- 4. Let me introduceyou to the hottest and sweetest legitimate online business that you will ever find on the net. What business is that? It is the import business
- 5. WHAT IS MINIIMPORTATION Importation business is obviously one of the most lucrative business in the world. Mini Importation business refers to a business in which you buy goods from abroad (Europe, Asia, America etc) at wholesales prices and resell it in your locality for good profit. Believe me, good money is being made from this evergreen business
- 6. WHAT YOU NEEDTO START MINI IMPORTATION CAPITAL The importation business DOES NOT require a huge sum of capital. All you need is a proper guide with the right idea, a little capital to kick start your business. You can kick start a successful importation business with less than #20,000, and before you know it, you would be making double of your investment capital
- 7. GOODS Just like anyother business, before you start, you need to deliberate on what you would be selling; this is probably the first step in starting a successful business. The same method works for the importation business. You need to make an extensive research on what to sell. The importation business is a dynamic business; it deals with season, geographical location and budget. When deciding on what to buy, consideration must be given to how much people are willing to invest in buying your proposed goods, do they really need the product or it’s just for luxury, what is the age range of your targeted customer, their annual income e.t.c
- 8. PROMOTION If you don’ttell people you’re into a particular business, they would never assume you’re into it. As an importer, you must do all you can to promote your business, across all platform, through words of mouth, through business cards, through friends; all possible means. That’s when people will get to know you’re into the importation business. Promotion is crucial to making sales. The idea is to make as much noise about your business as you can, reason being that, it’s difficult to get people that would take you serious when you’re just starting out, which means an extra level of promotion is required to establish a brand for yourself, but once you’ve been able to put the word out there, you’re on your way to making huge profit on your business.
- 9. SALES The idea behindevery business is a simple logic; buy cheaper sell a little bit higher than purchase rate, the difference between the purchase rate and selling rate is what makes the difference, which is popularly referred to as profit
- 10. SALES After ordering yourgoods from the store, no matter how cheap you buy, all expenses involved in getting the goods to Nigeria must be considered when deciding your selling price
- 11. MARKET This has todo with WHERE to buy your goods online, there are various websites where you can source cheap goods online, but few of this websites are trusted, and if proper care is not taken, a newbie might end up losing money rather than making profits.
