Business Type: Makro Fortnightly Special Offer Sales

Starting the Business:
To start this business you will need a proof of business in order to register with this company. Makro are a national chain of wholesale factories who give access to businesses who can then buy almost everything they can imagine at trade prices, with no minimum orders. They have large warehouses all over the UK that are stocked with everything from electricals, garden furniture, garage tools, through to alcohol and fresh/frozen food.

Whilst everything is already trade price, the secret to making good money from Makro is to subscribe to their Makro Mail magazine. This is a special offer trade magazine sent out every fortnight listing a wide variety of heavily discounted and clearance items, and people from businesses flock to the Makro warehouses from the moment they open their doors on that given Wednesday to take advantage of the Makro Mail offers. The products offered via the Makro Mail are normally much cheaper again than even the trade prices offered on the shop floors, so leave you an easy profit margin by reselling via eBay, Gumtree, or whatever other medium of advertising you choose. Just bear in mind that you do need a business, and proof of trading (ie an invoice from another business or a business bank statement) in order for Makro to give you free membership. Well worth it though, and easy money to be made from the Makro Mail offers every single week.

Where To Sell:
eBay is the obvious place to resell, however you should also look at other avenues such as Gumtree.co.uk, freeads, and other specialist magazines matching your purchases that offer free advertising in the back pages of the classifieds.

How Much Can I Make?
The sky is the limit when it comes to Makro Mail offers. It really depends on the budget you have available to spend each week. Most people start off small, buying accessories or similar, typically making 30-40% profit on each item. They then gradually build up and start buying larger items such as barbeques, garden furniture, office furniture, garage tools, etc, whatever is really on special offer in the Makro Mail each week.

Ultimately the larger the item, typically the more money you will make when it is sold. The profit margin % will be similar but as it is higher value, the money made will be greater. There are many people making the equivalent of an additional full-time living (£1000+) per month relatively easily just from reselling larger items bought at special offer Makro Mail prices each fortnight and selling them on for profit.
