To do online import food agency, first of all, you must possess corresponding qualifications, such as business licenses, food business licenses, etc. This is the basis of legal operation. Secondly, finding reliable sources of goods is crucial. You can find suppliers through participating in food exhibitions, online B2B platforms such as Alibaba International Station, etc. You should check the qualifications of suppliers, product certifications, etc.
Furthermore, build an online sales platform, such as e-commerce platforms like Taobao, Jingdong, or use self-built shopping malls like WeChat Mini Programs, Youzan, etc.
Finally, it comes to promotion. Use social media platforms such as Douyin, Xiaohongshu to promote products; you can also cooperate with food bloggers to carry out live streaming with goods to increase the exposure and sales volume of products.
