I think it's not easy to do. There are too many imported skin care product brands in the market now. Consumers are dazzled by the choices, and it's difficult for new agents to stand out. Moreover, many big brands have their own official channels, leaving little space for agents.

You also need to focus on product promotion. Now that social media is developed, making good use of these platforms for promotion can attract many customers. But the promotion should be real, otherwise it will be counterproductive.

It seems that the initial investment for being an agent is not small, such as the first batch of purchases, shop rent, etc. If the funds are not sufficient, there will be pressure in the subsequent operation. You need to plan the funds in advance.

You should pay attention to the changes in exchange rates, which have a great impact on costs. Exchange rate fluctuations may lead to an increase in the purchase cost and a compression of the profit margin. You need to have countermeasures.
