Below in the article we have provided a list of the most popular production ideas for small businesses. To make it more convenient for you to decide on a particular business, each idea will be considered based on the following criteria:

In addition, before bringing a business idea to life, analyze the market, purchasing power and competition in your city or region.

A few words should be said separately about competition. Of course, the easiest way to start production is in an area where there is little or no competition. Such niches can be found in almost every city. But in this situation, it is important to understand that in some of them the demand for products may be narrow or limited.

As for high competition, there is no need to be afraid of it - if it exists, then this indicates, first of all, that this product is in great demand among the population. This means that if you position yourself correctly, you can always take your place in the market.

❗️ Advice from personal experience:
Do not invest a lot of money into production right away, especially if you are not sure that the business will take off. Start small, and once you are sure that the goods you produce are in good demand, expand production.

Please also keep in mind that product sales plays a key role in production, so you need to pay special attention!

This is a fairly profitable business, and most importantly, in demand among the population - on average, the demand for decorative stone is growing by 10% annually.

Here it is important, as in any production, to first of all organize the sale of products. For example, regular cooperation with finishers often makes it possible to organize constant sales of artificial stone.

3. Sales are a key element of any production! Personal experience and useful recommendations

And now let’s devote a little time to one of the most important moments in production - sales of products . Below I will briefly try to explain why, before producing anything, it is important to clearly understand how exactly the product will be sold.

I really hope that the experience described will be useful to any of you and will allow you not to step on the same rake that I did when opening my own business.

In my practice, I have been convinced more than once that it is often poorly established and unstable sales that lead to the fact that a business never begins to make a profit or brings in very little.

In life, it usually happens that many beginning entrepreneurs first invest money, start producing something, and only then think about selling their products (and sometimes have no idea at all how to sell their products).

⚡️ It is important!
Any production lives only through the sale of products: no sales ➡️ no sales ➡️ no business ! Therefore, before starting a business, carefully plan through which sales channels and how the products will be sold!

remember, that Sales is the basis of any business! The success of your business depends 80% on sales!

As for sales, there are 2 main channels for selling products:

• directly to the client (for example: through your own retail outlets/shops/offices; through advertising, newspaper advertisements and bulletin boards; through your website and/or group on social networks, word of mouth…);
• through wholesale and retail intermediaries (for example, it is a very common practice to give intermediaries products for sale, since this does not oblige them to anything, most of them will agree to cooperate).

In order to build a stable and successful business for production, analyze and work out all the sales options currently available to you. After all, often until you try, you won’t know which sales channel will generate the main income.

By the way, also use Internet to find new clients— many people underestimate him, but in vain. For example, I know many entrepreneurs for whom the Avito bulletin board is almost the only source of clients, and at that it’s free!

Here are some more tips from my personal experience:

1️⃣ It will always be useful analyze the market , pricing and evaluate competition. As I already mentioned, the presence of competition is not always bad; on the contrary, it indicates that this or that niche is in demand by the market!

As for demand, it can be approximately estimated in your city/region using an online statistics service Wordstat(wordstat.yandex.ru) from Yandex. And with the help of bulletin boards (Avito, for example), you can test demand even before you start producing anything!

2️⃣ It won’t hurt to make a small business plan on the chosen idea (especially for beginners in business). Just don’t need to compile it into 50 sheets, do detailed calculations... - this will not be of much use, because, as a rule, in life everything turns out completely differently than on paper.

It will be enough to describe the idea on just a few sheets of paper in order to simply understand from the inside how the business works and how it functions, what is important and what is not...

3️⃣ For a business to be successful, it is very important to find your strengths and differentiate yourself from competitors. For example, you can stand out due to low prices, product quality, high level service, delivery speed, etc. Describe your ideal client and focus on his main preferences and interests.

4️⃣ I do not recommend starting entrepreneurs to start producing any innovative products , for which there is still no demand. This requires a lot of experience and quite large investments, since in practice, out of 10 new products, only 1-2 are launched!

❗️ Therefore, it is better for beginners to start with goods for which there is already a steady demand.🙂

5️⃣ Dedicate yourself to your work completely and with love . There is no need to act half-heartedly and with thoughts: it may work out, or it may not. Have a clear vision that it will only happen the way you intended. And of course, do your business with love for people, then you will definitely achieve success!

4. Conclusion

In conclusion, I would like to add, don’t be afraid to start your own business - try and take action! Of course, mistakes will be made along the way, but this is completely normal - they learn from mistakes, and only those who do nothing make mistakes!

Therefore, have more self-confidence and remember that the modern world is a world of enormous opportunities in which everyone can take their place! It all depends on you and your aspirations!
