What do you need to open a pet shop?

It doesn't seem to cost much to open a pet shop now, but it still needs a lot. It is enough to buy a few pets, but it is not that simple. How much does it cost to open a pet shop? Today I'll tell you what you need to open a pet shop and how much you need to invest.

1. Understanding of the pet industry

Just open the webpage, email and TV, and all kinds of joining advertisements are overwhelming. Choosing a good joining project is particularly important, which directly determines whether you will earn a lot of money in the next few years. If you choose the pet industry, then you should put down everything in your hand and start to understand the pet industry in all directions. International and domestic pet industry history, pet industry development, pet business scope, pet development status in China, and even pet habits are all your lessons. When you master and stand at a certain height to analyze the pet industry, you can have a cool head when you choose to join the project, paving the way for future store management.

Step 2 inject capital

Both individuals and franchisees need funds, but joining will save more money. Of course, the first thing to consider is how much money is available. It is irrational to invest arbitrarily or prudently. As far as pet franchise stores are concerned, there are 8 business projects (pet supplies sales, pet grooming, pet foster care, pet medical treatment, live body sales, waiting for delivery and maintenance, pet paradise and pet photography) and 4 pet shop projects (mini shops, boutiques, standard shops and flagship stores). The investment of each franchise store is different. At the beginning of joining, there will be an injection of joining fee and operating deposit. Although the deposit can be refunded, it still needs time limit, so it must be considered first. If you calculate the cost of decoration and housing again, tens of thousands of yuan must be prepared.

3. Storage location

The choice of pet shop address is the least flexible factor in the operation of opening a shop, and there are many factors to be considered, including the size and characteristics of the surrounding population, the number of pets, peer competition, convenient transportation, the characteristics of nearby businesses, the cost of real estate (rental cost), the contract period, the trend of population change and relevant laws and regulations. Too cold and lonely, remote location, not suitable for opening a pet shop

4. Personal interests

The pet industry is different from other industries and is not based solely on economic interests. Many shopkeepers entered the pet industry out of their love for pets and finally achieved great success. Therefore, the love for pets is a prerequisite for opening a pet shop. But you can rest assured that even if you are not interested in pets at present, the pet industry will give you more returns as long as you make up your mind to fight.

From 2000 to now, the rapid development of pet industry in China witnessed the change of life attitude. A series of production, sales and service projects around pets have undoubtedly begun to appear as a new industry. Entering the pet industry will be your best choice for success!

It is a good choice for pets to join the chain. Up to now, more than 500 pet chain stores have been opened all over the country, with a good reputation. It is also a well-known pet chain brand in the pet circle.

Capital investment:

Pet shop investment should be at least 50 thousand yuan. Now advocate holding certificates. First of all, you have to pay 1 1,000 yuan, attend the training for about one month, and get the qualification certificate of "pet beautician". Therefore, it is necessary to invest 1 1,000 yuan in pet grooming facilities: bath, an electric hair clipper (about 2,000 yuan), five cutter heads (1 1,000 yuan), three or four hairdressing scissors (2,000 yuan), hair dryers, water heaters, etc. Another 20,000 yuan is used to purchase goods. In places where pet products are eaten, washed, played and lived, 654.38+00000 yuan is used to buy food including nutrition, 5000 yuan is used to buy bath products, and 5000 yuan is used to match other kinds of goods. In addition, store decoration, shelves, etc. It still needs about 1 ten thousand yuan.

Store location:

Site selection is an important part of opening a pet shop, and many factors need to be considered. Including the size and characteristics of the surrounding population, the number of pets, peer competition, the convenience of transportation, the characteristics of nearby businesses, the cost of real estate (rent), the term of the contract, the trend of population change and relevant laws and regulations. Pet shops should be located in downtown areas, residential areas or special animal markets. The business area is about 30 to 40 square meters, and the store should have ventilation facilities and washing devices to keep it clean and bright.

Competitiveness:

Pet shops should build their own core competitiveness. We can start from three places: professional shop assistants, product quality and customer maintenance. The basic requirement for recruiting shop assistants is to have love for animals, preferably people who have owned pets. Secondly, you should have professional knowledge and at least be able to identify the types of pets. In terms of commodity quality, entrepreneurs must strictly control the purchase channels. At the beginning of the opening of pet shops, it is best to choose well-known brands from regular manufacturers. Pet store management should pay special attention to word-of-mouth effect. If you want to run well, you must make friends with customers, not only provide good service, but also try your best to retain customers.

Opening profit:

According to the law, it is not profitable to invest in pet shops for half a year. The gross profit of food and supplies is about 20%, and the beauty is about 60%. According to the rent of 2000 yuan/month, the operating income of more than 5000 yuan per month can be guaranteed.
