Make more selling rain gear

The rainy season is here once again and you may wonder what kind of fast selling products and services you can sell/offer to make money during this period.

All you need to do is to take advantage of the challenges of the season to make money. Now that the rains are here, it is no longer news that it will affect the movement of people, especially those who don’t own cars, as they will need some items to keep them going during down pour. Some of them are:

UMBRELLAS

An entrepreneurial coach, Mr. Abiodun Esho, advised that you can start selling umbrellas. As we all know that umbrellas are needed by everyone, be it men, women, kids and employees because the rain is not a respecter of persons, either rich or poor. For instance, foot soldiers/ marketers, who represent organisations, are compelled to go out in order to meet their targets. For people like this, the usage of umbrellas is inevitable, even if they have access to pool cars. Observation has revealed that umbrellas hardly last more than a season. People tend to lose their umbrellas as they easily forget to take them along when, while riding in commercial vehicles especially, and it ceases to drizzle. The implication of this is that there will be high demands for this protective material throughout the rainy season.

RAINCOATS

You can also start selling raincoats as both adults and children need them. Even bike riders and those who work outdoors are not left out. While some job descriptions make it difficult for people to use umbrellas while at work, raincoats may come in handy for such individuals. For example, use of raincoats by dispatch riders and security guards seems to be more appropriate for this category of people because of the nature of their job.

RECALL

  • Startup capital is little, but high profit
  • You don’t need to rent a space for your business
  • Items to sell are available

To this end, raincoats have become part of the valuable gear for you to get going during rainy season and since the rainy season does not last forever, it gives you the race to quickly make some money while it still drizzles.

Courier organisations with a lot of dispatch riders, construction companies, other corporate organisations as well as private and public schools constitute the target market for your business. It is also important that you brand the coats by inscribing the name of their brand on them in order to bring out the uniqueness of the items.

RAIN BOOTS

You can also make brisk business selling these item as they will be worn during the rainy season as a protection for the legs while wading through flooded areas on foot after heavy rain. The truth is that rain boots are not just needed while it is still pouring, they are also needed after the downpour might have ceased, but when the ground is still wet.

Floors of some commercial centers are not just wet, they are also muddy and sometimes slippery, making it difficult for people to walk as they do not want to soil their leather shoes and sandals. Just like the raincoats, some rainboots are fashionably designed to serve the purpose of protecting your feet during rain and also to add to the beauty of the one wearing it. So, you are not just targeting construction companies and road workers, you can also target individual business-oriented people, who want to prevent their feet from getting soiled while appearing presentable.

WINDSCREEN WIPER BLADES

The first thing that comes to mind here is that there may not be much demand for blades probably because they are items that last as long as three years or more. But an important fact a lot of people seem to be ignorant of is that some blades that are exposed to the heat get stiff and when the rain starts they become ineffective in wiping off water and steam.

So, car owners, who do not want to experience a cloudy vision when it rains, may be compelled to change the wiper blades and some negligent motorists, whose wiper blades were removed, may not replace it until it starts to rain. People like that are waiting to buy new ones this season.

In this regard, Esho explained that your strategy towards selling as many wiper blades as possible should be unique. According to him, you may not have to wait till it starts raining before you approach transportation and logistics companies with a lot of vehicles, stressing the need for them to change their wiper blades in order to prevent avoidable accidents.

“This may be more profitable than you can imagine as the cost of individual wiper blade sale may not be much, but the transaction and deal sealed per organisation will surely make you smile to the bank,” he said.
