Can I do community group buying on my own?
I don't know whether the friend who asked the question is going to do it as a side business or as a main business?
Here I share my small experience of two years as head of community group buying
Collections during the epidemic
Background
Third-tier small counties, no physical stores, the second floor of the residential building inside the neighborhood, have their own main business, community group buying is as a side business to do.
The basic situation of our community: the community is relatively small, two units of five buildings, the community entrance to the county's supermarket chain, 600 meters or so there is a food market.
What are the platforms I have contact with? How about quality and after-sales service? How do I apply for admission?
The platforms that I've worked with are Xingsheng Youchuan, DuoDuoBuying, Tao Cai Cai Zhu, Orange Heart Youchuan (the one in the region closed last year and is no longer in operation), and DumDumDonkey (the one in Xi'an ran out of business), and only the first three are left at the moment.
Quality of the products? Amoy Vegetable>Shing Sheng>DuoDuo
Commission: Xing Sheng is more stable about 10%, there is no head pulling activities; Amoy Vegetable is now basically about 5%, there are head pulling activities; DuoDuo commission is particularly low, focusing on the activities of head pulling.
The degree of professionalism, Xingsheng preferred the best, every day there is a fixed driver, shortage of goods less goods driver can basically give a reply, after-sales only Xingsheng is a manual reply, dealing with after-sales more flexible.
How to apply for the head? Later you will find that no matter how many platforms you open shopping is always those people who do not like to shop on the platform, you open more he still will not buy. 2, platforms open too much you will find that you spend the day in the non-stop right goods and pick up, but the overall money earned is not much more.
Preparation
1, collapsible trolley, easy to pick up (I have no stores on this side of the pickup point, the driver is basically sent to the door of the neighborhood need to pull themselves in)
2, the goods are more than can be prepared for a small shelf.
Basic Process
After the arrival of the goods, divided into good goods bag after the customer in front of the door of the shelves to pick up (my home a staircase on the two households, the door is equipped with a camera, so I put the goods in the door on the shelves, if there is no such condition may need to contact the customer in time to pick up the goods, there are also centralized time delivery of the head, this is according to their own actual situation to deal with, the driver is basically to the neighborhood entrance needs to pull in. (This should be dealt with according to their own actual situation)?
How to operate share a few points of my experience for reference only
1, first of all, to establish their own WeChat group, because I do when we are unfamiliar with this community group buying, in the neighborhood square has done two days of ground pushing.
2, after the establishment of the group, not too much trouble if you can set up a points system, shopping to send points, to reach a certain number of points can be sent to some small things, to increase customer stickiness. I probably adhere to the points system for more than 1 year, we have developed a shopping habit, I switched to an occasional free activities, cancel the shopping points.
WeChat group activities
3, single-free activities I pull out here alone to say, this activity is mainly for some platforms have pulled the head of the incentives, we can according to the platform's incentives, pick out some of the vegetables and what regularly give group of friends to do the rebate, so that you can earn a part of the incentives can be given to the customers who often buy some of the benefits
What I have said above are For sisters who are not afraid of trouble, too much trouble can be bypassed
Lastly on the earnings, due to the limitations of the size of the district, the daily turnover plus a variety of incentives to earnings in the basic 100 yuan, as 0 cost of side business I think it's not bad.
