The top choice for Taiwanese people's side business, no pressure for merchants to stock up! A Comprehensive Guide to Making Money through Mainland Consolidated Shipping and Purchasing

Still looking for a side business that suits Taiwanese people? Many small business owners and office workers in Taiwan around me are complaining: They want to do side jobs but are afraid of the pressure of stockpiling goods; they invest a lot but are afraid of losing money; they have the intention to make money but have no direction! Today, Xiaotao will guide you step by step on how to use the Mainland Consolidated Shipping and Purchasing Side Business. Hand it over! No need for a large sum of money or stockpiling goods. Even beginners can quickly get started. It's especially suitable for Taiwanese merchants, office workers, and students. Hurry up and take your time to read

Why choose this side hustle? The advantages are directly maximized!
Zero stocking pressure

There is no need to advance money for purchasing goods. After customers place orders, merchants will purchase or consolidate the goods on their behalf. There is no inventory risk at all. Taiwanese merchants can also do it easily.

Low threshold for getting started

No professional skills are required. As long as one knows how to shop online and communicate, beginners can get familiar with the process within 1-2 days.

  Large profit margin

The products on Taobao and Pinduoduo in the Chinese mainland offer extremely high cost performance. After purchasing through a proxy and adding a reasonable price difference, you can easily earn the price difference.

  Demand is extremely strong

Many people in Taiwan like the affordable accessories, home goods and special snacks from the Chinese mainland. However, buying them themselves is expensive and the process is complicated. This problem just solves this pain point!

Determine the scope of the purchasing agency and precisely select products (the key to making money!)
Never blindly act as a proxy buyer! It is recommended to start with these three types of products, which have high demand and few after-sales services:
1. Affordable jewelry/accessories

Earrings, necklaces, hairpins and the like are novel in style, light in weight and low in shipping cost. Young girls love to buy them very much.

2. Home essentials/Storage supplies:

Storage boxes, kitchen gadgets and cleaning supplies from the Chinese mainland are practical and inexpensive, and there is a high demand for them among Taiwanese families

  3. Specialty Snacks/Niche Cosmetics

Rare local snacks from the Chinese mainland and affordable cosmetics in Taiwan offer good value for money and are easy to make sales

Warning to avoid pitfalls: Do not sell liquid, powder or battery-powered products as they may cause problems during subsequent consolidation and transportation.

Nor do they purchase counterfeit products of big brands on behalf of others. It's illegal and damages one's reputation!

Build sales channels and accumulate customer sources
1. Online

Product images and text can be posted on Facebook groups (Taiwan Local Shopping Group, Girls' Good Things Group), IG/ Xiaohongshu, clearly indicating product information and purchasing agency rules.

  2. Offline

Cooperate with local small stores in Taiwan, display product samples (no need to stock up, just show a few popular items), and then purchase on behalf of others when someone buys.

3. Maintenance of regular customers

Set up a LINE group, regularly post new products and promotional activities, and offer small discounts (such as a NT $20 discount or a small gift) to old customers when introducing new ones. Your customer base will keep increasing

Communicate and place an order to confirm the details
1. Confirm clearly with the customer:

Product style, size, color, quantity, and whether pre-order is accepted (some products may take 1-3 days to be dispatched)

2. Make the quotation clear
3. Collect the deposit

To prevent customers from running away with their orders, a deposit of 30% to 50% of the total amount can be collected. The remaining balance should be paid up after the goods arrive before shipment.

  4. Place an order to purchase

Use your own Taobao or Pinduoduo account to fill in the address of the mainland consolidation warehouse (which will be elaborated later).

Money-making tips that beginners must read

1. Product selection should follow the trendPay attention to the best-selling lists on Taobao and Pinduoduo in the Chinese mainland, as well as seasonal products (such as summer MATS and winter hand warmers). Popular products are more likely to generate sales

2. Control the profit marginFor beginners, it is advisable to appropriately reduce the handling fee in the early stage (for instance, by 3% to 5%), and then gradually adjust it after accumulating a customer base. Under no circumstances should you ask for an exorbitant price, which could damage your reputation

 3.Follow up on logistics in a timely mannerFrom placing orders on behalf of customers to consolidated shipping and delivery, each link should be promptly sent to customers to make them feel your dedication and increase the repurchase rate

 4.Regular summaryEvery week, check which products sell well and which ones are not asked about. Adjust the product selection direction based on the data to make money in the long term

Low-risk Stockpiling Guide: A Must-read for Taiwanese Merchants (Stockpiling as Needed to Avoid waste)

The first step: Choose the right products to stock up on and avoid hoarding blindly

1. Prioritize the best-selling and stable models:

From the order data of the past 1-2 months, select the products that have repeatedly placed orders and high customer inquiry rates (such as popular earrings and practical storage boxes). These products have clear demand and are less likely to be overstocked

2. Avoid products with strong seasonality

Unless it is about to enter the peak season (such as stocking up on bamboo MATS before summer), it is not recommended to stock up on seasonal products to avoid not selling them after the season

Choose small-sized and lightweight products: For stockpiling products, it is advisable to select those that are small in size and light in weight, which are convenient for storage and can also reduce the costs of consolidated transportation and local transportation

Step Two: Control the quantity of inventory to reduce financial pressure

1. Beginner's trial

When stocking up for the first time, it is recommended to only stock 5 to 10 pieces of each product to test the market response first. Once they are sold out, replenish the stock to avoid investing too much money at once

2. Adjust according to sales volume

If a certain product can be sold out within 7 to 10 days after stockpiling, the quantity can be appropriately increased next time (up to no more than 20 pieces).

If it is not sold out within 15 days, reduce or stop stockpiling this product in the future

3. Take advantage of manufacturer discounts

Communicate with merchants on the Chinese mainland to see if a small amount of inventory can get wholesale prices to reduce the cost of purchasing goods. However, be sure to check the product quality to avoid getting inferior goods.

Step 3: Store and manage inventory properly to avoid waste

1. Classified storage

Use storage boxes to categorize and store different types of stockpiled products, and attach labels (indicating product names, quantities, and purchase prices) for easy and quick inventory search and verification

2. Pay attention to the shelf life

If you are stocking up on products with expiration dates such as snacks and cosmetics, be sure to mark the expiration dates on the labels. Give priority to selling products that are about to expire to avoid waste due to expiration

3. Regular inventory checks

Take stock of the inventory once a week or every two weeks, verify the actual quantity and sales data, replenish best-selling items in a timely manner, and clear out slow-moving items (slow-moving items can be quickly cleared through promotional activities).
