Meikeduo’s local stores and cross-border stores in Brazil are two different sales strategies, and there are some obvious differences between them. These differences involve sales scope, product delivery, product pricing, payment methods, refunds and after-sales service. At the same time, the profit calculation of local stores and cross-border stores is also affected by many factors. This article will explore these differences in depth and provide sellers with some suggestions on the selection and operation strategy of Meikeduo’s Brazilian site.
1. Sales scope: local stores vs. cross-border stores.
Local stores are mainly aimed at consumers in Brazil. Their target market is within Brazil, so product pricing and marketing strategies usually take into account the competition in the local Brazilian market and the purchasing power of consumers. Sellers need to understand the needs and trends of the domestic Brazilian market in order to better meet the expectations of local consumers.
Cross-border stores are aimed at foreign consumers, including those in other countries or regions. This means that sellers need to take into account the market characteristics, cultural differences and consumer needs of different countries and regions. Cross-border stores have a wider sales scope, but they also need to deal with the challenges of international logistics and overseas markets.
2. Product delivery: local stores vs. cross-border stores.
Local stores usually use logistics services within Brazil, such as local express or delivery services. This helps reduce logistics costs and speed up domestic delivery. Sellers can choose suitable local logistics partners to provide efficient delivery services.
Cross-border stores need to use international logistics to handle cross-border delivery of orders. This includes choosing international express companies, sea or air transportation, etc. Sellers need to consider more factors such as shipping time, tariffs and customs clearance procedures to ensure that orders can be delivered smoothly to foreign consumers.
3. Product pricing: local stores vs. cross-border stores.
Product pricing may be different between local stores and cross-border stores. The pricing of local stores usually takes into account the price competition and consumer purchasing power level in the Brazilian domestic market. The price may be more adapted to the local market demand in Brazil.
The product pricing of cross-border stores may be more internationally competitive because they need to attract consumers in the international market. Sellers need to take into account the price sensitivity and competition in different countries to develop an attractive pricing strategy.
4. Payment method: local stores vs. cross-border stores.
Local stores usually support payment methods commonly used in Brazil, such as credit cards, debit cards, and local payment systems. This can make it easier for Brazilian consumers to complete shopping payments.
Cross-border stores may need to provide more international payment methods to meet the needs of international consumers. This may include payment methods such as international credit cards to ensure that international consumers can purchase products conveniently.
5. Refunds and after-sales service: local stores vs. cross-border stores.
There may be some differences between local stores and cross-border stores in terms of refunds and after-sales service. Since different countries and regions have different consumer protection laws and regulations, cross-border stores may need to provide refund and after-sales service policies that adapt to the needs of international consumers. This helps build trust and meet the expectations of international consumers.
6. Profit calculation: local stores vs. cross-border stores.
The difference in profit calculation between local stores and cross-border stores mainly comes from the following factors:
Sales range: Local stores have a smaller sales range and may face less international logistics and tariff costs, but they need to consider competition and price sensitivity in the local market. Cross-border stores have a wider sales range, but may face higher international logistics and tariff costs.
Logistics costs: Local stores usually have lower logistics costs because they use local logistics services. Cross-border stores need to deal with international logistics, which may be more expensive.
Tariffs: Cross-border stores need to consider the tariff policies of different countries/regions, which may have an impact on profits.
Exchange rate: Exchange rate fluctuations may have an impact on the pricing and profits of cross-border stores.
When calculating profits, sellers need to comprehensively consider factors such as product procurement costs, operating costs, logistics costs, tariffs and exchange rates. In addition, sellers should also conduct a comprehensive analysis based on sales expectations and pricing strategies to determine the most appropriate sales model and pricing strategy.
Conclusion:
In the Meikeduo Brazil site, local stores and cross-border stores have their own advantages and challenges. Sellers need to choose a sales model that suits them based on their own business strategies, target markets and resources. Whether choosing a local store or a cross-border store, it is necessary to carefully study the characteristics of the Brazilian local market and the international market, and formulate corresponding marketing strategies and operation plans. By gaining a deeper understanding of the differences between these two sales models, sellers can better meet the needs of different markets and achieve business growth and success.
