Detailed explanation of Temu platform supply price formulation and optimization strategy

On the Temu platform, reasonable supply price setting is crucial for sellers. This article will comprehensively analyze the calculation method of supply price and its optimization strategy from multiple perspectives.

Supply price calculation method

The supply price calculation needs to take into account many factors, including but not limited to cost price, market price, sales channel expenses, profit expectations, and seasonal and promotional factors.

  • Cost price: This refers to production costs, transportation costs, packaging costs, etc., which form the basic part of the supply price.
  • Market price: Consider current market conditions and competitor price levels as a basis for pricing.
  • Sales channel fees: Including platform commissions, logistics fees, etc. to ensure that a certain profit margin is still maintained after deducting these fees.
  • Profit expectations: Determine a reasonable profit rate based on the company’s own profit needs and market positioning.
  • Seasonality and Promotional Factors: Flexible adjustment of supply prices to respond to changes in market demand is especially important during promotional activities.

How much profit is added to the supply price

There is no fixed standard for how much profit is added to the supply price on the Temu platform, but depends on various factors such as product cost, market demand, and competitive conditions. Suppliers need to comprehensively consider production costs (such as raw materials, labor), transportation costs, taxes and other factors, and increase reasonable profits on this basis. The platform will negotiate with suppliers to determine the final supply price based on market conditions to ensure that it can both protect the interests of suppliers and attract consumers.
