As a cross-border e-commerce platform, Shopee has a good amount of activity on the platform, attracting many sellers to open stores. So, after sellers settle in Shopee, what are the channels for purchasing goods? This article will introduce.
1. Online channels.
1. Search engine search.
Nowadays, many things can be done online, including finding sources of goods. There are many ways to find channels online, and the most convenient one is to use search engines to search.
2. Third-party source network.
You can also go online to the third-party source network to find sources of goods. At present, the most commonly used third-party source network for sellers is 1688 Wholesale Network. The platform has a complete range of products, diverse styles, and multiple price levels, which can meet everyone’s diverse product selection needs.
3. Online consignment purchase.
In addition to the source network, there is also a consignment website, which can find manufacturers by searching online or asking peers. After finding the manufacturer, communicate with the manufacturer and strive to get the source of goods that suits you at a suitable price. The advantage of this method is that you can get the manufacturer’s exclusive online sales rights. The disadvantages are also obvious. If there is no certain sales ability, the purchase price has no advantage, and the exclusive online sales rights are also a problem.
4. Information flow advertising.
Sellers can also find sources of goods through information flow advertising. Many information flow advertisements are more creative. They can also take this opportunity to improve their product selection thinking and understand a variety of different copywriting styles.
2. Offline channels.
1. Find manufacturers.
Sellers can directly find manufacturers and cooperate directly with manufacturers to achieve a direct sales model. There are no middlemen to make a profit, and they can get first-hand sources of goods. The product price is more advantageous. However, direct cooperation with manufacturers also requires a certain strength and is greatly restricted by geographical location. It is recommended to find a source network like Mengla Yanxuan. It is also a manufacturer to get goods, without stockpiling goods, and without worrying about delivery. It is very friendly to novice sellers.
2. Brand agent.
This can sell branded products by cooperating with brand agents. The advantage of this is that consumers trust the seller’s products more. However, becoming a brand agent requires many qualifications and a certain level of corporate strength.
3. Wholesale market.
Offline wholesale market is also a good choice. Sellers can ask if there is a wholesale market near them. If there is one, they can go to the site to investigate and understand the product quality, product details, and product functions. On the one hand, they can more directly understand whether the product is suitable, and on the other hand, they can directly discuss cooperation and price with the boss.
After the above introduction, everyone will know how novice sellers find sources of goods. Sellers can choose according to their own situation. No matter which method is used, it requires good operation in the later stage.
