Trade in fast food, cotton candy, popcorn and other things

The production of donuts, cotton candy, and popcorn is one of the win-win options for a summer business. Its profitability is high, because children love goodies and sweets. The purchasing price of raw materials for their production is significantly lower than the selling price. The number of sales also depends on the right location.

The demand for soft drinks in summer is quite high. Who doesn’t want to pamper themselves with cold beer or kvass in the heat? We advise aspiring entrepreneurs to adopt one of the most current business ideas. It has several undeniable advantages: high profitability and huge demand. Despite the competition, you can make good money in business.

To implement the idea you need:

1. Conclude a lease agreement for the territory.
2. Find a supplier that offers fresh and tasty products.
3. Invite staff. Perhaps at first the entrepreneur will engage in trade himself, but as the outlets increase, people will be needed.

Let's calculate the necessary expenses when selling carbonated drinks:

• Rent a place – 10,000 rubles.
• Purchase of drinks – 50,000 rubles.

The profit from one barrel sold is 5,000 rubles. per day, for the season the expected income is 160,000 rubles.

Organization of professional photo and video shooting

While spending a vacation at a resort, everyone would like to have memorable photos of their summer vacation in order to remember pleasant moments and show them to family and friends. This suggests that by organizing a photography and videography business, a professional photographer can make good money. The photography business is very profitable and investments in it quickly pay off.

The main expenses will be on the purchase of a professional camera - from 50,000 to 100,000 rubles. However, if there are regular customers, the invested funds can be returned within a month.

Based on the fact that:

• Half an hour of photography (15 pictures) costs 1,000 rubles.
• An hour of photography (30 photos) – 1,500-2,000 rubles.
• Two hours in different places (60 photos) – 3,000 rubles.

It is enough to have only 5 clients a day for a beginning photographer to earn about 60,000 rubles. monthly. Shooting in medieval clothes, a carriage, on a throne, etc. may be of additional interest to vacationers.

Sale of tickets for concerts, exhibitions, excursions

Also, a novice entrepreneur can organize the sale of tickets for concerts, exhibitions, and excursions in the resort area, which is very convenient for vacationers. Not everyone wants to stand in line at the box office for tickets to a popular play or ballet.

No special investment in business is required, since tickets can be distributed along the beach. If you need a stationary point of sale, then renting 1 square meter of premises will cost 500-2,500 rubles. per month. For the distribution of tickets, an agreement is concluded with representatives of theaters and philharmonic societies.

Organization of excursions and events

Creating an excursion business most often attracts specialists who are already familiar with this field of activity. In the summer, there is usually a large influx of vacationers, so you can make good money. It is best to sell tickets for excursions in hotels, boarding houses, and near the station, where a large number of visitors are concentrated.

To develop an excursion business, you can establish business connections with entrepreneurs who provide services for organizing horseback riding, diving, boat trips, etc.

What costs will be required to implement a business idea:

1. Renting a bus for excursions – 900-1,700 rubles. at one o'clock.
2. Renting a place to sell tickets – from RUB 5,000.
3. Prices for excursions are calculated depending on the amount of money spent, the number of clients and the planned profit of the organizer.

Renting housing

Having owned real estate, you can easily implement such a profitable business idea as renting out housing. Daily rentals will bring much higher profits than long-term rentals. No special investments are required, but the rented premises must be clean, and even better if it has at least cosmetic repairs.

To arrange housing you will need:

• All necessary furniture - beds, TV, tables, chairs, etc.
• Household appliances – refrigerator, washing machine, cooking stove.
• Clean sets of bed linen, dishes, towels.

After the next residents have moved out, cleaning and washing should be done. After this, you can move in new people.

Considering that in coastal cities the cost of daily rent can reach:

• For a 1-room apartment up to 2,000 rubles. per day.

In contact with

Classmates

People living near recreation areas have an excellent opportunity to make money in the summer. Any business ideas at sea related to ensuring the comfort of vacationers are relevant.

The benefit is obvious: the markup in retail trade and services ranges from 150%. But the competition is also high.

To stand out, you need original ideas.

Trade in food and drinks

You can sell any product:

• homemade baked goods;
• fruits and juices;
• kvass, beer;
• ice cream;
• cold drinks.

First of all, you need to agree on a place. With whom exactly depends on the situation.

Usually we are talking about sublease or spontaneous trade.

Local authorities transfer plots of land for use for summer cafes and other relatively large establishments. And then, after lengthy approvals, often lasting months.

To sell drinks or ice cream, you need to buy or rent a storefront or freezer (the price of both is about 30 thousand rubles).

It is quite possible to sell goods for a short period of time.

In the worst case, you will have to take out a loan to purchase it.

If funds allow, it is worth purchasing a machine for making ice cream, frozen juice and yoghurt (60 thousand rubles).

You can supplement the household with a coffee machine (45 thousand rubles), and place several outdoor tables nearby (a set of table and 4 chairs costs 3 thousand rubles).

Of particular interest to budding entrepreneurs is the sale of food products (juices and waters, boiled corn, buns) on the beach.

The activity is, in fact, illegal. But due to the lack of a trading place, it is very difficult to bring violators to justice.

Off-site preparation of sweets

Most tourists go to the sea “savage”. Therefore, the issue of food and snacks in the recreation area is mega-relevant.

Business ideas at sea relate to trade:

• popcorn;
• cotton candy;
• donuts;
• pies.

All such options are budget-friendly and do not require special investments. It is assumed that you need to buy one device.

For example, the price of equipment for making popcorn or cotton candy is 12 thousand rubles.

If you start preparing for the summer season in advance, you can rent or buy used equipment.

Trade in non-food products

When going on vacation, people try to stock up on everything they need in advance. But not everyone is organized enough.

The following always sell well in the resort area:

• swimwear;
• bijouterie;
• towels, sun umbrellas, protective creams;
• small things - combs, razors, toothbrushes, wet wipes.

Many people want to keep souvenirs of their summer vacation.

Remote selling of souvenirs is a very profitable business.

Profitability during the season is about 200%, with the largest markup being made on the cheapest goods.

Organizing such activities does not present any difficulties. It is enough to agree on a place to place the counter.

Organization of attractions

Vacationers want to have an interesting time. In summer, any stationary or portable attractions are relevant.

Among them:

• pneumatic, archery, crossbow and dart shooting ranges;
• cars, velomobiles;
• roller rental;
• trampolines;
• slides;
• alpine parks;
• making medallions and coins.

Each of these options has its own advantages and disadvantages.

For a new entrepreneur without start-up capital, budget-friendly ideas for portable attractions, such as throwing darts at balloons, are suitable.

In the summer, these are good ideas for activities for both children and adults.

Paid playgrounds and entertainment with animators are in demand.

It’s a good idea to organize foam discos. To implement it, an initial investment of 50 thousand rubles is required. and an agreement with a summer restaurant to use its dance floor.

Expenses: foam generator – 30 thousand rubles; soap solution - 4 thousand rubles. for a 15 liter canister.

With a load of 100 visitors and a ticket price of 150 rubles. the income from the venture will be 15 thousand rubles. for every disco. The investment will pay off in two weeks.

Extraordinary entertainment with extreme elements

There are many interesting ideas.

An example is the organization of hang gliding flights.

Among the water attractions, the most popular are jet skiing and water skiing.

A more relaxing activity is fishing from a boat or boat.

Each of these options requires starting capital. But the purchased equipment quickly pays for itself.

For example, the cost of a jet ski (45 thousand rubles) is returned to its owner as profit after just two months of operation.

True, all such types of activities require certain skills, physical training and dexterity from the entrepreneur.

Acting at his own peril and risk, he is responsible for harm caused to the client.

Land-based entertainment options seem much less risky:

• horse rides;
• photographing with exotic animals;
• costume parties in nature;
• hiking trips.

Services

The influx of vacationers in the summer creates a rush of demand for regular services.

Business ideas at sea can involve using your professional skills and abilities.

Mega in demand:

• massage therapists;
• cosmetologists;
• manicure and pedicure specialists;
• makeup artists;
• hairdressers.

How can a professional make money in the summer?

Purely summer services are especially popular in recreation areas - afro braids and henna tattoos.

Practice shows that the services of craftsmen in these areas become at least three times more expensive during the season. In your own business you can earn up to 15 thousand rubles. per month.

We are used to the fact that we go to the sea to relax. However, we can also go there in order to make money from vacationers - this will allow us not only to pay for travel and decent accommodation, but also to save enough money so that later, for the rest of the year, we will not have any need.

If you like this perspective, then be sure to read this article to the end, and, most likely, among the 10 business ideas proposed here, you will be able to find one that will help you make good money.

Idea 1. Draw portraits.

To do this you need to be able to draw. However, to be honest, no special talents are required from you, since it is enough to draw relatively similar and not particularly offensive cartoons. Sit on the embankment or walk along the beach, and within 2 minutes you will have your first client. And as soon as he starts posing for you, dozens of other vacationers will immediately want you to draw them too.

Idea 2. With a camera on the beach.

Anyone can make money photographing vacationers. All you need for this is a Polaroid or digital camera. The first one is, of course, more convenient. But, if you bring a printer for printing photos and a laptop, you can give your clients pictures right on the spot. This is what will increase your chances of making money tenfold - not many people like to give money to a stranger, not knowing whether he will bring their pictures the next day or not.

Idea 3. We sell cold water.

For this business, you will need portable refrigerators, which you can buy in a store, or you can make yourself from plywood and polystyrene foam. By the way, they perfectly maintain a low temperature in any heat. We fill the refrigerators with bottles of ice water, taking as much as we can carry, and go to the beach, where vacationers languishing under the rays of the summer sun will, of course, buy all your goods from you within five minutes.

Idea 4. We rent fins and masks.

For this business we buy inexpensive scuba diving kits. Then we settle down on any beach we like, and wait for the people vacationing there to give us money for the right to dive with our masks and fins. We take money in advance, and to avoid problems with someone not returning their fins or mask within the prescribed period, or even losing or breaking them, we require a deposit from each client, which we do not return until it covers all damages. losses for them.

Idea 5. Professional bully.

This business has long been successfully practiced on many beaches around the world. Its essence lies in the fact that you offer your services to those men who want to make a lasting impression on their ladies. Under the guise of a hooligan, you begin to pester such a man or his lady, he gives you a rebuff, and at the same time a couple of blows, you retreat in shame, everyone considers him a hero and... And at the same time, no one knows that the man paid for the opportunity to show himself a winner 300 or 500 rubles for you.

Idea 6. Diving instructor.

If you are engaged in diving, and at the same time you have the appropriate certificate and several spare scuba gear, then feel free to load them on a train or plane and go to the sea, as there you can earn decent money from your hobby. The essence of earning money is very simple - you will give scuba diving lessons to everyone, and after 5 days of such lessons you will swim with them to admire the beauty of the seabed.

Idea 7. Beach doctor.

You don't even need to be a doctor for this business, although it would still be nice to have a white coat with a red cross sewn on the chest. Having put it on, you will walk along the beach, offering everyone to measure (not for free, of course) blood pressure. You will do this using an electronic device, charging 10-15 rubles for each measurement. If we assume that in an hour you can serve from 20 to 30 clients, then it is easy to calculate that your total monthly earnings will be about $3,000.

Idea 8. Fishing with access to the sea.

And for this business you will need a boat and a couple of fishing rods. Only thanks to them will you be able to take everyone (and there are quite a few of them) further out to sea, where they will fish, paying you not for the number of fish they catch, but for every hour spent on board.

Idea 9. Fitness lessons.

And one more idea that does not require any investment from you. Although no, you still have to buy a tape recorder. But this is the only expense you will face. The business itself assumes that you will create one-time fitness groups, which you will train right on the beach or on the embankment. Class time is 30-45 minutes. Price – from 1 US dollar and above. Everything else depends on your level of training and endurance. If you can conduct 10 classes during the day, that means you can make good money.

Idea 10. Beach nanny.

And again - not a penny of cost! They are simply not needed to make money as a beach nanny. You simply gather along the beach all the kids whose parents want to finally swim in peace or just sunbathe, spend an hour or two with them, for which you get paid. The only thing that is required from you is kindness and attention. And, of course, the ability to come up with various games so that the kids have fun with you. In a day or two, the entire huge beach will know about you, which means that every parent will become your potential client.

As you can see, by going to the sea you can make really good money. Moreover, the business ideas proposed here are far from the only ones, and you can always add to them the one that suits only you.

During vacation, people are ready to spend money and you must create conditions under which vacationers will be happy to use your services. If you live in a resort area, consider starting a seasonal business. There are many options - from selling ice cream to opening a hotel.

In the summer, many entrepreneurs experience a “dead season” - business comes to a standstill, there is almost no income, clients disappear somewhere. In the fall, everyone will return to the cities, and now it’s time to relax, go to the sea and allow yourself to relax and have fun. If you live in a coastal city, your busy season is coming and it would be a shame not to take advantage of it.

People need your services, and you simply must create an environment in which vacationers will be willing to pay for your efforts. A beach business will bring good profits if you think through everything and prepare it in advance. The money earned in the summer will be enough to live comfortably until the next season.

1. Own hotel

A promising business that requires fundamental investment. You will receive income for many years, but first you need to build a fashionable hotel with comfortable rooms and provide a high level of service.

Construction in our country is not a cheap pleasure; a square meter will cost no less than $3,000-4,000. In addition, you need to pay for the purchase of land and registration of the relevant documents, provide for the costs of paying staff, utilities, etc. The return on such investments will be a good, but full payback will have to wait several years.

2. Housing for rent

In coastal areas there is always a demand for any kind of housing - from fashionable cottages to modest outbuildings with basic amenities and rooms in city apartments. Vacationers with different financial capabilities come to resorts, so you can:

• Rent out your own home. Investments are not needed, but earnings are no more than $10 per day.
• Buy housing for rent. The cost of acquiring square meters will be significant, but you will be able to accommodate more vacationers.
• Build a building specifically for vacationers. This option is the most expensive, in many ways similar to opening your own hotel; the business is designed for the long term.

3. Rental (sunbeds, sun loungers, masks, fins)

This method will work if you sit on an unequipped pebble beach. If there are sun loungers on the shore, you can rent air mattresses, circles, etc. The hourly rental price should not be high. In areas where there are conditions for surfing, training and board rentals can be organized. Diving with appropriate equipment and support can also be arranged.

4. Trade in food and drinks

In this case, it seems that additional explanations are not needed - shrimp, seeds, ice cream, pies, corn, water, beer... Markup - up to 300%. A simple and timeless business that requires the patience and health to walk along the beach all day with full bags.

Financial costs - about 350 thousand rubles for the purchase of necessary products and obtaining permission from the SES. But many private entrepreneurs do without the latter, start with a minimum starting capital and make a profit - from 20 thousand rubles per month.

5. Massage on the beach

Business on the beach is relevant for no more than four months a year, but it can be so profitable that it will ensure the entrepreneur’s existence until the next season. To implement some ideas, $500-700 is enough.

This way of earning money is suitable for medical students and massage therapists. The starting investment is minimal: a massage table and a tent. You will also need permission from the administration to place a mobile massage parlor. On average, an hour of massage costs between $5 and $10.

6. Luggage storage

The idea is not new, but storage lockers are still a novelty on our beaches. The need for a safe place where you can leave money, belongings, keys and other valuables is obvious, but only 40% of beaches can offer vacationers this simple service.

Sections with storage rooms are installed near water attractions. The beach administration usually does not object to the placement of storage rooms and provides space for free or for a minimal fee. The cost of a cell is about 10 rubles per hour. The investment in the purchase of sections with cameras is 40,000 rubles, the operator’s salary is 15,000 rubles. per month The investment pays off within one month.

The profit will be even greater if storage lockers are equipped with charging for mobile phones and e-books. Along the way, you can sell the latest newspapers and beach accessories.

7. Beauty service

This niche is practically unoccupied, although on all the beaches of the world, vacationers enjoy getting their hair done, temporary tattoos, manicures, etc. The completely natural desire to improve their appearance should be satisfied. Agree, it is strange to refuse people services that they agree to pay for. We suggest considering the following options:

• Braiding.
• Temporary henna tattoos.
• Applying sunscreen.

You can expand the list of services:

• Rental of paper books.
• Downloading e-books from the Internet.
• Recharging gadgets.
• Taking photographs.

This type of business does not require large financial investments and brings good profits.

8. Vending

Many people prefer to buy drinks, ice cream, and beach accessories from vending machines. Equipment for sales is expensive, so this type of business can be recommended to those who already own sufficient capital to develop a promising business. The range of goods that can be sold through vending is huge: napkins, plasters, pharmaceuticals and hygiene products, most people prefer to buy without “personal contact” with the seller. At the same time, the higher price does not stop anyone. Many devices will be in demand all year round, for example, coffee machines.

9. Hydrozorb

This is a new attraction, but it is very popular and never sits idle. Hydrozorb costs about 20,000 rubles, and the purchase pays off in record time. In a month you can earn up to 300,000 rubles from this entertainment.

10. Beach disco

A good end to the day by the sea; there will definitely be people who want to dance on the sand. The financial investment is quite feasible - about 50,000 rubles. You need to rent a dance floor at a beach cafe and organize a foam party with good music and a DJ. A foam generator costs 30,000 rubles, a special solution costs 5,000 rubles.

11. Souvenirs

Everyone wants to bring with them a reminder of a pleasant holiday. Shells, starfish, pebbles with holes - all this will be of interest to vacationers, regardless of their level of income and education. Small grandfatherless souvenirs with images of the resort are being bought up, without particularly thinking about the need for such a purchase. You can earn extra money by selling magnets, cups, key rings and other inexpensive little things that are purchased in countless quantities. Place it on the approaches to the beach, and within a few days you will be pleasantly surprised by good profits.

If none of the above methods suits you, here are some more ideas for creating a profitable business at sea:

• drawing tattoos with henna and moisture-proof markers.
• piercing
• sale of various trinkets.
• trade in barbecue and wine.
• organization of a paid children's playground.
• outdoor fitness club.
• swimming lessons.

The first warm days have already begun to delight Russians, which means that the long-awaited vacation is just around the corner. The warm sea, sand and cool drinks attract people, making them forget about work and everyday problems.

Some choose foreign resorts with a five-star hotel, others buy a train ticket to visit domestic beaches and sanatoriums. But both are united by the feeling of having a good rest, carefree spending the money earned during the year. That is why residents of resort towns are rubbing their palms with anticipation, because they will make good money from renting housing, trading and beach activities.

Business on the beach is considered the simplest and most profitable way to make money at the resort; every year it brings its owners many thousands of profits in just three to four months. Beach business is considered one of the most profitable and highly profitable.

Earnings from beach activities are seasonal, usually lasting from three to four months a year. But, despite such a short period of time, an organized business on the beach can bring profit, which will make it possible to live carefree for the remaining year or open a new business. In addition, these three to four months of working days will be spent on the beach, near the warm sea, so it is difficult to imagine a more pleasant working atmosphere.

Where to begin?

First you need to decide on the type of beach business. Typically, all options for a successful beach business are divided into several types:

• Without large capital investments. A type of business that does not require significant initial investment from the owner.
• With significant investment. This category of business will require owners to spend money on expensive equipment, repairs and furnishings.

Experienced entrepreneurs claim that to open a small business on the beach you will need only five hundred to seven hundred dollars. Anyone can find these funds without much difficulty. For example, selling seeds, dried fish, and corn will require “pennies,” and the profit will cover all expenses tenfold.

In order to start offering your services and goods on the beach, it is not even necessary to register an individual entrepreneur or LLC, but if you are a law-abiding citizen, then you can go through this procedure.

Whether you will need to rent a place on the beach or you will be a free wanderer with a bag of groceries on your shoulder depends on the type of business you choose.

Cons of a beach business

Opening a business on the beach is a very promising path in business, but it also has its drawbacks.

• Working on the beach is very grueling. Not every person can stay under the scorching sun all day, and it is unprofitable to trust the business to a hired employee. Often the staff hides part of the proceeds from the owner or even runs away with it.
• SES workers will monitor your business very closely, waiting for the moment when you can be fined. As already mentioned, many beach businessmen work without permission, because obtaining these documents incurs large costs.

Types of business

Now let's give some ideas for a beach business that will bring long-awaited profits to the owner.

Providing comfort

Russians are already accustomed to relaxing in comfort; no one goes to the beach anymore with a towel on which to sunbathe. Everyone wants to grab a sun lounger and an umbrella for a comfortable stay. Therefore, renting umbrellas and sun loungers is the most popular beach business. The costs of purchasing equipment are recouped for the owners already in the first days of the season, and then bring a stable profit until closing.

People are already accustomed to paying for comfort, so renting sun loungers and umbrellas is a profitable business.

Dry toilets, showers and changing cabins are the next point of comfortable relaxation. People don’t mind paying twenty to thirty rubles for the convenience that the owner of this type of business offers them. After all, for one person this is a trifle, but if you count the number of daily visitors, it turns out that this type of income is very promising.

Attractions

The most popular beach business is the opening of attractions. Entertainment, both on land and on water, is in constant demand among beach visitors. Of course, this type of business will require investment, but it will more than pay off for its owner.

The most popular attractions on the beach are:

All these types of attractions bring joy and fun to the customers, which is the main goal of this business. The main expenses are the costs of purchasing attraction equipment, renting and registering a business in all instances: SES, tax, state inspection for small vessels. But all these little things will be justified by the profit received from renting attractions.

Remember: The entrepreneur must pass a test on his knowledge of the rules for organizing recreation on the water in a shipping company.

The total amount of investment for this type of business is three hundred to four hundred thousand rubles, depending on the quality of the purchased equipment. For example, a rubber water zorb costs twenty thousand rubles; in order to make a good profit, you need to purchase 4-5 balls. An above-ground trampoline, depending on its size, costs from one hundred to two hundred thousand rubles, but costs can be reduced if the trampoline is rented. A water scooter costs from forty thousand rubles; for full operation you will need to purchase 3-4 of these scooters.

Rent for the occupied space will cost from 15 to 50 thousand rubles, depending on the size of the attraction. The salary of employees who instruct clients and collect money is 18-20 thousand rubles. But it is possible to save on this if the entrepreneur himself does it.

Sale of gifts and souvenirs

Any person who comes on vacation to the sea will definitely buy a souvenir as a keepsake, as well as gifts for their family and friends. Unique souvenirs that are difficult to find in your hometown are especially popular. Often these souvenirs are figurines made of shells, bracelets made of sea stones, talismans, and wicker items.

In order to sell these products, you will need to find suppliers, who are local craftsmen, and also rent a place on the beach. The markup on such a product averages from one hundred to three hundred percent, so this type of business is considered very profitable.

Sale of ice cream and draft kvass

Ice cream and kvass are the most popular products on the beach. The queues near ice cream stalls and kvass stalls do not decrease from morning to evening. Therefore, this beach business option attracts many entrepreneurs.

The starting investment for opening a point selling ice cream and kvass is approximately the same and amounts to about one hundred thousand rubles. Typically, sales points do not take up much space on the beach, so rent will not exceed thirty thousand per month.

Draft kvass and ice cream help to escape the heat, so selling this product on the beach is never a problem.

Beach store

A store with swim accessories is another type of highly profitable beach business. Vacationers are undoubtedly ready to spend money on purchasing inflatable rings, balls, suntan creams and lotions, diving maxis, towels, swimsuits, and swimming trunks. In addition to sales, it is also possible to rent equipment - surfboards, balls, circles and even boats.

Every year, enterprising businessmen find new types of services to entertain vacationers, however, there is enough profit for everyone. Therefore, if you are choosing where to start your business journey, then stop at beach entrepreneurship. Because more than sixty percent of people doing business on the beach pay off their business and make a stable profit throughout the season.
