To be an agent for imported ice creams, first of all, you should do a good job in market research, understand the local consumption demand for imported ice creams, the market saturation degree, and the situation of competing products, etc. Secondly, look for reliable suppliers. Suppliers like Zhongshitong, which have rich experience and high-quality sources of goods, can ensure the product quality and the stability of supply. Then, handle the relevant qualifications, such as the food business license, etc. Also, plan the warehousing and logistics well. Imported ice creams need to be stored at low temperatures, and there should be appropriate cold chain equipment. Meanwhile, formulate marketing strategies. You can combine online and offline methods, such as cooperating with supermarkets, dessert shops, and using social media for promotion, etc. Finally, focus on customer service, handle customer feedback in a timely manner, improve customer satisfaction, and lay the foundation for long-term business operations.

Selecting products is very crucial. Ice creams from different countries have different flavors and characteristics. You should choose the ones that suit the local people's tastes. For example, Italian gelato is quite popular.

Pay attention to the product shelf life. Because the import transportation time is long, you should arrange the purchase quantity reasonably to avoid overstocking and expiration.
