Issues that need to be paid attention to for upcoming products
Each industry has its own way of doing things, and the village chief is not a practitioner, so he just wants to broaden his horizons with everyone.
If you want to do it well, you still need the guidance of professionals. For those who want to understand this industry, here are the following four suggestions.

Be cautious when doing online transactions involving money. Especially for some products that are about to expire, you need to buy in large quantities. If you buy more than 500 or 1,000 pieces, you need to be extra cautious.
It is necessary to prevent the occurrence of different batches of goods, or the wrong version of the goods.
2. Food safety
Although the cost of goods that are about to expire is extremely low, large items may be discounted by 10%, and many items are less than 20 yuan each.
But you still need to pay attention to the expiration date and brand of the product. The more niche brands you have never heard of, the more cautious you need to be.
3. Inventory security
A very important part of selling goods is product selection. Selling goods that are about to expire still has to face this problem.
So when choosing products that are about to expire, the best-selling products will not be available at all times, but must be snatched up.
As for ordinary products, if the number of items is too large, they still face the risk of expiration.
So it is recommended that if you want to do something, you can recruit several local agents or partners, and everyone can share the share to reduce the risk.
