How Profitable Is Doughnut Business? by EzendiEgo1: 10:45am On Sep 25, 2018
Please I need help, I just started learning how to make snacks like doughnut and Meat pie from YouTube and I plan to distribute to people that will hawk and I plan to distribute to shops around me also,

Reason why I want to distribute it to hawk.. is because of my job.

I want to know if this business is lucrative... please if you are someone who knows much about this business please put me through.... how do I package them that would make them look attractive, what's the cost of production, how do I make profit?

This is my estimation:

Let assumed I have 3 hawks and 1 co-maker and we makes around 150 doughnut at the cost of #50 each, I will be making around #7500.
How achievable is this estimation,Please guru here should help me out.

As with any "products" business the fundamentals are thesame.
1. Production. 2. Marketing. 3. Distribution.4. Logistics. 5. Sales.
1. First get an honest appraisal of how good your snacks are from a chef who has years of experience. You could pay one to sample your snacks. This is important as people normally never return to bad products.
2. If above is fine then open an Instagram and Facebook business page for your business.
3. The above is free marketing and hopefully sales.
4. You can Google search local,hotels,schools,event centres,offices etc. These are few but good leads for business.
5. In "my opinion" this should be your first starting point. As it keeps costs minimal(hawking etc).
6. As your brand hopefully expands and your market penetration increases then you can fork out expenses for hawking.
Either way you go good luck with your endeavour.

In America or Nigeria?

For Nigeria open close to a secondary school...in America or Canada open close to a Police station.

Trust me you won't need marketing to sellout every single day that school is in session and Police no dey close.

Anything edible is lucrative, especially if you have a busy environment like Lagos, you just need proper planning like the one you currently have which is not bad. Well done, OP.

churches now order snacks on Sunday for their congregation, I know of redeem. 250 from my friend every Sunday,
then, go to a major junction and get a space, my friend is making 8k daily just from puff puff and doughnuts , I can teach you. very easy to make them, puff puff is very profitable as well, but you need to learn that on the job. goodluck

if she already has an account on the socal media,

she can advertise it there

and if she does not have any social media handle, she can creat one, there is nothing wrong with her opening one for her business purposes
