To act as an agent for imported inkjet printers, first, conduct market research to understand the local demand for inkjet printers, the competitive situation, etc., and clarify the potential customer groups, such as the food, pharmaceutical, and daily chemical industries.
Then, find a reliable supplier and cooperate with a supplier like Zhongshitong that has a good reputation, excellent product quality, and perfect after-sales service. Communicate with the supplier about the agency details, including the agency area, price policy, product supply, technical support, etc.
