What are Taobao's skills in selecting sources of goods?

What are the skills to choose the source of goods?

1. Proximity principle: As the products will also incur costs during transportation, we generally adopt the proximity principle when selecting the source of goods. In other words, first of all, look at whether there are some large wholesale markets or some products with obvious local characteristics.

2. Consignment distribution: For shops without goods, you can choose the principle of giving priority to consignment distribution. Because consignment distribution is generally available on some relatively standardized platforms, as long as you carefully screen, the quality should not be a big problem. In addition, the newly opened store has no funds, and distribution and consignment do not require too much funds, which is conducive to the operation of the store. Therefore, for new stores, we suggest giving priority to distribution and consignment.

3. Guarantee quality: Now Taobao has introduced various guarantees to protect the interests of consumers. If you shoddy, your product return rate and after-sales rate will be high, which will lead to the failure of the store to develop. Therefore, when we choose products, we must ensure the quality of the products, not necessarily the best, at least similar. It is the best way to win over old customers through product quality. Old customers can not only help you improve the weight of the store, but also bring you more traffic.

4. Preferred long-term suppliers: The supply we choose must be stable and can provide us with supply for a long time. If we are out of stock during the operation, the impact on a new store will be extremely bad, so we can give priority to suppliers for a long time.

Dear Taobao merchants, you can learn about the purchase channels first, and then you will know how to fill in the main supply. If you don't want to solve the membership problem, you can also choose to open a shop without supply. So the risk will be lower.
