For small school supplies retail stores, the investment is generally relatively small. For example, a stationery store of about 30 square meters, including decoration, is expected to invest 25,000 yuan. Because stationery will not deteriorate, the investment is small and the risk is not great. Generally speaking, the profit of such shops is very high, which can reach more than 100%. As long as the monthly turnover reaches 4000 yuan, there will be no loss.

If you plan to invest in a stationery wholesale store, the investment will be relatively large. The main investment of wholesale stores lies in a large amount of money back and working capital. A medium-sized stationery wholesale store needs to invest about 500 thousand yuan, and the profit of office supplies wholesale store is not as high as that of retail store, which is about 10% to 20%.

Store rental fee: Generally, the area of a stationery store will not exceed 100 square meter, but the rent will not be cheap, because stationery stores generally need to be opened near schools or office areas. For example, the rent of Chen Guang stationery chain store is 40,000 yuan/year.

Decoration cost: different cities have different economic levels, and the decoration cost will be different. According to Bian Xiao, in the first, second and third tier cities, the decoration cost should be 600- 1000 yuan/square meter. Assuming simple decoration, the decoration cost should be at least 30 thousand yuan.

Cost of products and materials: according to the size of the store, the amount of goods laid in the store will be different. Therefore, in general, the cost of products required by chain stores should be between1-20,000 yuan.

Labor cost: Generally speaking, there are not many people in Chenguang stationery chain store, only 1-2 people. Therefore, based on the per capita monthly salary of 2,800 yuan, the quarterly labor cost is 1.68 million yuan.
