Let us know about one such great idea, which you can start in just Rs 500…
What business is this?
We are talking about ‘Homemade Healthy Snacks or Customized Gift Packaging’ business. Nowadays people have become very aware about their health. Instead of fried food items in the market, people prefer roasted makhana, roasted gram, healthy namkeen or dry fruits mixture. On the other hand, the craze for customized gift boxes is sky high on birthdays, anniversaries or festivals. You can choose any one of these options and start it from a small corner of your house.
How to start with just Rs 500?
Raw Material: For Rs 300, you can buy raw materials (like unroasted makhana, spices, or small transparent pouches with packaging) from the wholesale market.
Packaging and sticker: With the remaining Rs 200, you can buy a small logo or name printed sticker of your brand and beautiful packaging paper.
Starting on a small scale: You do not need a shop or warehouse on the first day. Prepare 5 to 10 sample packets at home.
How to reach the customer?
WhatsApp Status and Groups: Share clean and beautiful photos of your products on your phone’s contact list and family groups. First give the trial pack to your friends and relatives.
Instagram Reels: Make a short video while making or packing a product. Upload it to Instagram. In today’s time, local reels go viral very fast.
Local Shops and Cafes: You can talk to the owners of small grocery shops, bakeries or gyms near you. Show them your samples and offer to stock the goods at wholesale rates.
How much can you earn?
The biggest feature of this business is its high profit margin. Suppose the total cost of preparing 100 grams of roasted makhana or healthy mix and packing it in an attractive pouch is Rs 25 to 30. Such hygienic and homemade packets are easily sold in the market for Rs 60 to Rs 80. That means, you can get direct profit of Rs 30 to 40 on every packet. Even if you sell only 20 packets daily in the beginning, your savings amount to Rs 600 to 800. According to this, the net profit of the month can be from Rs 18,000 to Rs 24,000.
3 tips to be successful in this business
- You are doing work related to food or gifting, so take special care of purity and cleanliness. Once a customer likes your goods, he will come back to you again and again.
- People buy only what looks good to them. Give your product some attractive packaging with simple paper or ribbon.
- Keep your profit low in the beginning, so that more and more customers can join you. When demand increases in the market, you can decide your prices.
