When being an imported red wine agent in Shantou, the cost composition is relatively complex. First of all, there is the brand agency fee. Different brands vary greatly. It can be as little as tens of thousands of yuan, or as much as hundreds of thousands or even higher. For example, the agency fees of some well-known international brands are on the high side. Secondly, there is the initial purchase cost. If starting with a small or medium-sized wine store, for the initial purchase of 20 - 30 styles of red wine at different price levels, with the purchase price per bottle ranging from dozens to hundreds of yuan, it probably needs 50,000 - 100,000 yuan.
The store rent cannot be ignored either. In the bustling areas of Shantou urban area, for a 50 - 100-square-meter store, the monthly rent may be 10,000 - 30,000 yuan, which is 120,000 - 360,000 yuan a year. In addition, the decoration cost also needs to be considered. For simple decoration, it is 800 - 1500 yuan per square meter. Calculated based on 80 square meters, it is about 64,000 - 120,000 yuan. Overall, the initial investment is about 200,000 - 700,000 yuan, and the specific amount depends on the actual situation.

In addition to what was mentioned above, staff salaries, utility bills, transportation costs, etc. during the operation process also need to be included. If you run the store yourself, you can save on labor costs, but these costs will accumulate to a significant amount in the long run.

There is also the promotional cost. To sell the wine, you need to make people know your brand. Both online and offline promotions cost money, such as holding activities and advertising. This part of the cost may also be several tens of thousands of yuan a year.
