The purchase method is as follows:
1. One-piece consignment sales in online stores
This is the most common and simplest. There are many searches on Baidu, and the threshold is the lowest. Most You can sell on a free basis, but some will charge an agency fee of several hundred yuan. The advantage is that you can sell on behalf of several companies. There are many SKUs and there are many traffic entrances. If you send one product on behalf of another company, there will be corresponding data packages and it will be put on the shelves quickly with one click. The disadvantage is that the four points I mentioned above are generally not very consistent. The threshold is low, competition is high, and there is no profit.
2. Get goods from wholesale markets
For example, Beijing Zoo, Free Market, Guangzhou White Horse Thirteenth Line, etc. You can check these out on your own, and then search Taobao to see if there are similar products, and then compare the prices and profits to see if you have any opportunities.
In fact, you don’t have to buy it yourself. You can borrow or buy one to take pictures, or there are many pictures directly online and then put them on the shelves. Keep a record of how many orders you sell every day, go to the wholesale market to get the goods, and then package them and send them out. This way you don’t need to buy a lot of goods, and you can sell one order at a time. Many personal stores around me have always been like this, but it is a waste of energy and I have to hunt for goods
3. Alibaba Wholesale
This is actually similar to the wholesale market. Some support one-piece drop shipping, and some have a minimum batch size of 5 or 10 pieces, or more than one purchase per purchase. It’s best to look for those that are certified or have thresholds. Don’t go for cheap, thinking that the lower the better. Those that cost 9.9 yuan with free shipping are not recommended. Alibaba is the same as Taobao, especially the digital ones. There are many fakes, so novices should not play with standard product categories. Similarly, search related products of this brand on Taobao to see how many people are selling them on a consignment basis, how many people are selling them, and whether the pictures provided by the manufacturer are of high quality.
4. Consignment sales on supply and marketing platforms
The general threshold is only 1-3 diamonds, and you can sell big-name products on a consignment basis, as well as release products with one click. You need to carefully select brand merchants and compare the level of competition and the number of sellers. Since you are a brand seller, there will definitely be many people selling on a consignment basis. If you want to rely on consignment sales, it will be difficult to break through. When you first apply, the brand may not give you a very low discount. How much sales volume do you need to achieve to increase the consignment level? Most Tmall stores have enabled consignment sales. The advantage is that delivery is convenient, and consignment accounts are split without having to invest the purchase money yourself, which is great.
5. Taobao store consignment
For example, if a friend’s store sells well and you want to open a store but there is no supply of goods, you can ask him to set a VIP price for your purchase account, and then after you open the store, you can All the products in his store are copied to your store using software. If someone buys your product, you can just go to that store to take a picture and change the address. You can copy items from several stores at the same time. Don’t worry about what if you can’t sell the same product. Each store has its own traffic, and distribution is done this way. This method is suitable for novices to open a part-time store by themselves. When there is really no supply of goods, they can borrow a chicken to lay eggs.
