PRINTING GSM VOUCHERS
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
And even if you want to start small you can start with as little as N35,000 you can set
up your equipment and you will be on your way to making over N145,000 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 to discover new GSM marketing ideas that work.
