It's my first time buying a product, what should I do?
Actually, if I go a few times, it's nothing, but when I first go, I'm scared that it's obvious that I'm a beginner, and I don't think I'll sell it because it's a small purchase. I think I'll ignore him. Actually, why did I worry about that at first when I went to Namdaemun Wholesale Market a few times? That's what I think.
1) Minimum purchase quantity
This is the problem at first. I just started selling on the Internet, so I can't buy a lot at once because I don't have money, and how many should I buy per design...I'm curious about at least how much I have to do when I make a purchase.
First, I will see how many I need to buy per design. Of course, it's different depending on the store, but if it's your first time visiting...It is recommended that you do at least three per design.
Of course, we don't sell one per design to first-time visitors. Of course, if we made some transactions, we will sell one per design when we reorder it later.
There are so many people who sell on the Internet that Internet sellers tend to sell without much inventory, so the wholesale company supplies one per design.
However, if it's your first time going to a store, think that you buy at least three per design in your mind, and choose a product and *"Please give it to me like this~"* You can say that.
"How many should I do per design?"
The moment you say that, you feel like a beginner.
In fact, there is no rule that you should buy at least a certain amount. The stores I visited a few times also give me a good feeling of 20,000 won to 30,000 won. In fact, I think wholesalers are more important than the total purchase price.
If someone comes and says, *Give me one design for everything*, the wholesaler will refuse even if the total purchase price is large. This is because Chinese manufacturers or domestic competitive wholesalers are very wary of buying samples and producing themselves.
So, I think it's more important how many pieces we do per design than the total amount
If the product in one store is pretty, please choose two first. The important thing is that there should be a certain amount of money in total. If the total amount is more than 200,000 won, we can sell it even if we choose two.
Pick 2 each and say, "Please give it to me like this."You can say "~" proudly. If you ask for two for each design to buy a small quantity, "You have to do three each." It's easy to hear, "You have to do five per design."
In the past, the minimum quantity per design was more than 10, at least 5, but these days, there are many places that do more than three per design. Of course, there are sometimes shops that don't do this.
2) "Are you running a business?" What should I say at the store I visit for the first time?
If you haven't been to Namdaemun Wholesale Market many times... I feel awkward whenever I go to the store. Especially, the store owners... When a customer comes in, something... If you don't feel like you're doing business or if you're shy, ask.
"Are you running a business?"" Are you a seller?"
So how do I answer this?
You can just "Yes. Retailer" or "Yes, I am selling at shop"
There is no need to talk about selling on smart stores or SNS. Actually, I don't buy a lot of Smart Stoana Instagram, so you can just call it a store or a shopping mall. Or you can talk about it first.
I'm curious about the price of the product when I go to the store. But it's kind of weird to ask about the price of the product...I don't think I'll teach you. I think I'll ignore you because you're a beginner.At times like that... Confident! You can ask questions.
"I'm internet seller. How much is that?~"
"I'm buying... How much is that?~"
You can ask as if you are a frequent visitor to the wholesale market.
3) But...Why are you suddenly giving me a plate? What is this?
Actually, come to think of it... I went to buy it at the wholesale market for the first time, and I thought it was strange because they gave me a square plate without saying anything in front of me. In fact, people who've been involved a lot... Go to the store and say something.
"Please give me a plate"
This means *"I'm going to buy things. Give me a plate to put things on."* That is, give me a shopping cart to put things on…It's the same thing. So, if you think you're going to buy something when you see me at the wholesale store, you just give me the plate without saying anything. Or *talk about "Do you want a version?"*
It also has the effect of holding a plate in your hand and making you buy it psychologically, but if you think you're going to buy something, I'll ask for a plate anyway, so I'm just giving you a plate in advance.
4) How to hide a beginner's face
This is a simple tip, but those who often go to Namdaemun Wholesale Market don't have time. So even if it's my first time going to a store, I know the overall price, so I'll ask a little bit of the price...I'm just choosing a product. And leave a nice comment and disappear.
" I'll be back later~"
What it means is *"Since you chose it like this, please take care of the item, and I'll look around other stores and come back and get the item."*
If you buy it in the store, you'll be pressed for time. So I stop by one store and rush to pick things up, and it takes a lot of time to check the quantity, check the amount, write down the name and price on the receipt, and calculate the total.
So at this point, you say *"I'll be back"* and then you disappear beautifully.
Let's take a look at [behavior patterns of people who've been involved a lot]
- It passes through the wholesale stores while looking through the products.
- It stops for a while at a store that seems to have a product you like.
- If you have a product that you like after looking at it a little by little...It says like this.
"Give me the plate"
After selecting the product design one by one... I say it again.
"Give me 3 for each design"
"Come back soon"
It means to look around other stores while packing 3 pieces for each design, and when you come back, the product you ordered at that time will be put in black plastic bag and prepared in advance.
And "Give me a receipt"…I don't even say . Because, of course, They will give you a receipt with the item even if you don't ask them.
But if someone says this, "Please put the receipt in the plastic back"…It also means, "I'm just a beginner."
"Do you issue a tax invoice?"…I don't even say. because... If you give them 10% VAT, They will issue the tax invoice as much as the transaction amount.
They think you're a beginner to ask obvious questions.
"Can I get a cash receipt?"
Of course I don't ask this too. Because most wholesalers issue tax invoices not a cash receipt. Because if wholesalers want to issue cash receipts, the issuance process is cumbersome
Retailers have to pay immediately with [wholesale + VAT] if they want to have a cash receipt, but the process is cumbersome, so they do not issue cash receipts.
In a way, it's not a big deal, but...When I go to Namdaemun wholesale market for the first time, I'm also curious about the basics.
We've just started, but it's natural that you don't know, so you don't have to worry too much.
