Opening a small supermarket is a common channel for small and medium-sized supermarkets to purchase daily necessities, food, drinks and other fast-moving products by contacting brand agents. Buying through an agent has no requirement on the quantity of a single purchase, which is the most convenient and easy way to purchase goods.

2. Contact the manufacturer directly.

If you want to open a small supermarket to get goods at a lower price, you can choose to contact the commodity manufacturers directly to inform them of their purchasing intentions, and want to cooperate with them for a long time, so that the manufacturers can supply you at the ex-factory price. However, some manufacturers will refuse to supply small purchases to supermarkets, which requires more efforts.

3. Go to the local market for wholesale

The advantage of opening a small supermarket to purchase goods from the local wholesale market or farmer's market is that the variety is complete, you can shop around, the number of purchases is unlimited, and the transportation cost is relatively low. You can also get more favorable prices and on-site services through negotiation.

4. Participate in retail related exhibitions.

Small supermarket operators can order directly at the exhibition through retail-related exhibitions, collect the contact information of manufacturers and agents, and exchange supermarket management experience with their peers. For example, the daily necessities fair, the national sugar and wine fair, the Canton Fair and so on.

5. Buy from online channels

Open a small supermarket. Nowadays, you can find the sources of all kinds of goods online. It is also a good choice to order through regular e-commerce websites or official website with brand names. For example, Alibaba, JD.COM Supermarket, Tmall Supermarket and Amazon.
