How Do I Start a Computer Repair Business?

Computer repair is a technology. Computer repair can solve software and hardware problems. With people's increasing dependence on computers and the Internet, computer repair technology has become increasingly mature and has become a technological field that gradually increases with temperature.

For most domestic users, computers are still expensive devices after all. Even for ordinary

1. PC motherboards and graphics cards are relatively easy to damage equipment. Generally speaking, the service life of graphics cards is more than 5 years, and the life of motherboards is longer than that of graphics cards. After losing the manufacturer's warranty, many users need repairs. More importantly, the PC platform architecture changes quickly. If the motherboard is not repaired, it is likely to be replaced with the CPU and memory, and it is very difficult to buy a motherboard with the same interface. At this time, repair is almost the only option.

2. Hard disk repair

Hard drive repair has been one of the main businesses of the PC repair industry. Due to the extremely poor stability of the hard disk itself and its short design life, it is also susceptible to external shocks, so its damage rate has been high. Although the price of hard disks is relatively cheap today, many users still want to be able to repair them after they find that the hard disks are damaged. What's more important is that many hard disks can be used normally after repair, such as damaged firmware and damaged circuit boards.

1. How big is the market space

In any investment, a full examination of the market space is essential. Only when there is sufficient market space can we conduct business boldly. It should be said that the conclusions drawn from our half-year survey have made us more firmly engaged in the computer repair market.

It is easy to buy a computer, but difficult to repair it. In the past, repairing computers depended on people; later, branded computers appeared, and manufacturers began to provide warranty within the time limit, but the warranty period meant that they would not expire, and many peripherals had only a three-month warranty. What's more, the quality of IT products has generally declined due to fierce market competition. Taking the motherboard as an example, it is reasonable to say that its normal service life should be 5 to 10 years, but it often dies halfway after the one-year warranty period. At this time, users can only rely on maintenance to reduce losses.

We performed a simple and clear calculation: take a medium-sized and small-sized city with a population of 1 million as an example, suppose that there are 200,000 households and 5,000 small and medium-sized enterprises, according to 50% of household computer penetration And the proportion of 8 computers per SME, this city has at least 140,000 computers. Generally speaking, the proportion of computers that need to be repaired within five years is 70%. Based on the average maintenance profit of 100 yuan per computer, the computer maintenance profit of the entire city is 9.8 million. More importantly, in such a small and medium-sized city, there are not many businesses engaged in computer repair business, and the market space left for us must be abundant. If it is Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and other big cities, its market potential will be even greater.

2. Is the market saturated?

Many projects have this commonality: it seems that the market space is not small, but due to the large number of participants, there is a situation of fewer porridges and more monks, and the capacity of the entire market space does not expand. , But profits are getting thinner. So, will the computer repair market we are optimistic about today present such a situation? In other words, has the market become saturated?

First we have to understand the direction of the computer repair market. According to data from a sample survey of 500 households in Dalian's urban area, the number of household computers owned by residents in Dalian's urban area has increased year by year, with an average of one in nearly two households. Just a few years ago, buying a computer was still a "luxury" thing, and the price of tens of thousands of yuan made many people feel overwhelmed. In recent years, the purses of Chinese people have become more and more "full", and China's information industry has also continued to grow. Large-scale production has made computer prices cheaper and cheaper. As a result, more and more people in Dalian moved their computers to their homes with joy.

According to statistics, the number of household computers per 100 households in Dalian in 2000 was 5 units, which increased to 7 units in 2001, to 10 units in 2002, 15 units in 2003, 20 units in 2004, and 30 units in 2006. Taiwan has reached 40 units in 2006. There is no doubt that the future development potential is still very abundant. In fact, there is a very simple algorithm: the market space of computer repair is basically proportional to the market space of computer sales. We can find that almost all computer cities in the country are expanding, which proves that the entire market space has not been reduced, but is constantly expanding. In addition, it cannot be ignored that computers are also consumer products, and there will be a need for upgrading after a few years. Therefore, its cyclical consumption process will surely make the relevant industry prosperous.

Next, let's take a look at the current status of participants in the computer repair industry. In fact, we do acknowledge that many strong IT outsourcers have already completed the first round of "enclosure" and put the IT outsourcing business of a large number of large enterprises in one pocket. However, facing the computer repair business of citizens and SMEs, we still do not have a strong brand! Maybe we see that some people continue to participate in the computer repair industry, but some people continue to withdraw because they choose an unreasonable business method and their brand planning is almost equal to zero. At this time, there is no possibility of success.

We have to remember this: For an industry with sufficient market space and initial development maturity, the key factor that determines its success is the marketing ability of the operator!
