recharge card printing business

Before now, printing and selling of GSM Vouchers has been a business reserved exclusively for the big distributors. But now all that have changed, it’s all about who is interested. Just considering that recharge card consumption in the country is expected to reach over 50 million each month would make any one who may never have been interested in recharge card business to consider making an investment. And getting to know that you can actually control your own market (no matter how small) by printing vouchers on your own and distributing them to clique of outlets, makes the business even more interesting. The recharge card market is so lucrative that banks are jostling for market share. According to a survey conducted in 2004, recharge cards are the fastest selling product in the country-only second to pure water, imagine how lucrative investing in the business could be-with an insatiable demand for more and more cards.

OPPORTUNITY FOR BIG TIME INVESTOR

Even though we have almost brought down the cost of voucher printing to the lowest entry cost, it holds more profit advantage for a big time investor. Almost all Celtel N500 vouchers are printed by third parties or Celtel distributors. Imagine where a distributor can print and distribute just 5,000 of those fast selling N500 vouchers on a daily basis. Even at a profit say N10 per cards that company would be making profit of about N1.5million a month just selling recharge cards. Then imagine where you sell more, which of course you can. And even if you decide to invest only in recharge card as your core business, making a profit of N18 million is not “bad at all” like the Americans would say, for a company in its first year of operation.

OPPORTUNITY FOR SMALL – SCALE INVESTMENT

You can start small with as little as N9000 by working with any computer center that you trust before you acquire your own system, all you need to do it to discuss with any of sources stated below how much you would like to start with, then, you will be on your way to making over N200,000 profit on a monthly basis.

HOW TO AVOID PITFALLS THAT MAY CAUSE YOU TO LOOSE YOUR
INVESTMENT

Just like every other business in life, it’s not devoid of its challenges that may even lead to losing your investment. However, the most challenging aspect of voucher business is not the printing but the marketing. You can print 100,000 vouchers in a day if you have the resources, but how many vouchers are you capable of selling on a daily basis. This is where marketing plan comes in. you need great ideas to take vouchers right down to those who need them when they need them. That means being everywhere that you may be needed. And only great marketing plans can help you achieve that. You may need
