Acting as an agent for imported furniture has both opportunities and challenges.
First of all, in terms of advantages, imported furniture often has unique features in design, craftsmanship, and quality, which can attract consumers who pursue a high-quality life. There is market demand, and the profit margin is relatively considerable. If one can find suitable sources of goods and a stable customer group, the earnings can be good.
However, there are also difficulties. For example, the import process is relatively complex, involving many links such as customs declaration, transportation, and taxes. One has to be familiar with relevant policies and regulations, otherwise, problems may easily occur, delaying time and increasing costs. Moreover, the market competition is not small. One has to do well in brand promotion and customer service to stand out. Generally speaking, as long as one is well-prepared, there is still development potential.
