4000-5000 yuan. From the perspective of the whole industrial chain, the profit left by retail links to merchants is generally around 10%! Because the retail price of cigarettes is very transparent and strictly controlled, it is almost impossible to increase the price privately.

Simply calculate, a newly licensed merchant should buy 20,000 yuan of cigarettes every month, and the monthly net profit should be around 2,000 yuan. Plus the wholesale and retail of some drinks, it is very good to reach a profit level of 3000 yuan. Of course, this is only an ideal situation, because merchants can't choose the type of cigarettes they buy, and there will be a backlog of some types of cigarettes.

The author has a friend who runs a cigarette hotel. He said that if you want to make money through retail, you have a high demand for lots. If you don't have your own facade, the monthly rent will lower your profits. People who really make money in this industry don't rely on retail at all!

Since retail is not profitable, what business is the most profitable?

Second, group purchase and wholesale

This friend's tobacco and liquor shop is on a nearby street. Because of its location, few customers will enter the door. But fortunately, it is a mom-and-pop shop, and the facade demolition compensation, so it has a cost advantage.

According to him, tobacco and alcohol retail is not his money-making business at all. He relies on tobacco and alcohol wholesale and retail! First of all, many villagers are familiar with him because his hometown is in the surrounding countryside. Anyone who has a wedding or funeral always wholesales alcohol and tobacco here. According to him, the net profit of each wholesale business can basically break thousands.

Secondly, one of his relatives works as a manager in a local construction company. With this relationship, he not only got on the company's tobacco and alcohol supply line, but also got many other customers through the introduction of relatives. As for the deeper mystery, I believe knowledgeable friends know that "kickback" is the basic operation.

According to him, it is very difficult to turn group buying and wholesale into the main business, which requires certain personal connections and understanding of the world. Ordinary shops simply can't afford to play. And even if they are given such a big list, they have no channel to get the supply. From the introduction of friends, the author draws a conclusion that although the tobacco and alcohol specialty store is small, there are hidden doorways in its management.

Besides this business, what other channels are there to make money?

Third, the title and exhibition fee.

The same friend, his cigarette and liquor store is not big, about 50 square meters, but there is a beautiful big shelf inside, displaying some brand drinks. According to him, even if these drinks can't be sold, they can bring one or two hundred yuan a month in the showcase, and the brand will give him a display fee, which is a way of advertising.

In addition, this friend also revealed that some tobacco hotels operating in the bustling business district will have brands to discuss cooperation with the owner and name them on the basis of the store name. For example, add brand names such as "Liuyang River" and "Yellow Crane Tower" to the signboard. Although my friend's shop doesn't have this income, if you look carefully, you will find many shops with this name on the street. The better the location, the greater the passenger flow, and the more title fees you can get.

In addition, many tobacco and liquor stores will sell branded wines! This brand is not well-known, but it is definitely a profiteering product. Some distributors will supply liquor products to tobacco hotels for free, and divide them according to the quantity sold each month. In places with large traffic, tobacco and liquor hotels can get huge returns by selling this brand of wine every month. So, don't be confused by the traffic, the doorway in the tobacco hotel is not simple.
