Bian Xiao personally suggested starting with Alibaba. After all, this platform is safer and more reliable.
Let's talk about ways to find goods outside Alibaba:
1, contact the Taobao seller as an agent.
In fact, many Taobao sellers are very willing to have agents. To put it bluntly, their own sales are not particularly good. Why don't you find an agent to help them sell and charge an agency fee?
So if you really can't find a suitable source on Alibaba, you can also contact Wangwang, the seller of the product you want to distribute, directly to see if he is willing to accept the agent. If you like, you can add WeChat or telephone to facilitate the next contact.
note:
Find the source of goods in this way, and don't hoard too many goods at once.
For beginners who have just done consignment, the funds themselves are certainly not particularly sufficient. If you buy too much at one time, you may encounter the risk of poor capital turnover. Cooperation should be gradual, and there needs to be a running-in period. Therefore, in the early stage of cooperation, don't rashly hoard too many goods. If you lose in your own hands, you can do it step by step.
2. Pick up the goods directly near the scattered sources.
This kind of sourcing method is suitable for sellers close to suppliers, such as sellers in Yiwu. You can go directly to the factory cooperative wholesale store to get the goods, and if you can't sell them, you can return them to the manufacturer. But for sellers far away from the source of goods, this method of finding the source of goods is not very recommended.
3. Try to contact the supplier to buy products.
If you are particularly confident in a product, you can buy it back first. Generally, regular products will definitely have the information of the source manufacturer or the name of the enterprise company. You can contact the manufacturer with enterprise search.
Focus on how to find the source on 1688:
1, what does Alibaba do?
Simply put, Alibaba is a supply and marketing platform that is conducive to the sales of manufacturers and merchants.
2. Specific operation:
Take a good product I saw before Bian Xiao as an example:
1) found this product through the business staff.
2) Search the results of this product on Taobao, and you can find that the price is not low, and there is definitely room for profit.
3) Open 1688 to directly search for keywords, then find similar products, and click on the details page of the main picture.
4) Open the purchasing staff and judge whether it is a supplier by sales ranking and product price. (Generally, the original factory price is relatively low, and the sales volume is also good, especially under the premise that the main picture remains unchanged. )
5) After finding the source manufacturer, see if it supports the first generation. It can be seen that the original manufacturer of this product supports a consignment, and then you can contact the manufacturer to communicate the specific matters.
Notes representing the following:
Whether to support a consignment to confirm the freight, which areas are remote, what is the express delivery, how to deal with the product return, and whether it is necessary to control the timeliness of price delivery.
You can't make much money on behalf of others, but you can quickly accumulate experience in this way for friends with 0 foundation. Then, through a lot of words, choose the products that are most sure to be put on the shelves, and there is always a probability that orders will be placed.
Well, Bian Xiao will share the problem of how to represent a company to find the source of goods here, hoping to help the novice sellers who are doing or preparing to do e-commerce.
