How about the hardware industry? Is it profitable or not?

China's hardware industry has always maintained a trend of rapid development since the early nineties of the last century, and has become an important producer of hardware products in the world, but it is undeniable that China's hardware industry has a large gap with the world's hardware industry in many aspects such as product research and development, innovation, brand management, marketing management, enterprise scale, financial strength, etc. In terms of market share, China's share of the total international market share is very low, which is not commensurate with the identity of a major producer of hardware products. The reason is that China's hardware products are still in a low-grade, low-price primary state.

On the one hand, this gap has brought many obstacles to the development of the hardware industry, but also let us see the huge market potential, as long as we improve their own technical content, China's hardware products to become bigger and stronger The road is still broad.

The hardware industry needs to gradually establish its own independent technological innovation system. The development of new product projects, must cross the stage of imitating foreign products, only the independent development of new products that are not at home and abroad is the real product innovation, in order to occupy the international market, and strive to open up the domestic and foreign markets. Scientific and technological innovation is the key to the development of the hardware industry, in which the application of new materials, new processes and new technologies can not only improve the quality and performance of hardware products, but also lead the industry trend and increase market share.

Increasing the adjustment of industrial structure is also a problem that the hardware industry needs to solve. China's hardware industry enterprises are small, the problem of overcapacity of low-end products has been a long time, we need to cultivate a number of advantageous backbone enterprises as soon as possible through the survival of the fittest, mergers and acquisitions, so that China's hardware industry in the competition with multinational enterprises as soon as possible bigger and stronger.

According to industry insiders, with the efforts of the whole hardware manufacturing industry, by 2010, the level of China's hardware manufacturing industry will be significantly improved, and some enterprises are expected to reach the international advanced level; By 2020, China's hardware manufacturing industry will reach the international advanced level as a whole. Therefore, the development potential of the hardware industry is huge and the market prospect is broad.

The hardware industry is not good to do, there may be profits in the export business, the domestic business is too ruthless, there is no play, if the hardware production, it will become a sandwich cake, there are customers to reduce the price and arrears, there are workers to raise wages and lazy, so that you might as well keep the money in the bank.

Beijing Jinqiao Shichuang is a first-class business of well-known brands such as Dorma and Häfele in China. The company also has its own GBPI shower room products. We welcome your inquiry.

1. Hardware is the mother of industrial engineering, is the prospect good? Asking this question shows that you don't know much about the hardware industry. 2How much does it cost to open in Wuzhong?

I don't know Wu Zhong, but generally Wu Zhong people don't know about hardware, both know Wu Zhong and understand hardware must be Wu Zhong's successful boss, will they come here to teach you to grab his job? 3What procedures are required? The first thing to do business is how to survive in the fierce competition, not the formalities, and this only needs to be known by going to the ** department.

4. I think the landlord should be able to succeed in preparing 1 million start-up capital. Specifically, it is like this: first take out 1 10 funds to open a store, and then invest 1 10 funds ,...... if you loseIt should have mastered the ingenuity in the industry before the capital chain broke.

The gross profit of the hardware store is also relatively high, but the time occupied is relatively long, usually the amount of incoming and outgoing goods is relatively small, and the gross profit is not large, only about 20% to 30%.

There are usually two types of profit composition for hardware and grocery stores.

1. Sell daily hardware and groceries, such as: light bulbs, wires, water pipes, faucets and other shower room equipment; Maintenance tools such as: screwdrivers, electrician's pliers, wrenches, throat pliers, electric pens, forceps, etc.; Groceries such as paper towels, toilet paper, electric kettles, induction cookers, thermos flasks, water cups, electric fans, floor mops, brooms, trash cans.

2. It is a service category, such as matching keys, door-to-door wires, network cables, dredging sewers, unlocking, repairing small household appliances, etc., which are the scope of door-to-door services.

Precautions for opening a hardware store

Therefore, to be a qualified hardware and grocery store owner, you must be an electrician, a locksmith, a plumbing worker, an electrical repairman, a sewer dredging expert, if the craftsmanship is good, it is naturally more work.

In addition, as a hardware grocery store actually has a certain risk, the greater risk is that their craftsmanship is not strong, no one to do the work themselves, but generally speaking, science and engineering men are only not good at words are rarely poor hands-on ability, and another risk is that too many hardware and grocery stores are piled up to open stores, resulting in bad competition is also a relatively big risk.

The profit of the hardware store is OK, but the competition is bigger, and it is easy to do business or small competition, and now there are many special products. You can check it out. I went to a friend the other day and saw that a wall decoration product was also ok.

They painted a large picture in their living room, which he said was painted on the wall with tools by ordinary workers. The effect is realistic when viewed up close. I asked a friend to learn that this painting is called Tianyi background, and now this kind of wall painting is very popular, he originally wanted to make this wall painting, but unfortunately the city he wanted to do, someone has already done it, and he can't continue to sign it.

Hardware stores are usually run together with groceries, and rarely do pure hardware, so its profit composition:

Bathroom equipment such as water pipes, barges, forks, sluices, faucets, sprinklers; Power equipment, such as lights, wires, fuses, sockets, power switches, leakage switches, etc.; Maintenance tools, electrical tape, such as screwdrivers, electrical pliers, wrenches, throat pliers, electric pens, forceps, etc.; Groceries such as paper towels, toilet paper, electric kettles, induction cookers, thermos flasks, water cups, electric fans, floor mops, brooms, trash cans.

Hardware business is generally not too good to do retail test, go engineering, run the construction site yourself have to run the business, at the beginning of the business is not good to do, it is recommended that you start into a place where the hardware is more concentrated, the popularity must be good, it is best to form a long old market and a good location, or it is very difficult to have customers, rely on other stores to pull merchants for you, generally do hardware local conditions are more difficult, this is a common problem of hardware.

It is not easy to do in the early stage, the main relationship is few, it is still okay after a long time, the investment is not too much, and the rent is not a small expense.

The most important thing is persistence. That's what it is.

The profit is about 20.

The profit of the hardware store is not a single existence, depending on the specific situation of the store, there will be a good market in the first and larger demand areas, if you can attract some old customers for a long time, you will naturally have a good income.

For a hardware store, the necessary costs mainly include franchise fees, leasing fees, decoration fees, purchase fees, labor costs, water and electricity costs, etc.

According to the economic level of medium-sized cities, the rent of a 30 50-square-meter shop is 4,000 yuan per month, that is, 480,000 yuan a year; The decoration fee is 400 yuan per square meter, a total of 20,000 yuan; The first purchase fee is about 10,000 yuan.

Notes:

1. There is no special skill in the purchase of hardware stores, shop around, run more and see more, ask more and learn more, and take into account the cost of ** and time.

2. What hardware stores need to improve is nothing more than to be as fair as possible and improve service and user experience.

Small hardware stores make about tens of thousands of profits a year, hardware stores are low-cost and high-profit, hardware stores have 50% of the profits, and may even reach more than 100%, and even more than ten times. For example, the screws in the hardware store, the purchase price is calculated by the catty, but the sale of the excitation stove is calculated by the number of pieces, don't look at his usual business is cold, there is no customer flow, but he can earn tens of thousands of dollars a year. Because the hardware store is a warehouse and service station, everyone goes to the hardware store to buy things and leaves, no one takes the hardware store as a shopping mall, so that opening a hardware store saves the decoration cost.

No one doesn't come to your store because the decoration of your hardware store is not beautiful. Hardware stores don't need to do activities**, and if you don't pretend to be simple, someone will buy more because they buy a screwdriver and get one free.

As we all know, the profits of the hardware industry are relatively high, and the markup rate of many hardware products is as high as 100% to 200%, and the average markup rate is as high as 30% to 40%, which is not seen in many industries.

Hardware store investment precautions:

The number of investments in opening a hardware store needs to be determined according to the scale, and its main costs include store rent, staff salaries, and purchases. The risk of investing in opening a hardware store is also relatively large, after all, the labor cost and material cost are not a small amount, but if it is bigger, the income is also very considerable.

Precautions for running a hardware store:

Print your business cards and do more sales and presentations. You can't be "lazy" to open a hardware store, and you can send it as much as possible to deliver it, and it doesn't matter if it's a little higher. To open a hardware store, it is expensive to have all the goods, and try to enter all kinds of models.

The service attitude should be good, and when customers buy inappropriate things, they will be replaced if they can be replaced, and they will be refunded if they cannot be exchanged. When dealing with reputable and frequent customers, it is possible to owe debts, but this needs to be grasped well. <>
