Seven Steps to Open Tea Shop.

We open a tea shop: seven steps.

1. Search of suppliers

Finding suppliers of weight tea is possible, without rising from a chair, using Internet, however it is not a lot of them.  In big cities there are representatives of suppliers though the prices for the goods are not dictated by the companies-suppliers, and are established by these representatives independently.

Then it is necessary to contact representatives of the tea companies in your city. Many of them have retail shops, and superfluous competitors are not goood for their business, they will reluctantly communicate with you. After you receive the long-awaited price-list, it is necessary to choose the supplier. It is necessary to choose not so cheaper, as the one who offers wider assortment.

2. Margin definition

You can do market analysis carefully writing on your local shops prices. Weight tea, as a rule, is on sale not only in specialised shops, but also in usual supermarkets. Assortment expansion will help to sustain a competition. You can also search and order grades of the tea which are not presented at competitors.

However, it is good to establish various margins and the total prices for various grades of tea, depending on their presence at competitors and popularity among buyers.

By the way for steady customers in due course it is possible to create discount cards.

3. Premise search

The area of the future shop should be about 15 sq. m, the room should be settled down in a place with good passableness: in shopping centre or on a brisk highway. It is necessary to use services of real estate agency, and it is desirable to use services of not one because in similar places there are many big rooms for a rent, but small will be difficult to find. At the same time it is not good to take first finded room, the decision about a room choice should be weighed and considered. The agency takes from you a payment for the services as a percent of the monthly rent rate.

4. Acquisition of the trading equipment

Finding and ordering a trading equipment is not difficult. Terms of manufacturing of show-windows are nearly two weeks but you can try  to find company which will make them for a week. A master will come, make necessary measurements, and soon will show the sketch and names the price.

5. Personnel search

For this purpose it is desirable to involve all resources: the notification of acquaintances about search of sellers, placing of announcements in Internet, in periodicals, on your trading place, and most of all people, as a rule, respond to announcements in newspapers. Be ready to the situation when personnel search will take unlimited time .

6. The work beginning

When ordered goods will arrive, it is necessary to spend all the day for its arrangement. The tea receipt will be not obligatory at once big. It is necessary to mean that tea is the seasonal goods, in a cold season demand for it will grow.

7. Weight or usual?

Sometimes it is favourable to expose weight tea as the additional goods, and main activity will be sale of usual tea. For this purpose it is necessary to find the supplier and make an order, and further it will be possible to do it through the sales representative coming directly on your shop.

The margin on usual tea can be made within 10 % from the prices of supermarkets, and thus the price remains to average.

For image maintenance it is necessary to take concerning expensive the packed tea: Greenfield, Ahmad and various hot chocolate, avoiding cheap grades.

Water economy

The era of total economy of water approaches.
Save money on water consumption. Technology is introduced now by Americans (having peeped it from Japanese) will help:

Washroom is established on a tank of a toilet bowl!

It is correct. Why our toilet bowl tank uses clean water? It needs to be used once at least for more noble purposes, and then we can use it in dirty business.

I hope you wash your hands after you went to toilet. Environmental Design Works designed very interesting nozzle.
See sinkpositive.com. The nozzle is made of plastic and look how it is easily it is established:

The sizes of this nozzle and a scheme of connection of water:

The action principle is simple. When you have used a toilet, have washed off all unnecessary - water from the crane flows. Wash hands faster. Anything is not necessary to switch off, water itself will stop (when the tank will be filled). You leave a toilet with already clean hands, it is possible to go at once to the kitchen or to the TV.

Company-developer considers that the biggest problem is ignorance by ordinary Americans of a principle of action of a toilet bowl. But we, businessmen, have not forgotten, as it is arranged. Therefore we should estimate this device as some kind of service(you earn money for installing the device).

PC Help!

You don't need a huge starting capital for creation of a PC repair service . Business of "the fast computer help» has certain problems.

The situation is created by the high competition. Thus so-called private specialists make on very essential impact. Therefore it is necessary for companies who give such services to know all news about PC hardware and software, expanding a spectrum of services and improving quality and speed of their services to keep afloat, involving new and keeping old clients in the conditions of a rigid competition.

The basic criteria of an estimation is a speed of work and quality of giving services. Almost all participants specify that to achieve constant service and to have constant base of clients it is necessary to perform orders in time, to have flexible price policy and, at last, discounts. For example, "fast" service of one car can monthly cost 100$ for a client, but 10 computers - 80 dollars for one PC.

So, the minimum cost of service of "first aid" is equal on the average to 80 dollars for an hour. Promptness, a time off, Sundays/holidays, raise a price of service in 1,5-2 times. More difficult operations, for example, information recovery will cost 100$ a hour.

User's service costs 40 dollars in an hour (it is possible to buy 20, 30,100 or more 100 hours). It means that though the basic stream of sales is generated by single clients, the companies want to receive the stable monthly income. Company carry out trainings of the masters that, by the way, says that there must be an understanding of necessity of culture of service. And there is one step to corporate culture, that is creation of some standards and market "ripening".
