There is no fixed standard for the agency fee of imported trendy products, and it will be affected by various factors. Firstly, for the agency region, due to the large market and fierce competition in first-tier cities, the agency fee may range from 200,000 - 500,000 yuan; in third - and fourth-tier cities, it is relatively lower, about 50,000 - 150,000 yuan. Secondly, for the agency level, for example, the exclusive agency fee is higher, and the ordinary regional agency fee will be lower. Moreover, different trendy product categories also have differences. The agency fees for popular and high - end trendy products are high. For Zhongshitong, for the basic regional agency of imported trendy products, the agency fee may be 50,000 - 100,000 yuan. You also need to prepare 100,000 - 200,000 yuan for the first - batch purchase funds, as well as operating costs such as store rent and decoration. You should comprehensively consider your own financial strength and market conditions to judge the appropriate investment.

I think it depends on the brand influence. For imported trendy products with high popularity, the agency fee is definitely not cheap, probably 150,000 - 300,000 yuan. If it's a more niche brand, maybe 50,000 - 100,000 yuan will do.

If it's an online agency for imported trendy products without the cost of a physical store, the agency fee may be relatively low, about 30,000 - 80,000 yuan, but there may be requirements for sales volume.

I heard that some agencies for imported trendy products do not charge agency fees but require a certain amount of deposit, which will be refunded after completing the tasks later. The deposit is probably 50,000 - 100,000 yuan.

The agency fee is also related to the purchase discount. For some brands, the agency fee is high, but the purchase discount is low, which is also cost - effective in the long run. The agency fee may be 100,000 - 200,000 yuan.

Agency for imported trendy products in a small county has a lower cost. The agency fee is 30,000 - 60,000 yuan. Mainly because the market is not that large, the investment cannot be too high.

If you act as an agent for a combination of multiple imported trendy products, the agency fee will be higher than that for a single category, probably 100,000 - 250,000 yuan. After all, with a rich product range, the management cost is also high.

Some imported trendy product brands that have newly entered the market will offer preferential agency fees to expand the market, probably 20,000 - 80,000 yuan. It's also a good opportunity to seize.
