The international situation of traditional export foreign trade is sluggish and complicated. China is actively promoting the transformation of export foreign trade. Cross-border e-commerce has always been the key development direction supported by the Chinese government. Domestic products are exported and entered Southeast Asia, making foreigners fall in love with Chinese products.
When it comes to cross-border e-commerce, many people think of Amazon first. Amazon’s profits are undeniably high, but have you ever thought about when your store can make the first order? Amazon stores need rent, and each site needs it, and commissions are required every month. In short, you need to pay some money before you make money. As for when you can make back your investment, this is still an unknown. The Amazon platform is very complete at all levels, but if you are a novice in cross-border e-commerce, it is recommended to start with some simple platforms first.
Shopee cross-border e-commerce is said to be an emerging platform. The platform was established in 2016. Although it has not been established for a long time, it is mainly aimed at Southeast Asia and Taiwan. The population of Southeast Asia has reached 600 million, the number of App downloads has reached 200 million, and the number of users under the age of 30 has reached 50%, so its development prospects are immeasurable.
Xiamipi Shopee mainly uses the no-source model
Needless to say about the no-source model? The literal meaning is that there is no need to stock up on goods. The products in the store are all collected from domestic platforms such as 1688, Taobao, JD.com, Pinduoduo and other platforms. If someone places an order in the store, we will purchase them from the domestic platform and then send them to the Shopee transfer warehouse. We don’t need to pack and send them to customers again. The Xiamipi platform will solve it, and there is no need to worry about backlogs of goods.
Xiamipi does not have to use the no-source model. If you have your own products, you can do both the no-source model and the source model, which will make more profit! Earn the price difference with no source, build your own brand with source, and in the later stage, when your own brand is established, you can do the source model alone.
