"The online store has a great impact on us, and our price can not be compared with them. The wholesale price here is more than twice the retail price of the online store, and our cost is higher than that of the online store, so we can not compete with the online store."

Old market operators tell.

Advantages of online stores

Hang Kong reporter to the four seasons constellation, here is still on vacation, and is not open for business.

However, a woman who opened the shop here told Hangzhou Network reporter: "the advantages of the online store are low cost, the customers are relatively wide, and the business forms are flexible, not only wholesale, but also retail.

As long as customers can look after the style and price, we can deliver goods by express, saving time, effort and worry.

At present, through the online shop to wholesale customers are also increasing. "

Disadvantages of online shops

There are also customer responses: "there are many disadvantages in ordering online. They used to have a lot of goods in the shop. When they arrived, they found that they were very different from the ones they saw online. But the pictures on the Internet were very good, but they could not feel the quality of the fabrics. Once the goods arrived, the fabric felt bad and there was no way. After all, the styles and styles of the goods were right. Although the fabrics were made of cotton, there were many different kinds of cotton. In the market, the site looked at itself, and felt it, so after ordering several times on the Internet, it still felt that the wholesale market had a bottom."

Over the past few years, online businesses are getting more and more popular, but complaints are also increasing. Most complaints are goods and goods received. There is a great discrepancy in quality.

Good looks do not mean quality passes.

Two the variety is diversified, and the variety of the shop that we run should be diversified, and satisfy the requirements of all levels as much as possible.

Three the business is flexible, and the business nature of the customers is flexible. Especially the wholesale customers are mostly old customers all over the country, and repeat customers, old customers are introducing new customers, so that the online store will continue to develop healthfully.

If the operators of open shop have a good idea, the operation mode of online shop will cause great pressure and impact on the traditional market.
