All intermediaries for consumers are purchasing agent, how to position and act the purchasing agent role?
A few years ago, I have some retailers provide the “guest book” on the left his ideas, such as “I wish I could buy a lollipop soft handle, with yi sugar materials is better, because it can avoid the child in the fall” by the stiff stalk of lollipop, “I don”t hope to have flip seasoning box, press type or able to control the dose, lest sour seasoning it is exposed to air for a long time”, “I hope that in the kitchen appliances (such as seasoning box) on the design of the alarm clock function, was cooking in the kitchen and sitting room between running trouble”. In the guest book have left their contact way at the same time, expect the businessman after purchasing such products to let us know.A few years later, these wishes are not true, I didn”t even receive a retailer”s reply. Later asked some friend who works at a retail store: “how do you deal with the customer”s information, especially the demand information?” Answer yue: “sometimes the meeting, will reflect some memorable requirements, customer requirements are mostly don”t remember. Rarely asked these executives.” Alas, I am a ordinary consumers desire cannot be met.
I know there are many consumers like me, after the demand is proposed and has long been ignored become numb, day after day, year after year to purchase the goods are not satisfied, they have lost communication with the merchants of enthusiasm and confidence. Although today”s businessmen all with “the customer is supreme” as the slogan, but the real focus on changes in consumers” demand for the unremitting efforts of businesses and how many?

Do clothing wholesale business matters needing attention

Do clothing wholesale business matters needing attention and the purchasing agent can do for you?

Clothing wholesale business in recent years are not very good, so we should adopt an appropriate business strategy, to run the clothing business, but if a business clothing will not carefully into the erroneous zone, so we should how to avoid it, here are a few considerations clothing wholesale business.

1: don’t do analysis into blindly

A lot of people decided to do clothing wholesale business, is to do up all of a sudden, renting, replenish onr’s stock, opening is very busy. Time is a good thing, but no analysis, no planning is reckless. A small business is his life work, is the need to invest money and energy, so do some basic analysis is necessary before opening. Don’t say more, at least to answer a few questions: where do? What style? What price? Whether you do style, price and place business circle line? What characteristics do you want? Why consumers choose to buy your clothes? If the answers to these basic questions are not clear, I think it is better to go to the market, understand the market and understand the competitors in the future.
This is the very simple reason: in what mountain song. You can’t sell the low area of high-grade goods, because there is a low consumer; You also can’t sell the mature area sportswear, because there is to buy a suit or something like that. To do so is not distinctive, but there is a problem. To make characteristics must also be consistent with the style of whole business circle on the basis of looking for features, not in the category, the target market for the so-called “characteristics” and “difference”, it will backfire.

2: don’t look at the market hard hard work

Now is not a seller’s market, what will you sell anyone want, sell what can sell go out, even though everyone knows this truth but always forget when doing things. Many just begin to do the boss go to the wholesale market purchase only choose oneself to like, and management of goods in yourself is not a basic plan, the results back pin also blame the guests don’t bargain. Consumer recognition is a good thing, I like do not represent the guest must love, we must study yes preferences rather than your preferences.
Clothing wholesale business expert management analysis function can help you avoid this problem effectively, through analyzing the operating data of the past, you can see that the goods are more likely to be approved, may be a hot commodity, your members prefer goods, divided into what goods. Understand the customer’s preferences, replenish onr’s stock is more targeted, sell goods more easily and effectively reduce inventory backlog.

necessary for need purchasing agent?

Posted on 2016-06-23 by SourcingHelper Team

The necessary for purchasing agents, why do you need a purchasing agent?

China is a great country, it is super low price and high quality product source, all the major electronics manufacturers use Chinese parts and components.At the same time, China has a lot of low quality products and a growing number of telecommunications fraud. Do you know the difference?Here are a few things that will cause you to be on your guard when you are looking for a Chinese supplier:

Payment: Western Union or money gram? Not a good choice?

Address of the office – living address? Bad choice

The telephone number, mobile phone number, not a good choice?

Bank account, individual, is not the company commercial bank account? Bad choice

E-mail address – no company e-mail? Bad choice

How important it is to understand the problem of network fraud, so what can you do to protect yourself from fraud is also great?

I would like to say is that the Google search “China fraud” will return the results of 14 million 800 thousand.

While many websites offer valuable advice to protect themselves from online fraud. There are black lists and special forums, which will help you not to repeat the mistakes of others. However, these can make sure that you will make the right decision. If you make a mistake, you are likely to lose money.

In addition, there are many cultural differences between the western world and China, and you may lose money even if the seller is completely honest with the Chinese standard.

In the end, the best way is to hire a local purchasing agent. The purchasing agent will not only verify the existence of the suppliers, but also provide a lot of useful information, such as:

Do you have a similar supplier? Your competitors and better conditions can be purchased from them?

Does the quality of the supplier’’s raw materials have a guarantee? Purchasing agents can go to the site to check the raw materials.

Guangzhou, Yiwu and Qingdao are the three main producing areas of China’s jewelry accessories. No matter you are purchasing by any ways, the suppliers are all from these three cities. Each of them has their own characteristics.

a. Guangzhou-Best Quality and Most Specialized City of China’s Jewelry Accessories

Jewelry industry in Guangzhou was leaded up from Hong Kong, as their position are very close. So Guangzhou’s jewelry styles and designs are the most innovative and closest to international fashion trend. Jewelry businessmen from Yiwu usually visit Guangzhou to buy some new styles, then produce accordingly. The maturity of Guangzhou’s jewelry industry makes its quality higher than other cities.

But the MOQ of Guangzhou’s suppliers are normally higher, which means Guangzhou is not suitable for small-quantity importers (hundreds units of one item). Except you are their old customer, they may help to do some occasional small orders.

You can find lots of jewelry wholesale markets in Guangzhou, such as Xijiao Building, Liwan Plaza, and Market of South-China International Little Commodities.Xijiao Building is located near Guangzhou train station, most of products inside are with high quality and price. If you are interested in high-level jewelries, you cannot miss this market. The main products in Liwan Plaza are crystal and jade products. Market of South-China International Little Commodities is an omnibus market with abundance suppliers.
