I wonder how these people make money...its like....a 2-way air ticket is not eactly cheap...not to mention accomodation...then they have to buy enough goods to bring back to sg....to cover back the costs of going there...rental of the bugis shop/domain name for online...and also for profit...not to mention that not 100% of what they buy back actually gets sold....so pretty heavy initial investment there?Originally posted by FireIce:i know of ppl who do online shopping sites

and establish rship with the warehouse/vendors there (so in future they can just liaise via internet and fone)
online shops no need much money to set up
u can ride on yahoo or other shopping portals with low subscription
the stuff there is REAL CHEAP!
one blouse cost about S$2 only and they can sell at S$20
ROI very fast one
and if u can build a pool of loyal customers or regulars, there will be recurring business....
some have online store as well as a physical store (but both sell different stuff)
however, it is very competitive and u might be getting the same goods as other online stores.....so u have to provide an edge over the others.....
some run loyalty points program, some offer free delivery, some have warehouse sale here to clear stocks, some even go to the extend of arranging to meet up, try clothes, u happy then u buy kind of service...
they spam e-newsletters to their customers on new arrivals, stock clearance, freebies, promos.... -
local stores mainly go by internet fund transfer and paypal....Originally posted by Xcert:I not expert but I think U need to think about how people are going to pay U.

I am thinking more in terms of those shops at Bugis there...they bring in things from japan....there is shop there selling hello kitty stuff...hello kitty things are not known to be cheap somemore from Japan...if 1 trip buy a lot a lot...then initial investment would be also a lot a lot...then higher risk...worth taking the risk meh?Originally posted by FireIce:one trip buy a lot a lot

or is the moral of the story not to import from Japan but from "cheaper" countries like China,Korea?
How fast ROI depends on what U selling mah...niche product would be more difficult to sell but U should be more enjoyable doing it because that's what U chose....more general stuff like bags,shoes,clothes,accessories can sell off quite fast but it might not be ur interest dealing in those...
yup...online shops are springing up all over the place and people do have to think of ways to keep themselves afloat the competition... -
depends on the business models and objectives
some are just catering to the masses demands.....cheap trendy clothes and accessories...
some like to bring in more exotic n unique stuff....
shoppers oso got 2 kinds
the ones like me that shop online becos we simply have no time to shop physically or just like the thrill of shopping online...
and the ones that have to feel and try before buying....
so it's different markets and target groups
when things does not sell, there is always sales and promotions that you can run to attract ppl to buy.....u may not earn much but at least you don't lose much....cover the cost oso good lah.... -
no such thing as from japan lah , maybe for commes des garcon
but for clothing mainly below $20 , it is japanese styled but made in china
