What is consignment?

Question 1: What does consignment mean? The so-called consignment means that the manufacturer or agent gives the product to the wholesaler or retailer for sale, and then collects the payment after the wholesaler or retailer sells the product at a specified time. In fact, it is a "trial" process for manufacturers (agents) to hand over products to merchants. If the "trial" is successful, the merchant will deliver the product. Consignment is risky, and the products sold by manufacturers can neither receive loans nor get back the goods.

Question 2: What is consignment? If you want to buy and sell a product, you have two choices: distribution and consignment.

Intuitively speaking, distribution means that you buy back the goods in cash and then sell them, while consignment means that you get them first and then sell them, and then settle the payment with the supplier according to the actual quantity sold after the agreed time.

Obviously, if it is a supplier (or manufacturer), it will give priority to delivery, because it can be settled directly to get the money back. If it is a buyer (or an intermediary seller), it will greatly reduce the risk and not occupy funds.

Question 3: What does consignment mean? Be specific. It can be simply understood as selling things for others, but you are the boss.

Anyone can have this information, even without it, it is easy to be found.

But not everyone can open a good store, and everyone can do it in the end.

Why do some people have to break through something even if they don't know the poor foundation?

Because they always believe that they can do it well and make unremitting efforts for it.

And some people, even if they are smart and have high IQ, are hard to do well.

Because of lack of self-confidence, it is easy to lose direction and confidence when encountering some difficulties.

Question 4: What does consignment mean? What kind of sales model is agent sales? Generally speaking, manufacturers find a seller to sell their products in a designated area (a province or a region) in order to maintain the profits of manufacturers in this area and then distribute them to the sellers in a certain way. In this way, the manufacturer's products have a profit guarantee, avoiding mutual price suppression and monopolizing the price of some products in the market. So many manufacturers want to have their own agents. As for the payment, each manufacturer has its own regulations. Generally, small factories give agents a relatively large profit, which will also pave the way for some funds. In short, there were many advantages at that time, but the disadvantage was that the quality of the three guarantees was not good. Once the profits you create for manufacturers decrease, they won't tell you what honesty is. Compared with famous brand manufacturers, it is simply awesome. I didn't pave the way before, but now I don't give it. Of course, it's scary to see relationships. Online products are generally nameless products, so you should pay attention to them.

Question 5: Confusion about how to sell on a commission basis.

There are too many online suppliers, but in fact there are very few suppliers with real strength; If you make the wrong choice in the first step, you will continue to move forward on this wrong choice, and eventually you will not be able to do it. It doesn't mean that we should be willing to find the source of goods, nor that they are willing to provide data packets. It's not what it was. It is better to find a partner than a supplier. Because there are countless people who can provide goods, they can find goods with their eyes closed. .....

Just like me seven years ago, I happened to meet Taobao seven years ago; From consignment to self-sale, from a desperate young man who can only type to an entrepreneur. Everything I said is true, including the following. The difference is that times have changed, and the paradise at that time has become the current stadium. Most newcomers who have a soft spot for opening stores and want to enter the Taobao world have seen successful examples. What they can't see is 80% losers, and 8 of the 28 rules are often ignored, because the darkest flowers always need light to see clearly. This is so frustrating. How do newcomers with little experience and no funds find a foothold on Taobao?

This is the problem to be discussed in this chapter.

Consignment or distribution refers to a mode in which suppliers want to push products to the market, develop sellers and sell products to the market through sellers; Generally speaking, what we often talk about now is the cooperation between online sales suppliers and e-commerce. For example, Taobao women's clothing agent. For e-commerce companies that are short of funds and time and want to open online stores, the best source of goods is consignment, which has an important premise-to find a supplier with strength, responsibility and technical will. After ten years of precipitation, Taobao has become a diversified, refined and standardized e-commerce platform. Many functions and rules are refined into very small modules, and the competition is unprecedented. Such businesses, referred to as "blood sellers" for short, make explosions at any cost, and powerful peers will inevitably respond. Most of their reactions are: your low price, I am lower, staring at you. This is a vicious, intense and continuous circular competition. Small and medium-sized sellers who are new to Taobao simply don't have much chance to find a foothold; The overwhelming loss-making low-priced goods have made buyers accustomed to competing, and also made many small and medium-sized sellers daunting and helpless; Personally, premature maturity and tit-for-tat actions can easily lead to the premature decline of the store.

10 years ago, we could make a fortune on Taobao as long as we attended the meeting; Eight years ago, as long as you opened more stores, you would be in an invincible position; Even 7 years ago, as long as we took the brand route, we could still succeed on Taobao. Five years ago, you could spend a long time on Taobao as long as you could use the through train. Since then, Taobao has changed very frequently, updating rules and modifying functions almost every few days. From the weakening of praise to the cancellation of gold medal sellers ... from the actual shooting of details to the attack of stealing pictures ... after the impact of U station, Taobao extinguished the dazzling light of U station, and the webmaster began to be confused; She suppressed too many dimensions, including websites, sellers, service providers, software vendors and even collaborators. After countless times of baptism and innovation, she has evolved into Taobao today. Even so, she is still the leader of e-commerce and a paradise that sellers are eager to enter.

Finding reliable partners is the prerequisite for the survival of small and medium-sized sellers, not simple suppliers. The general online suppliers are usually: 1. Supply. 2. Provide data packets. Sell it and place an order. If you don't sell, I will still attract investment ... The same promises and services have long been unable to meet the needs of sellers.

First, the change of Taobao, the refinement of Taobao traffic, the attack of map theft and infringement, and the change of rules;

The second is the change of consumers. Smart buyers are no longer those stupid customers in the past. Their sense of smell is more sensitive than that of wolves. They can't help but know the price fluctuation several kilometers away. They are used to discussing in small circles and like to hang out on platforms such as U Station.

Third, peer disputes, peer prices will always be lower than you, always with your bad ideas, when your sales volume rises, maybe it is your peers who complain about you; All these three points determine that what we need is a collaborator. Partners need to meet the following conditions:

1. Provide stable, diversified, low-cost, popular and safe sources, quickly update products and attract old customers back. You know, only the new ... >>

Question 6: The difference between consignment and consignment. I think the main difference between consignment and consignment is that one is to buy things from merchants, and the other is to ask merchants to sell things. Consignment is to give a fixed salary, and consignment is to make a net profit from selling goods.

Question 7: What is consignment? Distribution means that dealers sell products for foreign suppliers according to agreed conditions. The two parties enter into an agreement or mutual agreement, and the supplier regularly and quantitatively supplies the distributor, and the distributor sells it in the domestic market. There is also a buying and selling relationship between dealers and suppliers. Distributors must purchase goods from suppliers in a self-financing way, sell them themselves, and be responsible for their own profits and losses and risks.

Full name of consignment: online shop consignment, also known as online shop agent. Online shop sales are basically divided into virtual goods sales and physical goods sales. Consignment refers to some websites that provide online wholesale services or vendors that can provide wholesale sources, and reach an agreement with people who want to do online shop consignment, providing them with data such as pictures of goods, rather than physical objects, and providing them to online shop consignors for sale at the consignment price. Generally speaking, the online shop agent sells the goods pictures and other information provided by the wholesale website on his own online shop, and informs the wholesale website to deliver the goods for him after selling the goods. The goods sold are only sent from the wholesale website to the buyer of the online shop agent, and the online shop agent can't see the sold goods in this process. The after-sales service of online shop consignment is also exercised by wholesale websites.

Question 8: What's the difference between agency and consignment? Consignment means that the manufacturer entrusts a middleman to sell the goods in the name of the middleman, and the manufacturer is responsible for its own profits and losses. The middleman only takes commission. If the product cannot be sold, the product can still be returned to the principal. Affiliates, like sales agents, do not own the ownership of products, but only have the right to sell goods on behalf of clients, so they can only charge commissions. The difference between agency and consignment is obvious:

Theoretically speaking, a sales agent is a direct agent, while a consignment is an indirect agent.

In fact, the affiliate sells products in its own name; In a sales agent, the agent sells products in the name of the principal.

(3) The sales agency relationship is generally lasting, and most of them have clear and detailed agency contracts. The agency relationship is short and the agency contract is rough.

④ Sales agents are generally wholesalers, and franchisees are generally retailers.

Question 9: What is distribution? What is consignment? What is the issue price? What is the consignment price? Distribution-operating sales.

Consignment on behalf of others

Question 10: What do distribution, consignment and supplier mean respectively? The dealer has the goods in hand, but the dealer has no goods in hand, which belongs to short selling. The supplier who asks for the difference is our manufacturer, and we don't do first-line sales.
