Not a car oil franchise from the "river of oils". How we started a business selling motor oil for cars Start our own business selling oils

Business background

In May 2016, I was left without my main job. Favorite work that has fed me faithfully for the past 10 years.

To be honest, I never thought that after graduating from the law faculty of one of the most prestigious universities in the country with honors, I would ever find myself in a similar situation. That I will go to interviews and look for a job myself. And that I will receive letters like these:

"We have carefully read your resume, but until we are ready to make you an offer ...", or such: "You are too overqualified for our vacancy."

Well, it is clear that I did not want to go to work for 15-20 thousand hryvnia. It's not even $ 500-800 now. And I'm already too old for this shit - too old to work for someone for that kind of money.

Well, it was just right to leave Olympus, remembering those ancient times, when I, a very green and young lawyer who had just graduated from university, was invited to work by 5 companies at once. And I could choose myself where to go.

Times change. Now I had to look for companies to offer them my services.

Life is a very unpredictable thing and you never know where to lay the straw, and where you can take a certain risk. The twists and turns of fate are unknown to us and we can only adjust to the objective reality, whatever it may be.

That is why, I urge all citizens not to be lazy, and to have. So that if one source ceases to exist, the rest will hedge you.

But I am, by nature, an optimist and always look at the next problem - with a challenge. Always - philosophically, with humor and faith in a cloudless future! Only this way and not otherwise!

Has life decided to play cat and mouse with me? Check me for the fortress of the spirit ?! Well, I was ready to take a chance and see who wins! I gladly accepted the proposed rules of the game.

For the first few days, I had a strange feeling. Feeling empty. Everything I had done before, now, suddenly, has ceased to matter. This was unusual for me. Novo.

I had enough time to think about it in a calm atmosphere, to look around and realize a few simple things.

First, that our dear Ukraine is in a deep ... hole. Ukrainians have become impoverished. The number of unemployed has increased. The competition has intensified. Small business creaks and struggles to survive.

Vladimir Borisovich Groisman knows what to do with all this trouble. I really hope that he knows, because it would be high time to start raising the country's economy. It's time to lend to small and medium-sized businesses, because if this is not done, we will compete with Zimbabwe in terms of wages for a long time to come.

Business is done by the state, and not by the state - business. Business gives taxes. Business develops the economy. Doesn't anyone among the top understand this?

And what do I hear in the news from advisors of different ranks? Tighten taxes. Cancel single tax... And other, excuse me, nonsense.

In general, the time when you have already been fired, but have not yet found a new job for yourself, is a very interesting time. Useful, I would even say. Because new horizons and opportunities are opening up for you. You stop living in the usual rhythm and can see seemingly the same familiar things from a completely different angle.

How did the idea of ​​a business selling motor oil for cars come about?

I am such a person that I do not like to sit idle for a long time. And while I was sending my resume to law firms and going to various interviews, I had the thought: “Why not open a new business?”.

Of course, we could focus on the business that my wife and I already had (as we organized it and I wrote), and continue to develop it.

But, firstly, my wife and one with this business perfectly coped and copes, and secondly, well, what kind of man am I if I do not have my own business ?! My own brainchild, which I will organize, grow up, and force to bring us additional (or main) income ?!

At first, I wanted to open my own law firm (I believe that almost every lawyer with many years of experience thinks about this sooner or later). However, there were many different pitfalls here, the main one of which was - where to find clients ?!

After all, you can open a law firm even tomorrow. Register LLC, or PE. Rent an office, buy a laptop, connect the League and humbly wait for clients. But what's the point?

The current economic situation in the country is such that it is simply unrealistic to find large clients for an unknown company now. Good (money) clients have long been sorted out and are being held by large law firms in Ukraine from the TOP-50.

A foreign company or a large factory will not come to a firm without a name.

And doing all sorts of little things, like registering enterprises, obtaining certificates, permits, licenses, etc. - has long been uninteresting for me. After all, this is more of a technical work that any graduate of the Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv can handle. Especially now, when the Ministry of Justice has allowed registering companies and receiving many documents online without leaving home.

Previously, I met with several partners I know who went on a free voyage, opening their law offices. So, even their lawyers (in a firm that has been for several years, with a certain established client base) earned up to 15,000 hryvnia per month. The partners, of course, had a little more, but not much (pay taxes, office rent, staff salaries, how much will remain ?!).

Times are tough now, to be sure.

On the other hand, I wanted to move away from jurisprudence a little and try myself in something new. Moreover, there were good reliable partners, who have long been offering to join their business.

How we got a business selling motor oil for cars and trucks

In general, after consulting with my wife, I decided to open a new business not related to jurisprudence, while continuing to search for work in my specialty. Still, I love jurisprudence and it has a special place in my heart.

In just a few days, Luigi's Garage, an online store selling motor oil for cars and trucks, appeared on the network.

I decided not to bother, and for now open an online store on the Prom.ua platform. It turned out to be cheaper than creating a separate website and promoting it (the simplest tariff with a minimum basic promotion will cost about 3000 hryvnia per year).

In comparison, to create a separate site now, you will need at least $ 300. You will also pay about 3500 hryvnia per month for its promotion.

Prom.ua, in our case, was quite suitable for a launch pad to attract the first customers. In the future, depending on how things go, it will be possible to create a separate site.

It was also very helpful for us that the wife is an officially registered Self employed, which has the right to trade wholesale and retail in almost all goods for which it is not necessary to obtain a license in accordance with the Law of Ukraine "On Licensing of Types of Activities".

It also turned out to be useful that we had an office, which, of course, was used for the main business, but which could also be used as a warehouse for engine oil.

Why Luigi's Garage?

When I came up with the name for the store, I proceeded from the fact that the Italian car industry has always been famous for its quality, sophistication and beauty. Ferrari, Lamborghini, Alfa Romeo - these are the cars that need no introduction. From them you just trudge. They have passion and soul.

In this I am impressed by the Italian masters. They are really great professionals in their field. And yet, unlike the excessive German pedantry, Italians are always a little adventurous, driven by passion and feelings.

The character "Luigi" from the cartoon "Cars" also played an important role in the name of the store. It was a nice Fiat 500 repairman.

I wanted to breathe soul into the name, so that it would become unique, have its own history and, perhaps, a character. And, of course, it did not contain any boring prefixes, like: auto (auto-moto, auto-house, auto-garage, chic auto, etc.).

I didn't think about the logo for a long time either. I chose an ordinary old car (Fiat, by the way) and made an inscription under it.

It turned out pretty nice.

Why did you decide to sell just motor oil?

Well, firstly, our partner is engaged in the supply of engine oil and auto parts for trucks (i.e. the goods are almost always in stock), and secondly, there are more and more cars in Kiev and Ukraine every year.

And, I argue, on the parrot of the old flint, none of the drivers will refuse to buy motor oil from us at good prices.

I will even say more, Luigi's Garage bravely competes with such a giant as ATL.

Our prices are really cheaper!

What kind of engine oil do we sell?

We sell modern synthetic and polysynthetic motor oil for gasoline and diesel engines of the following brands: Wolf(Belgium), ELF and MOTUL(France).

Available in 1, 4, and 20 liters.

For more information on engine oil, its advantages over other types of oil, you can get by visiting the official website of "Garage Luigi".

Well, our next business experiment has started. The store is running. Clients are quietly appearing.

So, if you need to please your iron friend with modern high-quality engine oil, contact us!

P.S. After a month of being unemployed, I was invited to cooperate by one of the leading law firms Ukraine. This means that Luigi's Garage will be mostly handled by his wife. I have no doubt that she will cope!

Online shop of auto oils: organization of online sales + market analysis + formation of an assortment range + 6 types of lubricants + advice on increasing turnover + financial indicators of the expenditure / income side.

Small business is attractive to almost everyone, because working for yourself is always better than for someone else. But what idea to take on board? A good option is an online car oil store.

It is much easier to organize the sale of this type of goods in the virtual space than in the offline environment. And what exactly is needed for this, read in this article.

Organization of a business selling car oils on the Internet

A person who decides to start selling car oils on the Internet should start with. This document will help you throughout the entire process of becoming.

Objectively assess your capabilities, analyze the market, competitors, calculate necessary costs... Even the opening of a car oil store on the Internet is accompanied by registration. Prepare all the necessary papers and register as an individual entrepreneur by choosing the tax regime.

The following documents should be drawn up:

Please note: it is impossible to profitably organize the sale of car oils both on the Internet and in a standard store without knowing the specifics of their use for a particular car brand.

It is necessary to decide which car oils you are going to sell via the Internet. It is better to make the assortment large and varied right away, if possible. Your store must contain at least 100 positions. Moreover, types of car oils are purchased from different segments, from budget to premium class.

When the selection of auto oils has been made, proceed to the search for suppliers. This is a painstaking process, but very important. You will have to spend several hours, or even the whole day, on the Internet, call the most suitable companies, and agree on cooperation.

You may be able to cope with the technical part of the software, but you are unlikely to do everything right. Therefore, do not spare money for the development of the site by professionals. By the way, the most ordinary store on the Internet can cost an acceptable amount (from 15 thousand rubles.)

After the store is completed, it is necessary to fill it with sold motor oils, descriptions for them, add useful functions, a basket, etc.

Think about where you plan to store the goods. Even under the condition that auto oils will be sold in the online store on order, the minimum inventory of the most popular types of products must be in stock.

Organization of delivery falls on the shoulders of the owner of a business selling motor oils via the Internet. There should be several ways of well-functioning logistics.

It can be:

1. Own courier service. In this case, the entrepreneur will need additional labor. However, all reliable online stores choose this option. For the delivery of one order, you can set a cost within 500 rubles.
2. Self-pickup, when it is convenient for the client to independently pick up the car oil from the warehouse.
3. Transport companies, Russian Post, etc. services, the services of which must be used if the buyer is a resident of another constituent entity of Russia.

Immediately after creating a car oil store on the Internet, you need to start implementing a previously thought-out advertising campaign, promoting your business.

1. Analysis of the car oils market.

The idea of ​​opening a car oil store on the Internet can be called profitable, since this is the niche itself. This is due to the growth in the level of motorization in Russia.

Naturally, every machine needs proper maintenance. Therefore, there will always be a demand for car oils, spare parts, car cosmetics, accessories. However, along with the level of automation, so does the level of competition. The market dictates tough rules, therefore, you need to have an advantage in order to outflank the competition.

Of the total consumption of lubricants, motor oils account for over 1.5 million tons. This is almost 75% of the Russian market. At the same time, the vehicle fleet is growing at a high rate. About 500 new cars appear on the streets of the capital alone.

About 230 million liters of motor oil is consumed by the passenger car segment. About 650 million liters are used for public transport, etc. The demand for lubricants (LM) in 2015 exceeded 350 million liters (passenger cars). More than 130 million liters of motor oils were purchased for trucks. This generates a high demand for diesel engine oils.

There are changes in consumer behavior. Increasingly, vehicle owners buy car oils in specialized stores, hypermarkets and less often turn to service.

Lukoil is considered the most recognizable trade mark. This car oil is bought by 70% of consumers. In six months, 40% of motorists purchase it at least once. This is due to the high quality of products and effective brand promotion.

The consumers of car oils are mainly men aged 25 to 54 years. The female sex visits standard and online car stores to a lesser extent.

A large percentage of consumption is observed in the Central Federal District (72 million liters), the Volga Federal District, the Siberian Federal District. Lubricants are mainly purchased by middle-income citizens. In Moscow and the Moscow region, consumers are more often employees, persons occupying leadership positions, specialists in various fields.

In addition, potential buyers are characterized by: the presence of a family, employment in the construction, industrial, transport spheres. If you look at the picture in the country as a whole, then the consumers of car oils are first the workers, then the managers, the pensioners.

Marketing research shows that motorists try to buy oils from the same manufacturer so as not to flush the engine again. It is also influenced by brand loyalty.

If they decide to buy a new car oil in a store, they will be guided by:

• recommendations of friends;
• promotional offers;
• advice from a qualified seller;
• information in thematic publications.

The cost factor is perceived differently by citizens of all social groups. The quality of car oils is a key and complex indicator when choosing a product. According to buyers, domestic and imported motor oils practically do not differ from each other.

Lubricants produced in Russia attract with their cost. Therefore, in terms of quality, everyone has their own requirements. Consequently, the assortment of an online car oil store must be formed taking into account the opinion of each consumer group.

The choice of a car oil is also influenced by the aesthetic appearance of the packaging. More confidence is caused by those products, on the canisters of which there is complete information about the manufacturer, as well as the standard, marking, characteristics, etc.

Experts say that the volume of production of motor oils in Russia will increase in the coming years.

The main Russian automotive oil producers are:

Online stores compete:

• https://motoroil24.ru
• https://planetamasla.ru
• https://liga-m.pro
• https://msboy.ru
• https://auto-run-group.ru
• https://www.rmasla.ru and others.

You can independently and in more detail analyze economic indicators, supply / demand volumes, prices for motor oils, competitive environment and other main aspects.

Use sources:

2. What products should be used to fill the “showcases” of an online auto oil store?

The assortment of the store should be based on consumer preferences. Thoroughly analyze competitors' offers using the Internet.

It turns out that many car owners find it difficult to find a car oil that is recommended by technical documentation specifically in his case. Sometimes it is impossible to buy the necessary goods, because it is rarely found on the domestic market, or it is very expensive.

Therefore, you must collect the product catalog in such a way that it contains analogues that can replace such auto oils, and differ minimally from the original.

Modern vehicles need motor oils of liquid consistency. More revenue for the online store will be brought by goods from manufacturing plants, expensive brands such as BP and Shell.

With the help of filters, implement a convenient selection of a car oil for certain car brands. Then the client, having chosen the model of his car, indicating additional parameters, for example, the type of the required car oil and engine, viscosity, country of manufacture, will be able to calmly find the desired product and place an order.

But if a motorist needs advice, you should, like the service in general, provide it at the highest level.

Of course, your range of car oils will in many ways resemble the nomenclature list of competitors, however, it is worthwhile to profitably supplement yours with other types of products in order to surpass it.

Since the sale of car oils on the Internet is a highly specialized activity, it would not hurt to supplement the assortment with related products (candles, filters, antifreeze, brake fluid, antifreeze, etc.).

Make sure that all car oils are in the presence of an online store, regularly replenish stock.

Variety of car oils.

All motor oils are subdivided according to such a criterion as viscosity, into the following types:

• winter (W), used at low temperatures;
• summer, designed for lubrication of the power unit of the machine at high air temperatures;
• all-season, characterized by their versatility.

Winter car oils are, depending on the density and temperature characteristics, 6 classes. They are designated as follows: 10W, 5W, 0W, etc. The number in front of the letter indicates the class of the car oil and, at the same time, the temperature at which it retains its performance.

The digital value of the car oil after the W indicates the degree of density or viscosity. Summer lubricants have 5 classes and are indicated simply by numbers (for example, 20, 40, 60).

All-season motor oils, combining the advantages of both summer and winter, are labeled as follows: SAE 10W-30 or SAE 5W-40.

By chemical composition motor oils are classified into:

• mineral (made from petroleum products);
• semi-synthetic (a mixture of mineral and synthetic);
• synthetic (made by organic synthesis).

The manufacturer notes on each canister what type of car oil belongs to. Also, the store must have lubricants selected in accordance with the mileage of the car.

Car oils are distinguished by the type of engine:

• for gasoline (S),
• energy saving motors (EC),
• diesel (C).

If you come across the designation API SN / CJ, it means that auto oils can be used for diesel engines and those that run on gasoline.

There are 3 classes of ACEA branded motor oils:

It is desirable that there are more items with SAE classification in the online store. Auto oils of such brands as Shell, Lukoil, Xado, Castrol, Total, G-Energy, Mobil, etc. are in demand.

3. Selection of suppliers for supplying the online store with motor oils.

Finding suppliers on the Internet and in the real environment is an equally important and difficult task.

They are chosen according to the following criteria:

• low purchase cost,
• reliability,
• long period of work,
• high quality car oils.

You can establish contacts with suppliers of car oils or directly with manufacturers. It is advisable to consider the option of cooperation with Favorit Oil. This is a reliable supplier of domestic, imported auto oils, the order from which is made via the Internet or through negotiations with a manager.

It is better to look for counterparties on the Internet, since prices in ordinary stores are slightly higher.

4. Employees of the online store of auto oils.

For the online auto oil store to function normally, you need at least 3 employees:

• One is hired as a salesperson. Choose a consultant based on the level of his qualifications. Of course, a man is better suited for this role. He should be well versed in various types of car oils to help with the choice, add content.
• The second person will perform the duties of the sales manager, operator.
• The third is required as a courier.

You can take over the accounting for the sale of motor oils on the Internet.

5. What do you need to increase sales in an online store?

It is possible to increase the sales of an online car oil store if the business owner aims not only at maximizing profits, but also at meeting the needs of motorists. The introduction of a system of discounts will help to increase the competitiveness, and at the same time increase the turnover.

In order for buyers to visit your online store, coming back again and again, the sale of car oils should be profitable for both you and them. Therefore, do not overstate the prices, make special offers.

For example, you can give a set of car oils to those who shop for a certain amount, or make a 5.7% discount on all product items, subject to reordering.

Carefully monitor the quality of the supplied auto oils. Check each new batch using the possible methods. Once you make a mistake in this, and the store's reputation will be ruined. A disgruntled online shopper can write a negative review about you than discourage other potential customers from making purchases in your store.

When things go uphill, expand your range of car oils. By increasing the number of suppliers, you will provide a retail outlet on the Internet with different brands of car oils, so that every driver will find the necessary product.

After opening an online store, it is imperative to promote it. The customer acquisition strategy and advertising campaign must be thoroughly worked out.

Make the most of all known methods for car oils:

• banner, contextual advertising;
• social media;
• various kinds of car enthusiasts' directories, etc.

Benefit from the sale of low-promoted engine oils.

Which brand of motor oil should you choose? Extra charge
for engine oil.

6. What investments are needed to launch an online store of auto oils?

To start, you will need at least 290-300 thousand rubles. The amount of investment required to launch a store on the Internet depends on the range of car oils, the cost of renting premises for a warehouse. Also, part of the funds will go to the wages fund, registration, taxes, website development and content, advertising, promotion.

• purchase of goods - 80-100 thousand rubles;
• lease of premises for a warehouse (5-10 sq. m.) - from 20 thousand rubles;
• salary - 60 thousand rubles;
• registration - 3-4 thousand rubles;
• tax fees - 6 thousand rubles;
• creation of an online store - 15-50 thousand rubles;
• promotion, advertising campaign - 50 thousand rubles.

The markup for car oils can be 50-80%. Revenue with good sales reaches 200 thousand rubles, and the net monthly income at first is about 50 thousand rubles. Over time, the online store will develop and generate more profit (100 thousand rubles). Payback - from six months or more.

Online auto oil store will become a source of stable income if we take into account the key nuances of the activity and make every effort to increase its competitiveness.

Opening a car oil store is not difficult. Naturally, for this you need to collect all the necessary documents, find a suitable place for trade, arrange everything correctly, and purchase goods. In order to start your own business, you also need a certain start-up capital. Let's take a look at all the questions in order.

What documents should be collected?

Before opening an auto oil store, you will definitely need to register as a private entrepreneur. That is, for work, you should draw up the following documents:

If, in addition to selling motor oils, you will be engaged in their replacement, then you will also need an agreement on the removal and disposal of garbage and used containers. It is also advisable to have a list of the products that you will sell.

Features of the choice of the building

Before opening an auto oil store, you should carefully consider its location.

That is, you need to assess the area where you want to organize the sale of goods - what kind of competition is there, whether the supplier is close, how visited the outlet can be.

Pay attention to the building being conspicuous and easily accessible.

It must have a good driveway so that you can easily deliver the goods to the point of sale. You have the opportunity to rent retail space in any business center or build a separate building.

The size of the room is important as you will have to divide it into several rooms. For example, in addition to the sales area itself, the manager's office (store manager), a warehouse should be organized. It is advisable to equip a staff room. If, in addition to selling, you will also be engaged in oil changes, then it is best to rent a separate building with a garage.

The room must meet all sanitary and fire safety standards. As for communications, the building should have good electrical wiring, water and sewerage, as well as telephone and Internet connections.

Personnel and equipment

Before you open an auto oil store, you should definitely decide on the number of personnel, their qualifications and experience. An important point is the personal qualities of sales consultants and managers. Employees should be sociable, pleasant to talk to, be able to lure the client, tell him about the products, advise the best option.

Every employee has a responsibility to be honest and responsible. In addition, everyone should know the basic rules for handling fluids that can be flammable. If you cannot choose the staff yourself, use the services of professional managers.

As for the equipment, before you open an auto oil store, you need to place various racks, cabinets, showcases, shelves in the trading floor. The quality and quantity of furniture depends on the size and principle of the institution's work: the goods are issued by the seller or the buyer has the opportunity to choose what he needs on his own. Please note that all equipment must be combined with the interior of the room.

Selection of suppliers and attraction of clientele

In order for your car oil stores to bring a stable good income, you need to choose a really high-quality supplier of goods, which is famous for a good reputation. It is important to find a company with which you can work for a long time. Naturally, you must conclude a contract with the supplier of your choice. The document will set out all the requirements and conditions of both parties. The cost of purchasing the goods is determined immediately.

To attract customers, you need a bright, beautiful sign, a good attitude towards customers and an excellent advertising campaign. It is better to entrust this mission to professionals. Although you can also use advertising space in transport, newspapers, the Internet.

The cost of starting a business

Now let's present a rough business plan for an auto oil store. In order to open it from scratch, you will have to spend the following funds:

Registration of all required documents- up to $ 1000;

Premises rental - from 3000 USD monthly (together with utilities);

Purchase of goods - from $ 5,000 per month;

Salary for employees - from $ 3000 monthly;

Other expenses - from $ 1,000 per month.

As for the profit, it all depends on the assortment of goods and the demand of buyers. The payback period for the project is about one and a half years.

What exactly will you need to sell?

The fact that the assortment of an auto oil store provides for a narrow range of products is understandable. However, you can expand your business. First of all, you must have oils from different manufacturers, as well as substances that are suitable for most cars. In addition to the main products, you can sell vehicle care products, antifreezes, detergents.

In principle, a counter with various accessories will not be superfluous: brushes for cleaning a car, rugs, covers. Over time, you can turn your business into a chain of stores that will provide you with a steady income.
