In business, which one is better, grain and oil or tobacco and alcohol?

In business, which one is better, grain and oil or tobacco and alcohol? According to the author's experience, both have advantages and disadvantages. The investment in the grain and oil business is relatively small, but it requires physical effort. Although the investment in tobacco and alcohol is large, it does not require physical effort, so the author still recommends that you choose tobacco and alcohol. Business.

The impression given by people is that the daily consumption of grain and oil is large and there is no need to worry about selling it. Every household eats it every day, so the sales volume will be larger. In fact, this is also the most common understanding. The grain and oil business is not what you think. As simple as that, there is still fierce competition and the situation of facing inventory pressure. Because the author's sister once opened a grain and oil store, the editor knows a little about it, so I will tell you in detail below.

It can be said that it is more difficult to do business in any industry nowadays. If you are doing retail or a small grain and oil retail store, then you must be mentally prepared, that is, it requires physical effort and food. Oil is relatively better. If it is food (including rice and white flour), almost every portion needs to be delivered upstairs. Of course, you don’t have to deliver it, but the final result will be that you can’t sell it. The reason is very simple. In other stores, It's delivered to your home, but you can't. Even if it's a few dollars cheaper, no one will buy it. But you have to know that for each 25 kilogram bag of noodles, retail profit is only a few yuan.

This is just one of them. Another unavoidable problem is the fierce competition. Nowadays, there are more people in every industry. Morning markets in cities and large markets in rural areas sell all kinds of things. There are many, it can be said to be all-inclusive, and rice and white noodles are naturally indispensable. A notable feature of these operators is their low cost. They do not have rent, water, electricity, etc., which is equivalent to reducing costs, so selling things here is also It is generally cheaper and many people are willing to come here to buy. This is a very strong competitor for the store.

There are also some people who drive trucks directly to the gate of the community. If it is not a closed management community, they will drive directly to the downstairs of the community. This kind of real door-to-door delivery should not be underestimated. Their competitiveness will be stronger, their business methods will be more flexible, and they can even help customers book goods.

You can see from the above analysis that the competition in the grain and oil business is very fierce. There are also some fresh food supermarkets that we have not mentioned yet. They pay more attention to quality and service attitude. Therefore, if you want to open a grain and oil business store on your own, the competition you will face is very high and it can be said to be very difficult. Of course, this does not mean that it is not feasible. If you manage it properly and have good service and product quality, you can also attract many customers.

Compared with grain and oil, the competition in the tobacco and alcohol business will be smaller, especially for high-end tobacco and alcohol. Generally, small stores or supermarkets will only sell mass products, and there will be relatively less high-end products. Here you go It brings opportunities, but one thing is unavoidable, that is, it requires a large amount of capital investment.

In short, there is no absolute good or bad business. The question lies in how you run it. You have to choose what suits you and what you can afford based on your own conditions. Only in this way can you make more money from your business. Much silver.
