Helping People Run Errands: Buying Gold On Behalf Of Angels

There are many people's regrets that "people have me without", but some people see business opportunities from them, and help others achieve "people have I have" to get profits from it.

This is purchasing.

Chen Siyu, a semi professional purchasing agent, is through such a small and risky way, with the highest monthly net income of 8000 yuan.

Chen Siyu is now a white-collar worker in a patent office in Shanghai.

Another job is to buy a full time IKEA online on Taobao.

Input cost: because the cost of goods purchase and pportation cost are all paid by the buyer, the cost of purchasing agent is very low. The main cost is the pportation cost and manpower cost that go back to the purchasing point. Basically, there is no need for other inputs.

On the Internet, there are many related purchasing shops, such as Hongkong's purchasing electronic products stores, overseas purchasing cosmetics stores, and all kinds of shops that buy brand-name clothes. They are buying and purchasing the mainland buyers by using geographical advantages and convenience, and collecting a certain purchasing fee from them.

The purchasing income is generally 10%~15% of the commodity price, depending on the commodity.

Buying and selling online shops is pparent, quality is guaranteed, credit is easy to accumulate, sales volume and purchasing income are rising.

Like most professional purchasing agents, the "good angel" daily work includes: sorting out the credentials of the day before delivery, introducing the products to buyers from all over the country, negotiating with the buyers about the price, getting the goods and contacting the express delivery.

The "angel" is the net name. Her real name is Chen Siyu. He is a Shanghai girl. In 2005, in October, she opened a IKEA purchasing shop on Taobao, and went on the way of purchasing.

In the past month, her monthly sales volume has reached 80 thousand yuan.

She said she ranked second in Taobao rankings in a few weeks.

According to the usual purchasing agency, the seller generally charges 10% purchase fees, and her profit is at least around 8000 yuan this month.

Of course, most of the time, Chen Siyu's income is not so high, averaging around 3000 yuan per month, which is quite good for a part-time job.

Chen Siyu told reporters that she is currently working in a patent office. There are many people in Shanghai who know her, who have had a good job like him.

Chen Siyu's ultimate goal was to open a small shop belonging to himself and expand his business so as to fulfill his dream of starting an undertaking.

When Chen Siyu first talked about her opening experience, she felt very casual. "One of my college classmates suddenly told me that she had opened a shop on the Internet to sell cosmetics and let her have a look.

The action of her classmates inspired her, because Chen Siyu had been trying to find a part-time job to earn some pocket money in his spare time.

And online shop is in line with her characteristics: no money, no need to spend too much formalities, her work has plenty of time to access the Internet.

When she first started, she did not think of buying.

Hastily hang up some things that are idle at home in the shop and begin to be familiar with the operation and operation of the shop.

Because it is idle, so Chen Siyu's prices are relatively low, less than a few days, she hung up things to buy a 7788.

When she was excited, she began to agony again, because she had not found the right product and future business objectives.

"I saw many people selling cosmetics, selling clothes, selling computer supplies and so on on the Internet. They were very good. I also thought about whether I could do it, but I immediately denied myself.

Because these things are very cumbersome to prepare, and they do not even have a stable purchase channel.

"She said," she said.

She told reporters that she had been checking all kinds of sellers and stores in Taobao or eBay for a time to find a suitable product.

When IKEA shop appeared, she suddenly became clear.

The store, which specializes in selling IKEA products, is very prosperous. What attracts her most is that there is no need to worry about the supply of goods.

Chen Siyu, who is disconsolate for the lack of goods that can be sold online, has a good design, good quality, stable source of goods, and best opportunity to keep inventory free.

So, the mice love rice, Chen Siyu IKEA products purchasing shop.

After that, she had a natural flat, and she contacted the shopkeeper. The other side was very enthusiastic and introduced the situation to her, so that she had the urge to try.

On the second day, she spent 3 hours distributing goods on the Internet, logging on to IKEA's website, adding all the pictures of the above products to her own online shop, and then she could not accept it.

Why did IKEA choose IKEA to buy on behalf of the company? Actually, there are many related purchasing shops on the Internet. So what makes IKEA choose to buy it?

Chen Siyu told reporters that she is an old IKEA, and has always been very fond of IKEA products.

And through her 1 years of experience, Chen Siyu congratulated herself on choosing IKEA to buy it, "because IKEA products are the most suitable products to buy on behalf of all the purchasing products.

"IKEA" and "IKEA" will not fail to mention the characteristics of IKEA and IKEA products.

Since IKEA entered China, IKEA has been favored by Chinese white-collar families.

Far from Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, many small and medium income cities in China are expecting a IKEA family.

This means that IKEA products have a very large market demand.

However, at present, IKEA has opened 3 stores in China only in Shanghai, Beijing, and Guangzhou. For the other urban residents who like IKEA, they want to buy IKEA things. They have to go all the way to these three cities. The cost of pportation and accommodation are very high.

This provides the foundation for purchasing.

Chen Siyu introduces, because IKEA has its own website, the above detailed introduction, almost solved all the puzzles and questions of all purchasing agents: IKEA has more than 7 thousand kinds of merchandise, each has beautiful pictures and text descriptions, and has a good classification system, which can be used for copying and printing.

Download is also very convenient.

There are models in the picture, which have prices and are easy to identify.

This solves the trouble that the general online merchants should take pictures of the goods, upload them and upload them, but also worry about the description of the products.

Chen Siyu said IKEA has a very stable price system, and customers will not get preferential treatment because of the large volume of purchases.

The special products are posted on the Internet and sold out.

The extremely pparent price system enables almost all the online shopping outlets, old and new, to get only 10% of the purchase cost.

And this kind of cost is what customers are willing to pay.

The competition of purchasing online stores can only be in the service interface.

"Another important thing is that IKEA's products are almost removable and are especially suitable for the pport of buyers.

IKEA has many free packaging materials, so long as you have patience, you can wrap it up to what you think is solid.

"Good angel," said Chen Siyu.

For Chen Siyu, she feels that this is definitely tailored for her. There is no need to worry about the supply of goods, packaging, returns, and so on. All the problems that Chinese purchasing agents worry about, IKEA has solved it for you.

The remaining problem is that you come to IKEA's cashier to pay for the delivery.

The more important thing is that the unit where she works is located next to IKEA mall in Shanghai, so she doesn't have to pay extra pportation cost for purchasing.

With less time to work, all of this gives her enough time and space to do the purchasing business.

As soon as we start hiring people to help people, like all online stores, there will be a problem at the beginning, credit.

Initial credit is too low, for foreign buyers, online shopping is always a great risk.

Chen Siyu said, now the problem has been solved. Taking Taobao as an example, because of Alipay system, buyer must pay the buyer's confirmation before the money can be sold to the seller's account.

"If the buyer is not satisfied with the goods, or if there is any damage, he can apply for a refund directly.

This provides a basis for trust between buyers and sellers.

"Because of the large number of people who like IKEA products, there are still a few businesses going on every day, even if credit is not high.

"In the first few months, sales were only a few hundred dollars a month.

"But she is not worried at all, because as a purchasing agent," zero inventory risk ", unlike other businesses, bears enormous psychological pressure for the backlog of goods.

"I don't need to press goods. Only when someone orders and pays through the website, will I go to IKEA to purchase.

"Said the angel.

In this way, through the accumulation of several months, her online store's credit gradually accumulates, and as her credit goes up, her business is getting better and better.

Up to now, the credit of her online store has reached 4 diamonds, and nearly more than 4000 pactions have been successful. "This does not include buyers who directly pay through banks.

"Chen Siyu introduced, purchasing online shop, credit accumulation is relatively easy, as long as there is enough patience, can slowly rise.

Because the prices of purchasing things are pparent, buyers will not worry that they have bought a high price.

At the beginning, in order to accumulate credit, discount can be made for purchasing agents, such as selecting some hot commodities, collecting low purchasing fees or purchasing bills, and can quickly accumulate credit.

In the early days of the opening shop, Chen Siyu was taking care of himself by himself, including online buyers and IKEA buyers.

"Because it was a part-time job, I didn't think that purchasing would be so tired. Now it gets up at 7 o'clock every day, until the computer sleeps at 1 o'clock in the morning. It's not so easy as everyone imagined.

If you want to be a professional purchasing agent, you need to think clearly.

"She said," she said.

With the development of online stores, Chen Siyu has been too busy to work in his life.

So, she hired two people to be full-time customer service staff in her online shop. One day was on duty and one night was on duty. She was responsible for communicating with buyers on the Internet to determine the products they wanted.

Then the customer service member will gather the information to her, and Chen Siyu will go to IKEA to purchase and deliver the goods.

This basically saves me most of the time, and I don't have to do business on the Internet all day.

"And Chen Siyu paid the cost of the two customer service to 400 yuan per person per month.

"Actually, I did not act as an agent.

It can be said that the sale of a service is to buy something for customers to earn a certain amount of hardship.

Finally, the angel sighed sincerely.

I have not counted how many online stores are buying IKEA products, but I think this cake is not enough to eat.

In addition to Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, Chengdu has opened IKEA stores recently, and I feel that every day there are new shopping outlets for IKEA products.

"Online shopping" is a new industry.

And because of its zero cost advantage, it also makes it full of business opportunities.

As Chen Siyu said in the article, purchasing is actually selling a service.

Therefore, honesty is the key to survival.

A small profit can only destroy one's own job.

On the other hand, there are also risks in buying and purchasing: the first thing is that the goods will be damaged and lost in the process of mail delivery. The buyers should bear the losses. The two is that the customers should return the goods and the buyers will suffer. Although IKEA has no reason to return the goods, the cost of delivery will still be borne by the seller.
