First, offline channels: wholesale markets, commodity cities, and manufacturers get goods.
Offline channels are divided into product types, and different product types have different ways to get goods. Let's talk about the markets around the Pearl River Delta and where to get the goods.
1. Access channels and requirements for fruit sales:
Requirements: Have a car, preferably a pickup truck or a minivan of about 2.5.
Commodity markets: Foshan Fuxi Fruit Market, Dongguan Xia Qiao Fruit Market, Guangzhou Zengcheng Fruit Market or Qinghe Market, Shenzhen Genzhuyuan Agricultural Approval Market, Nanshan Xili Fruit Market (mainly litchi and pitaya), Huizhou Boluo Fruit Market and Qingyuan Xintiandi Fruit Market.
Advantages and disadvantages: Among these markets, Fuxi in Foshan and Xia Qiao in Dongguan are more comprehensive. These two places are relatively large in the fruit supply chain of the Pearl River Delta.
2, clothes get goods channel:
Commodity markets: Humen Yellow River Market, Guangzhou Baima Market, Shenzhen East Gate and Guangzhou Xiasha.
Pros and cons: Humen Yellow River market is dominated by knitting and sweaters, Dongmen market is relatively comprehensive, Baima market is more expensive, and there are more tail orders in Xiasha, but Xiasha water is deep, so it may be impossible to find a place to get goods.
3. Small commodity receiving channel: Yiwu Commodity City.
Yiwu Commodity City doesn't have to go to Zhejiang. There will be Yiwu Commodity City in every major city, and there are also some with relatively low unit price. For example, in the Pearl River Delta region, I have been to Yiwu Commodity City near Dongguan John Wan Station, where stalls are suitable, including: plush toys (mainly ferrules), luminous toys (suitable for children), hair clips (not necessarily good to sell) and socks (quite good to sell).
Second, online channels: the first one is 1688, and the others have never been used.
Most online channels use Alibaba, but some online leather bag companies are doing business in the form of trade, so online, you have to find a merchant who is a manufacturer.
How do manufacturers search?
There is an iron law in the whole network, which belongs to manufacturers and ranks poorly, so most of them are ranked on the front page, so don't look, turn down, usually look at five or six pages, and there will be a bunch of manufacturers hiding. If you get the goods from them, the unit price is lower and the quality is controllable.
How to tell which is the manufacturer?
Sign 1: The decoration is generally not very good, because these people don't understand network optimization.
Sign 2: Check the company address. The address of the manufacturer is usually zero. XXX District/Town XXX, XXX City, and the name of the leather bag company is NO. XX, XXX building, XXX building.
Sign 3: No on-site authentication, no transaction, openness and integrity, but no online sales. Because these bosses are not really short of customers, but have always wanted to do the network, but they have never recruited talents, and the network has been bad.
This is the purchase channel and some small methods I know. I'm just a semi-novice stall owner crossing the river by feeling the stones, but I should be able to row a wave of thunder.
