Considering that novices don't have enough funds and channels to open stores, I suggest that we can try online consignment for a period of time. If you have products that you can buy locally or sell yourself, so much the better.
1. If you want to sell online, go to Alibaba, China Manufacturing Network, global sources Network and Taobao Network. The merchants here are generally good, but you should have a certain understanding of the products you want to sell and find out the advantages of the products. Such as price advantage, quality advantage, brand advantage, unique characteristics and so on. Some suppliers have some requirements for agents, for example, the reputation of an affiliate must be more than a few diamonds, but some are not necessary. If a down payment or deposit is required, we should first examine the authenticity of the website, the reliability of products, the profit space, the stability of inventory, and the timeliness of services. When you are sure that this product is 50%, you pretend to be a customer and try one. Everything can be verified, don't fall into the trap of others.
2. Secondly, there are relatively local and rare commodities. Although the market of these products is not big, the competition will be relatively small and easy to operate. For example, my family makes Guizhou ethnic dolls, batiks and health barrels. These products cannot be found anywhere else. Characteristic products will naturally attract this kind of favorite customer groups.
3. Go to Baidu to find suppliers, but some of them are individuals. You must ask them to provide you with business licenses, tax registration, product details and other related documents.
4. As a franchisee, we must first understand the online time, product inventory and delivery speed. And do some preparatory remedial measures, such as how to deal with and adjust the goods if the buyer has problems receiving the goods.
The above points are the most important and the first condition for you to open a shop. If you don't understand anything, you can ask me and discuss it with you at any time.
