Wondering about becoming an agent for Deya imported milk. How much does it probably cost?
Solved#Import agent#
I'm very interested in becoming an agent for Deya imported milk and would like to know approximately how much it costs to be an agent. I don't know what criteria the agency fees are charged according to, whether it's divided by region or if there are other considerations. Also, apart from the agency fee, what other necessary expenses will there be? I hope experienced friends or industry insiders can help answer this. Thank you!

There is no fixed standard for the agency fee of Deya imported milk, as it is affected by multiple factors. Firstly, the regional factor. In first - tier cities, due to the large market and fierce competition, the agency cost may be relatively high, around 30,000 - 50,000 yuan; in third - and fourth - tier cities, it may be 10,000 - 30,000 yuan.
Secondly, the agency level. For example, the provincial general agency fee may be higher than that of the municipal or county - level agencies. Moreover, the quantity of goods purchased also matters. The more goods purchased, the more likely there will be discounts on the agency fee.
Besides the agency fee, store rent (depending on the city and location), initial purchase funds (about 50,000 - 100,000 yuan), transportation and warehousing costs, and staff salaries also need to be considered. If through a professional agency platform like Zhongshitong, they may provide some preferential policies and support. The specific costs still need to be discussed in detail with the platform.

I heard that some agents don't need an agency fee and rely on rebates based on the quantity of goods purchased later. You can inquire about this model.

In addition to what was mentioned above, advertising and promotion costs also need to be counted. Some investment is still needed to open up the market in the early stage.

I think it depends on how you negotiate with the supplier. If the negotiation goes well, some costs may be reduced or waived.

The cost of inventory backlogs also needs to be considered. Don't purchase too much goods that can't be sold.

The store decoration cost cannot be ignored either. A good sales environment needs to be created.
