| Is Small Scale Importation Still LUCRATIVE ? by osile2012(op): 7:43am On Jan 27, 2015 |
[size=15pt]With the current exchange rate of naira to dollar, is it still encouraging for small scale importers ? Assuming you import with N200,000 and have about 100pieces of an item, Now that the dollar has increased, you have to spread the increase accross each item to make up for it.This might increase the price by a large margin. However Someone who imports a container of the same item, when he spreads the increment across the items, the difference might not be much. So is it now better for someone who is importing with 200k to go and buy from the large scale importers, rather than importing themselves ?[/size] |

ITS DEPEND ON WHAT TYPE OF GOODS YOU'RE IMPORTING..i remember before the year run down i advice all newbie in importation business should stop until thing get well before they can resume but many refused to take my though... there are some kind of goods that no matter how much dollar increase you still make your profit.the only thing is it only reduce your profit but not to the instead that you wont even notice and those type of goods are light weight goods... another thing is after learning the importarion , one need to take time and create a market to what ever he or she want to be importing..then start supplying on demand as this is the only sweetness part of small scale importation business, when you have people or xustomers you are supplying to.. i am a small scale importer but i tell you not everything i want i import it NO...i buy some personal stuf here from others importer that have it in suplus...i enjoy fast delivery and 100% sure and secure delivary...infact even some stuff that i resell i order them from some importer here on nairaland and thats becouse i already have marker for such stuff and i sold them out at once and enjoy same day profit.. my finally advice is...leverage on others importer for now pending when things will be ok.

Davidolives:i never make any reference on any particular item to import but speak generally on light weight goods... i dont sell wristband in pcs but in bulk (contract) and wristband has no fixed price..you can sell in any amount as far as you think you can make profit from your price... |
