Startup idea - Cigar Sales


This hot business is so specialized, it'll have you smokin' out profits in no time.

Business Overview

Across the United States millions of dollars’ worth of cigars are sold monthly, some for $250 or more each--making this a very lucrative market. Once you've secured a wholesale source for purchasing cigars, here are a few ways to retail them for a profit: * Establish a small kiosk in a mall or market location for selling cigars. * Employ direct sales teams remunerated by way of commission based on their sales. * Initiate a direct-mail and email campaign aimed at corporations to purchase the cigars to give to valued clients and business associates as gifts. * Purchase vending machines and stock these machines with cigars for sale. The machine will have to be a “minihumidor” and can be located in high-traffic gathering places such as restaurants and pubs.
