Many
Nigerians always complain of unemployment when there are so many businesses we
could do to earn money for ourselves. The undergraduates are not left out
because most of them always wait for their parents or guardian to send them
pocket money for up-keep. Some family women also find themselves in want
because they depend on their husbands for money. But here is a great news for
everyone because this article is here to solve those problems. I have written
several articles on small and large scale businesses which could help any
family to foot their bills. Written below this particular are list of business articles which
might also help.
I
decided to write this particular one because I know Natural Honey is so beneficial to human health. Apart from that the
business is very profitable and is still profitable till date. Honey business
is a very simple and lucrative business which any one can do and make good
income. This business does not require any special skills or training and the
demand is always on the high side because the uses of natural honey are so numerous.
Are
you aware that Natural Honey is the only food in the entire universe that cannot
expire? Yes, natural honey never spoils. It has natural preservatives that can
keep it for a life time so you wouldn’t have to bother about the problems of
preserving it. The uses of natural honey are so numerous hence the high demand.
Written below are some major uses of natural honey which you may already know.
MAJOR USES OF NATURAL
HONEY
Natural
Honey can be put into several uses especially in the field of medicine and
health care. It is used as an alternative to sugar by diabetic patients and individuals
who would like to avoid sugar. It is also used for general production in the
cosmetics industries because it nourishes the skin. It can be applied on
patients with fire burns because it helps the wound to heal fast. Natural Honey
can be used in the food and beverage industries for making food, drinks and
snacks. It can be used as Jam for eating bread and can also be used as a food
preservative. Professional singers take honey to smoothen their throats before a
musical performance. Natural Honey is also applied to the human hair to make it
glow and well-conditioned. Like I said
previously, the uses of honey so numerous, you can decide to do more research
from Google on your own. The major reason why the natural honey sellers never
run out of business is because the demand is very high.
HOW TO MAKE HUGE
PROFIT FROM NATURAL HONEY SUPPLY
If
you are interested in making money from natural honey business, you must ensure
that you are purchasing it from a genuine source (honey collect directly from
the hive) because honey can be adulterated using several methods. The quality
of the honey you sell becomes a very important factor in determining your
patronage. Therefore you have to ensure that the honey you buy is of high
quality and is from the right source. Personally, I don’t recommend buying
honey from the open market. I recommend buying from bee keepers. You can conduct
a research to find out where you can buy honey. You can even do a Google search
to help you.
According
to the most recent market survey I conducted, 10 liters of honey costs between N7000
and N10,000 while 5 liters cost between N4000 and N5000. These figures may vary
depending on your source. You can start Natural Honey business with as low as
N10,000 and still make a 100% profit. Assuming you buy 5 liters of honey for
N5000, you can get about 6 and half 75Cl Eva water bottles, which you can sell
for a minimum of N1500 each to make N9000. If you subtract your initial cost,
you will be making a profit of N4000. You see what I mean? Please note that the
prices are for original natural honey only but may differ depending on your source.
METHODS, TIPS
AND TRICKS TO KNOW ORIGINAL HONEY
Due
to the problems increase of honey adulteration with sugar and other similar substances,
experts in honey business have put up some tests to check if a particular honey
is genuine or not. Below are some of the recommended tests.
1.
Dip
your finger into the honey then try to drop one or two drops on the ground, if
it is pure honey it will go down like a thread without breaking.
2.
Pour
some honey into a glass of water, if it is a pure honey, it will go down to the
bottom of the cup without mixing up with the water except you stir it.
3.
Dip
a match stick into your honey and strike it, if it is a pure honey, the match
stick will burn with the honey on it acting as a fuel.
4.
A
pure honey doesn't spread out immediately when dropped on sand, it rolls like a
ball.
These
are some of the recommended tests to check for natural/pure honey. If you have

HONEY FOR SALE

a country like ours, you must also remember that packaging is a very important
factor for effective product marketing. For that reason, you must make sure you
use proper packaging materials and if possible attach a product label
containing your business name and address and phone number to make it more genuine.
This will not only increase your sales, but will also make it look more authentic.
You can choose to package your honey in bottles or preferably plastic containers.
But make sure you paste your product label on it as advised earlier because it
is also a good marketing strategy.
