The biggest fear of online shop owners who are new to the e-commerce industry is that they cannot find a reliable source of goods. For them, Alibaba’s corporate procurement is undoubtedly a very good choice. Corporate procurement is a one-stop procurement mall carefully built by Alibaba for online shops, which brings together a large number of suppliers and well-known manufacturers. These suppliers and well-known manufacturers have been strictly screened by Alibaba and their qualifications are guaranteed. In addition, corporate procurement also has an extremely attractive price advantage.
Overall, Alibaba’s corporate procurement can bring the following advantages to online shops.
(1) Enjoy preferential services
Currently, corporate procurement provides three types of goods for online shops.
In addition, corporate procurement also provides preferential services specifically for smaller online shops, mainly including large company orders, brand procurement, special supply meetings, spot goods collection, 1 yuan purchase, etc.
① Large company orders. Through large company orders, online shops can enjoy exclusive prices and exclusive services provided by top 500 suppliers.
② Brand procurement. Through brand centralized purchasing, online stores can enjoy preferential prices and exclusive services provided by well-known brands.
③ Special supply meeting. Through the special supply meeting, online stores can enjoy the direct supply service of raw material source manufacturers and first-level distributors.
④ Collection of spot goods. Through the collection of spot goods, online stores can enjoy the spot direct supply service provided by well-known manufacturers. When purchasing, online stores can also get cash back benefits, and the more they purchase, the greater the amount of cash back.
⑤ 1 yuan purchase. Through the 1 yuan purchase, online stores can enjoy the discount of 1 yuan purchase of branded goods. At 10 am every day, some well-known brands’ selected high-quality products will be sold at a price of 1 yuan. However, the number of such products is limited and the competition is fierce.
(2) Quickly find reliable suppliers
The company has collected and integrated many very good suppliers. Of course, the strength and credit rating of each supplier are also different. So, how should online stores judge the strength and credit rating of suppliers? .
① Check whether there is an “official flagship store” or “brand agency store” logo. After opening the supplier’s store, you can check whether there is an “official flagship store” or “brand agent store” logo at the top of the homepage. Generally speaking, all suppliers with such logos have been certified by Alibaba, and the product quality is more guaranteed.
② Check whether there are “gold medal supplier”, “buyer protection service” and “company on-site certification” logos. After opening the supplier’s store, you can check whether there are “gold medal supplier”, “buyer protection service” and “company on-site certification” logos on the left side of the details page. These logos are a symbol of the supplier’s strength, and online stores can choose suppliers with these logos.
③ View the supplier’s information through “company profile”. After entering the supplier’s store, you can click on the “company profile” page to view the supplier’s transaction records, autobiographical qualifications, industrial and commercial registration, credit reports, real photos and other information. This information can help online stores determine the supplier’s credit and avoid fraud, false shipments and other phenomena.
Tips
Online stores, especially those that are not too large, are very suitable for finding suppliers through company centralized procurement, which can not only enable you to quickly find high-quality sources of goods, but also save a lot of trouble in identifying suppliers.
