1. What are the sources of online stores?
1, purchased by Alibaba:
Alibaba is one of the largest purchasing websites in China. There are all kinds of sources here, and the suppliers are all certified. Compared with other procurement websites, it is more secure and reliable.
However, I suggest you choose a first-class supplier, because it can get high-quality goods at low prices. The most taboo in opening a shop is to buy second-hand goods, so the purchase price will go up and we won't get much profit at all.
The disadvantage of purchasing goods here is that once our products win attention in the market, colleagues will immediately enter Ali's same product and rely on our optimization and service to grab customers.
2, offline market to get goods:
If we have a large wholesale market there, we can go to the nearest place and choose the right online shop source, which can save a lot of traffic and travel expenses, but if there is no suitable local source.
You can go to some large well-known wholesale markets to get the goods. Although it will cost a certain transportation fee, it is very feasible if you can pick a good source of goods.
I suggest you see a good-looking style. You can take a photo with your mobile phone to see if there is the same model online. It is best not to sell the same model.
We can shoot the product and put it on the shelf first, and then contact the supplier for delivery after someone places an order. This is actually a purchasing mode, which can save us a lot of purchasing expenses.
3. Friends introduce the source of goods:
It's better to have reliable friends around you to introduce relevant sources of goods, so it's better to have acquaintances to introduce them than to grope around alone.
At the same time, it can also save us a lot of time running around looking for goods, and we don't need any agency joining fee, just do a good job in promotion.
However, the friends who introduce the goods must be reliable, and the goods introduced must be profitable. Otherwise, the consequences of blindly trusting others may be losses.
Second, what kind of goods are sold in shops without goods?
1, time-sensitive product
The demand for this product will explode instantly, and seize the opportunity to become an explosion in a short time, but the cycle will be shorter and the data will drop quickly.
2. Seasonal products
This is easier to understand. In what season, what kind of products should I choose? Choose umbrellas, sandals, mosquito killers and fans in summer. In winter, choose scarves, hats, gloves, hot air heaters, etc.
Pay more attention to the category goods and activity channels in Taobao, and you can find more seasonal goods. It is best to start the layout of seasonal products 1-2 months in advance.
3. Stable products
This product is sold all year round, regardless of season and region, and most of it is concentrated on household necessities.
For example, tablecloths, mops, trash cans, kitchen shelves, room storage, etc. The probability of this product becoming an explosion may be small, but selling a few a day is enough to maintain our stable sales.
4. Main products
I have been a shop for a while, and when there are some sales every day, we can see our main categories and rank from Taobao backstage.
The higher the level, Taobao will give you more traffic corresponding to the level, so we should also put more goods in the main category, increase sales and increase the level, so there will be more traffic and more goods can be sold, forming a positive cycle.
5. Exquisite products
It may be difficult to choose a certain degree through the above subjective choices. At this time, some skills can be used to improve the quantity and speed of product selection.
We can refer to the products of the same model. If the price of the same model is higher and the sales volume is better, then the product shows that others are selling better, and we can also put it on the shelves directly.
