Why are there no guests in luxury tea shops or tobacco hotels?

First of all, such stores are different from supermarkets and shopping malls that are common in our daily life. People come and go in such places, taking the path of small profits but quick turnover. For sellers selling tea or tobacco and alcohol, as long as there are a few customers every day, the cost and even profit of this day will be there, because the profits of these goods are very high. If we rank the profits of these commodities, tea is the highest, and often you can get several times the profits by selling a box, followed by wine and cigarettes. In this way, even if the number of customers per day is much less than that of other stores, you can still keep a profit.

Secondly, the use cycle of goods is longer. Cigarettes, for example, have been bought by customers as soon as they buy them, and it has been a long time since they come back after consumption. Another example is tea, the purchase quantity is one can at a time, and it will take at least one month to finish it, so customers will not come here to buy it often. In addition, this product is familiar to customers, and there is a clear purpose before buying. If you come to the store and take it, you will leave, and you won't stay too long, so it will appear that there are not many customers in the store.

What we don't know is that the profit of wine is high, but the publicity cost of manufacturers is higher. Because the value of this consumer product is already very high, and another income of the store is the display fee paid by the manufacturer to the store. Putting a brand of wine in your own store is an advertisement in itself, so the store will also get the corresponding publicity expenses, even higher than the profit of wine, so it is not impossible to upgrade the whole store only by the display expenses.

Of course, there are also calls to pick up the goods. Sometimes it seems that the business of a store is not good, but what you don't know is that the boss may have a regular customer every month, and the whole business can be completed by just one phone call, and the customer doesn't need to enter the store at all. In this case, the relationship between customers and shopkeepers will be closer.

And there are many stores that rarely do retail, because they will have many subordinate stores and only need a lot of wholesale every month. So even if there are few customers, the sales volume will not necessarily be less.

Finally, many shops have cooperative business with enterprises, which are directly connected with enterprises, and are responsible for the needs of employees, festivals and weddings within enterprises. Enterprises also need such docking shops to provide them with more stable supply.

To sum up, although almost all tea shops and tobacco hotels seem to have no business, the actual access is deep and not as simple as everyone seems.
