There is a clear difference between the local stores and cross-border stores of Meikeduo Brazil. The local stores are more down-to-earth, integrating local culture and characteristics, and providing services and products that are closer to the tastes of local people; while the cross-border stores are more international, introducing special products from various countries, as well as more services and experiences that are in line with international standards. Whether it is a local store or a cross-border store, Meikeduo is committed to providing customers with the best shopping experience. Let’s take a look at the main differences between the local stores and cross-border stores of Meikeduo Brazil.
1. Differences in sales scope
The local stores of Meikeduo Brazil attach importance to serving the local market in Brazil, based on localized business strategies and sales activities. Deeply meet the needs of local buyers. However, cross-border stores span the international market, facing buyers from multiple countries, involving a wider sales range. This difference is also directly related to the realization of profits and the excavation of potential in terms of target audiences, market competition and consumption trends.
2. Product delivery and transportation costs
The product delivery methods of local stores and cross-border merchants are obviously different. Local stores can use domestic logistics services in Brazil, such as express delivery and delivery to reduce delivery time and costs. In contrast, cross-border stores need to use international freight to cope with the challenges of transportation standards and timeliness in different countries, and the logistics costs are relatively high. This also requires comprehensive consideration of profit calculations to ensure the universality and competitiveness of products in various markets.
3. Product pricing and market competition
Product pricing is an important part of the profit calculation of local stores and cross-border stores. Local store pricing should take into account the price sensitivity and competitive landscape of the Brazilian domestic market to maintain market share. Cross-border stores need to consider the needs and consumption capacity of different national markets for pricing, while coping with the fierce competition in the international market. The difference in pricing strategy is directly related to the realization of sales volume and profit level.
4. Payment method and after-sales service
The difference between payment method and after-sales service is directly related to the buyer’s consumption experience. Local stores provide common payment methods in Brazil to ensure the convenience of transactions. In order to meet the payment requirements of buyers in different countries and regions, cross-border stores need to provide better international payment methods. In terms of after-sales service, cross-border stores may need to face the test of different relevant laws and regulations, so refund and after-sales policies need to be more detailed and flexible.
5. Profit calculation and business model
The difference between local stores and cross-border stores in Brazil is not only reflected in marketing and services, but also has a profound impact on the completion of profit calculation. Local stores can enjoy low transportation costs and fewer tariffs, but they need to move forward cautiously amid competition and price sensitivity in the local market. Cross-border stores face higher logistics and tariff costs, but they can expand their sales scope and seize international market opportunities.
When estimating profits, in addition to considering factors such as procurement costs, operating costs, transportation costs, tariffs and rates, it is also necessary to comprehensively consider product sales expectations and pricing strategies. Flexible profit calculation methods may require different operating models and product advantages to ensure that the final corporate decision is in line with corporate strategies and goals.
