Starting from scratch, let alone professional knowledge, that is, operational skills, you must be confused. Opening a Taobao store actually has many similarities with opening a physical store. As for opening a store, I won’t talk about the basics.

The first one is definitely to choose the model, that is, choose the baby

1. 1688 website dropshipping

This is also the most common method used by sellers, but it is best to pay attention to comparing products when choosing on Alibaba. Alibaba has gathered all kinds of manufacturers, many of which provide wholesale business, and the products are also equipped with pictures

There are still quite a lot of mixed batches of 200-500. Although the purchase price will be a little higher, don’t pursue too high profits at the beginning. Once the sales volume increases, are you afraid that you can’t find a better source of goods? ?And you can also do drop shipping, which will save you some effort.

2. Online store consignment

Online store consignment is more suitable for novices, and it does not cost much to open a store.

But you must pay attention to comparison during this process, because the quality of many products now is very poor. If you are an agent and you don’t know the quality, then when it is in the hands of the customer, if you have any questions, you can directly contact us.

In the end, if you don’t make money, you may lose your credibility (DSR score, praise rate, after-sales rate). There are many powerful and big sellers on Taobao, and some of them will provide wholesale or consignment sales.

You can find out more about them and see their store reviews and service feedback. In addition, find out whether these stores have a stable supply of goods, otherwise it will be embarrassing if they are out of stock.

3. Go to the local wholesale market.

It is most straightforward to inspect and purchase goods in the wholesale market, but of course you need to have sufficient funds. There are two advantages here:

1. We can see the quality of the product,

2. If we have inventory, there will be no situation where buyers want to buy a certain item but it is out of stock. , if you can get along well with the boss there, you can get lower wholesale prices

And when there are new products or hot-selling items, he will be happy to tell you first. . Here is a suggestion: no matter where you purchase, it is best to purchase a variety of products for the first time. Test the models first and then go through the market response before purchasing in large quantities.

4. Go directly to the factory

For example, the Zhongbu New Retail platform is all merchants with physical entities, and can be accurately classified by merchants, such as entities, factories, wholesale, etc. , go directly to the factory to place an order through positioning and navigation, so that you can directly find the first-hand source of goods and directly reduce the purchase cost. Of course, you also need to evaluate whether this product can be used.

Supply supply is the basis for opening a store. Once the supply is found, the rest will be easy

The second step is to decorate the store and put the products on the shelves

Shop You can decorate it yourself. If you don’t know how to decorate it yourself, you can also buy some templates. However, you can decorate according to the templates. If you really don’t know how to do it, then find someone who can decorate it, pay some money, and call someone For decoration, it is more important to put products on the shelves. You have to determine the category of your products, and then what kind of main picture to use and what kind of title to use. This is very important, because it determines the subsequent operations. How to do it, and the most important thing is of course the price. If it’s cheap, you won’t make money. If it’s expensive, no one will buy it, so the price should be based on market rules
