How lucrative is the fireworks industry? The net profit of "Gatling" is 400%, and the daily income of small wholesalers is more than 10,000!
Let me ask you a question first, let you spend 70,000 yuan to buy a fireworks and firecrackers sales certificate, there are only 15 days a year to do business, are you willing?
When you are still thinking in front of the screen, many vendors selling fireworks have already earned more than 10,000 yuan during the Spring Festival. These people don't open for a year, they open for a year, and even the post-00s have joined the ranks of the fireworks seller.
For many years, it has been widely rumored that selling fireworks is an extremely profitable business, but the exact amount of income that fireworks sellers can earn each year has always been unknown.
In order to gain a better understanding of this issue, a small survey was conducted.
A post-00s college student became the subject of the investigation, he had tried a variety of part-time jobs before, including supermarket temporary ** clerk and restaurant waiter, etc., but these jobs can only earn a meager income of 100 yuan after a day of hard work.
This year, the college student chose a new entrepreneurial direction - setting up a stall at the entrance of the community***
He describes his work pattern: "Every day I start at 4 p.m. and finish at 6 p.m., then take a break after dinner and then go back to my stall until about 8:30 p.m. ”
What is surprising is that in these short three or four hours, his average daily income has reached five or six thousand yuan, and sometimes even more than ten thousand yuan, which is equivalent to the salary of ordinary wage earners in one month.
And, a significant advantage over other businesses is that it is often in a "seller's market" position.
As long as a booth is set up at the entrance of the university or community, there is almost no need for too much publicity, and parents and young couples with children will take the initiative to ask**. Surprisingly, these leads have a very high turnover rate, and almost everyone will buy some fireworks to take home with them.
Especially compared to previous years, this year's fireworks control measures have been significantly relaxed. As a result, many people choose to buy fireworks to add to the "New Year's flavor" of the festival, which also makes the fireworks business particularly prosperous this year.
During this Spring Festival, some people even spend 10,000 yuan to buy a large number of fireworks to enjoy the thrill and pleasure of burning 100 yuan in that minute. At the same time, there are also some people who keenly grasp this business opportunity and realize the dream of earning more than 10,000 yuan a day through this boom.
Of course, you can't make money by doing anything without a brain, and there is naturally a way to sell fireworks. Large fireworks and long firecrackers should be sold in rural areas and urban-rural areas, while small and fine fireworks can be sold in cities. And high-end fireworks tens of thousands of yuan a barrel to cooperate with the department, some places will focus on fireworks displays during the Spring Festival.
This year, China's fireworks industry is growing rapidly, and the sales volume of Liuyang, Hunan Province in the first two months of the Spring Festival in 2024 has reached 40 billion, which is still the factory share, and the retail sales are estimated to be about 150 billion.
First of all, there have been a lot of fireworks in the past two years. In a small town in Liuyang, there is a fireworks wholesaler, he sells a lot of fireworks, in the past two years popular "Gatling" fireworks as an example, last year when he first purchased, the cost of each "Gatling" was 25 yuan, due to the market demand at that time, he decided to sell at 50 yuan.
Soon, a large number of commissary owners approached him to buy goods, and for a while, "Gatling" was in short supply. In the end, when the market demand reached its peak, he set the price of each "Gatling" at 80 yuan, and the cost of each was only 25 yuan, so his gross profit margin was as high as 240%!
The second is that fireworks retail** is opaque. The same are "Gatling", the difference in the price in the market is significant, some merchants are priced at 80 yuan, while some dare to mark 280 yuan **, even so, its profit can still easily exceed 10 times, and it can still be sold.
Because many people have not seen it, some emerging fireworks varieties and niche high-end fireworks, ** is even more confusing, and the price of selling depends on the traders' mouths. Classic firecrackers such as the Second Kicker and Torpedo King are difficult to ask for at will, and customers can compare them with last year.
For some fireworks products with relatively low unit prices, such as fairy sticks and flying jellyfish, it is not very rare to achieve dozens of times the profit.
It is precisely because of the relatively low purchase cost and the opacity of the market that the fireworks market will experience large fluctuations during the Spring Festival every year, which provides excellent opportunities for traders to make money.
The popularity of the fireworks market has a lot to do with the blandness of the "New Year's flavor", and many young people now want to get back the warm and beautiful memories of the Spring Festival in their childhood, and fireworks and firecrackers are the best carriers. Food, Spring Festival Gala and red envelopes can no longer stimulate the brains of the post-00s and post-90s, after all, everyone has grown up, and the 500 yuan red envelope is not much power for adults who have taken a salary.
