Why is Alibaba more expensive than Pinduoduo?

| 5Person Answer

1、薄利多销

薄利多销可以说是大多数拼多多卖家都会用到的一个方式了。可能每一单只赚1块钱,以极低的价格获得大量的订单,从而获得收益,这样宝贝价格就会被压的特别低。

这可能就有人会问了,即使他是薄利多销,那他的宝贝价格也应该高于批发商的同款价格啊,为什么会更低呢?

这里就需要谈到2个压低成本的方式了:

第一,当你手上握有大量的订单那你就有了和供应商谈判的资本,尽可能的压低进货的成本,

第二,同样的,你手上握有大量的订单,那你就有了和快递公司谈判的资本,可以尽可能的压低快递运输成本。

不过大家也没必要羡慕,这些商家之所以能成功很可能意味着刚开始的几百甚至几千单都是亏本销售的,等到商品权重起来以后才能开始赚钱。

2、关联销售

也有的商家是通过这些低价的商品来吸引消费者点击,然后在宝贝里引导推荐消费者购买更贵的SKU或者其他的关联产品。也就是说,低价的商品就是为了引流而存在的,如果你进来只购买了这个商品,那我可能就只亏一两块钱,而一旦你购买了更高规格的宝贝或者关联产品,那么这一单我可能就能赚几十块!

所以说在利用关联销售之前,我们最好小范围测试一下,估算出进来的用户中大概有多少人会购买关联商品,这样才能判断如果你最终会不会亏本以及平均1单到底能赚多少钱。

3、工厂尾货

工厂尾货通常指的是过季、断码甚至是残次的产品,但不是假冒伪劣产品、洋垃圾和旧货。因为是尾货,所以工厂基本上都是会便宜处理掉,很多卖家就会去工厂以极低的价格收购,然后再放到店铺上售卖。

这类商品最突出的特点就是少,一般最多就几十几百件就卖完了,很少会有几千件库存。至于残次品就更有特点了,举个例子:去年我妈贪小便宜在拼多多上60元给我买了两套保暖内衣,是的没错,60元2套!衣服材质质量啥的其实还行,但那做工...穿上去第三天就开始散线,每天至少能发现半米的线头跑出来,两个礼拜就报废了。

所以大家如果有工厂资源的话,工厂尾货就是一个很好的囤货方式,但不要进残次品,做生意还是以诚信为主。

所以说,其实大多数情况下一分钱一分货的理念是不会错的,商家不是做公益的,而是逐利的,价格低可能就意味着质量差,或者会从其他的地方赚回来。价格低虽然有一定的市场,但不会是所有人都认同这样的理念,而1688的供应商都是经过阿里巴巴检验过的,不会去卖残次品,价格比拼多多的某些商品高是很正常的,在这个基础上想要拉低成本,那就需要你有一定的经济头脑了。

最后送大家一句话:羊毛不一定出在羊身上,也有可能出在猪身上。

1. Small profits but quick turnover

Small profits but quick turnover can be said to be a method used by most Pinduoduo sellers. Maybe you only make 1 yuan per order, and get a large number of orders at a very low price to make a profit, so that the price of the product will be very low.

Some people may ask, even if he is small profits but quick turnover, his product price should be higher than the price of the same model of the wholesaler, why is it lower?

Here we need to talk about 2 ways to lower costs:

First, when you have a large number of orders in your hand, you have the capital to negotiate with suppliers and lower the cost of purchase as much as possible.

Second, similarly, if you have a large number of orders in your hand, you have the capital to negotiate with express companies and lower the cost of express transportation as much as possible.

However, there is no need to envy them. The reason why these merchants can succeed may mean that the first few hundred or even thousands of orders are sold at a loss, and they can only start to make money after the weight of the goods rises.

2. Related sales

Some merchants use these low-priced products to attract consumers to click, and then guide and recommend consumers to buy more expensive SKUs or other related products in the product. In other words, low-priced products exist for the purpose of attracting traffic. If you only buy this product when you come in, I may only lose one or two yuan, but once you buy a higher-specification product or related product, I may make dozens of yuan on this order!

So before using related sales, it is best to test it on a small scale to estimate how many of the users who come in will buy related products, so that we can judge whether you will eventually lose money and how much money you can make on average per order.

3. Factory tail goods

Factory tail goods usually refer to out-of-season, out-of-stock or even defective products, but not counterfeit and shoddy products, foreign garbage and old goods. Because it is tail goods, the factory will basically dispose of it cheaply, and many sellers will go to the factory to purchase it at a very low price, and then sell it in the store.

The most prominent feature of this type of goods is that they are few in number. Generally, only a few dozen or a few hundred pieces are sold out, and there are rarely thousands of pieces in stock. As for defective products, they are even more distinctive. For example, last year my mother bought me two sets of thermal underwear for 60 yuan on Pinduoduo. Yes, that's right, 60 yuan for 2 sets! The material quality of the clothes is actually okay, but the workmanship... The threads began to fall apart on the third day after wearing them. At least half a meter of thread ends can be found running out every day, and they were scrapped in two weeks.

So if you have factory resources, factory tail goods are a good way to stock up, but don't buy defective products. Doing business is still based on integrity.

So, in fact, in most cases, the concept of "you get what you pay for" is not wrong. Merchants are not doing charity, but profit-seeking. Low prices may mean poor quality, or they will make it back from other places. Although low prices have a certain market, not everyone agrees with this concept. The suppliers of 1688 have all been inspected by Alibaba and will not sell defective products. It is normal that the prices are higher than some of Pinduoduo's products. If you want to lower the cost on this basis, you need to have a certain economic mind.

Finally, I would like to say something to everyone: wool may not come from sheep, but also from pigs.

Taobao has industry certification, and the items on it can be guaranteed to be genuine. However, Pinduoduo cannot guarantee this, because there are many counterfeit merchants on Pinduoduo, and the quality of some shops’ goods cannot be guaranteed, so the prices of Pinduoduo’s goods are generally low.

Because Alibaba’s goods are all genuine, and there are many self-operated stores, while Pinduoduo allows anyone and any merchant to enter, and the threshold is low, so it is difficult to guarantee that the product quality is genuine. In addition, Pinduoduo has great discounts!

Because Alibaba is all wholesaled by manufacturers, the price of a single piece or a small amount is definitely more expensive than Pinduoduo. If you are buying wholesale in bulk, Alibaba’s price is definitely more affordable than Pinduoduo

Because Alibaba’s main focus is wholesale, the more wholesale, the cheaper it is, and the price of goods is stepped. Moreover, Alibaba’s goods have shipping costs. Once the shipping costs are added, the total amount will naturally be high.
