When acting as an agent for imported luxury goods, the brand awareness should be understood first. It's difficult to open up the market for too unpopular products. Even if the quality is good, it won't work if consumers have a low awareness of it. At the same time, logistics and transportation should also be emphasized. Otherwise, product damage or long transportation time will affect sales.

After - sales service is crucial for acting as an agent for imported luxury goods. The after - sales response of foreign brand owners may not be so timely, and you need to have your own coping plan. Otherwise, if customer complaints are not handled well, the reputation will be ruined.

Good control of cash flow is necessary. The purchase price of imported luxury goods is generally not low, and the inventory cost also needs to be considered. If the capital chain breaks, the business will be difficult to continue.

Attention should be paid to policies and regulations. The various certifications, inspection and quarantine requirements for imported products must be clearly understood. Otherwise, if problems are found only when the goods arrive at the port, it will be very troublesome.
