Food is the most important thing for the people, and 65.438+0.4 billion people in China are hungry if they don't eat for a day, so the catering industry is still the most popular entrepreneurial industry in 2007. In addition, the catering industry has always been welcomed by entrepreneurs because of its lowest investment threshold and strongest explosive power.
According to the analysis of experts in the catering industry, the most profitable items in catering at this stage are breakfast shops, leisure drinks shops and China specialty snack bars.
Breakfast shops and leisure drinks shops have the advantages of low cost and quick recovery, with an average investment cost of 200-654.38+10,000 yuan and an average net profit of 25%-35%. Generally, the investment can be recovered from June to September, so they are the first choice that many entrepreneurs should consider.
Industry experts suggest that at this stage, it is not easy for these two types of stores to achieve better performance in a short period of time, and even it is not easy to survive in some particularly competitive fields. Therefore, entrepreneurs may wish to consider joining well-known brands to start their own businesses, but they must be extra careful when choosing a truly competitive headquarters.
In addition, with the gradual formation of urban construction in many places in China in recent years, entrepreneurs should change the thinking of operating "passers-by" in the past, pay attention to cultivating "regular customers and repeat customers" and create customer loyalty.
China local specialty snacks have always been favored. Another expert specially recommended: With the improvement of people's living standards in various places, compared with traditional snacks in China such as pot stickers and porridge, there may be a "cheap seafood fast-fried shop" with coastal flavor in 2007.
Cheap seafood fast-food restaurants, each serving 30 yuan of seafood to 40 yuan, are generally accepted by urban residents, and it is said that business is booming in some cities. However, the cost of opening a store is relatively high, about 200 thousand. However, if we can operate in franchise chain mode, we can reduce the purchase price of seafood, reduce the cost, increase the gross profit and increase the profit space.
Cheap seafood fast-frying shops are generally suitable for opening in night markets or crowded commercial and residential mixed areas.
TOP2: Urban Convenience Store Industry with Diversified Services.
With the steady development of China's economy and the accelerated pace of life, the convenience store industry with diversified services has developed rapidly in a few developed cities such as Shanghai, Beijing and Shenzhen, and even the daily turnover of some convenience stores has reached more than 10,000 yuan.
However, the whole convenience store industry in China is still in the take-off stage. There are indications that convenience stores with diversified services will be the focus of retail development in most areas of China in the next stage.
According to the development experience of foreign convenience store industry, the basic condition for the development of convenience store industry is that the per capita income of the region reaches 3000 US dollars. At present, the per capita GDP of China's first-tier cities, such as Shanghai, Beijing and Guangzhou, and second-tier cities, such as Shenzhen, Suzhou, Wuxi and Hangzhou, with a population of over 5 million, has exceeded $3,000. In other words, the above cities have the environment of large-scale development of convenience stores, and the market space is very large.
The scale of convenience store industry in China is far from saturation. Take Beijing, an economically developed city, as an example: according to the development law of convenience stores, every 3,000 people need a convenience store. With a population of 8 million, Beijing needs at least 2,000 convenience stores. According to the statistics of Beijing Municipal Commission of Commerce, there are only more than 300 convenience stores in Beijing at present, and there is still a lot of room for development.
The important difference between modern convenience stores and traditional convenience stores or grocery stores is that their services are diversified. Industry insiders suggest that under the current fierce competition in the overall commercial retail industry, traditional convenience stores or grocery stores can no longer achieve the advantage of "cross-industry competition" by selling goods, and entrepreneurs should expand the service functions of their stores. For example, the world-famous convenience store "7- 1 1" has continuously supplemented its services according to customers' requirements for many years, and expanded a number of 24-hour convenience services, including express delivery, deposit and withdrawal, fax, collection of utilities, reservation of air tickets and air tickets, film development and so on.
TOP3: health services such as pharmacies and health food stores.
With the improvement of Chinese people's knowledge level and income level, people pay more and more attention to the concept of health. Therefore, pharmacies and health food stores closely related to people's health are good entrepreneurial directions in Qian Jing.
Judging from the investment threshold, the investment threshold of comprehensive pharmacies or Chinese medicine stores is above 500,000 yuan on average, and the gross profit is around 35%, which is suitable for entrepreneurs with sufficient funds to develop for a long time.
Health food stores are divided into natural health drink stores and health food stores that emphasize health preservation and diet therapy. The cost of opening the latter is relatively high, with an average of about 400,000-600,000. However, the investment threshold of healthy beverage stores is relatively low, and the average cost of opening a store is about 10- 15000 yuan, which is not only easier to enter the business, but also has a gross profit of 60% at present. Once successful, it will be the fastest money-making industry in the health concept industry.
TOP4: garment industries such as processing, wholesale and retail.
Clothing and textile industry is a pillar industry that provides China with more than 9% GDP and more than 25% foreign exchange income every year. China's textile and garment exports account for 1/5 of the world's total textile and garment exports.
"Buddha depends on gold, people depend on clothes". Nowadays, people in China "all have a love for beauty", so there are huge business opportunities in the clothing industry in cities all over the country.
Take the children's wear market as an example. According to statistics, there are currently 380 million 0- 16 children in China, and the annual demand for children's wear is about 800 million. Authorities predict that in the next few years, China children's wear market will still grow at an annual rate of about 8%, which is one of the most growing markets in China.
From the perspective of personal investment and entrepreneurship, one way to start a business in the clothing industry is to run a clothing processing factory or a clothing processing studio. The most important point is that the design must keep up with the trend, otherwise the competitiveness is not great. Second, clothing can be sold in the market, wholesale or retail.
For entrepreneurs with little capital, opening a clothing retail store and completing the accumulation of original capital is the first step to success. Entrepreneurs with certain funds can open small sales companies, act as sales agents for clothing manufacturers, or enter the clothing wholesale market.
There are several advantages to investing in stalls in the clothing wholesale market: 1. The stalls in the wholesale market are fixed, which saves the renovation investment of entrepreneurs; 2. Clothing stalls gather and have rich customers, so it is easy to learn from peers in other stalls and sum up experiences and lessons. However, competition is inevitable, so the sales pressure is also the biggest difficulty for investment booths in the wholesale market.
TOP5: Beauty care, slimming and other beauty industries.
In the past, most of the people who wanted to start a business were men, but from the recent survey of the franchisee exhibition, the proportion of men and women who wanted to start a business has jumped to 1: 1.
Among other factors, the increase in women's willingness to start a business is also due to the fact that many women have seen business opportunities such as "cosmetic care" and "slimming and beautifying" specifically for their same sex in Qian Jing.
