Where can I buy goods for opening a bookstore?

The source of supply for opening a bookstore comes from publishing houses, booksellers, wholesale markets or online platforms. As a small bookstore initially operated, purchasing goods from the market is the most extensive practice, and trading can be reduced through commodity discounts.

When many books are released in the first round, they will be contracted to some booksellers and get a larger quantity. If you keep a good cooperative relationship with powerful booksellers, you can take the lead. What needs special attention is that publishers, booksellers and markets all adopt irreversible models, so we should do what we can and start as little as possible.

Detailed purchase route:

1. Look for booksellers to buy goods on Ali. The sellers on the purchase page are all Ali Cheng Xintong members, all of whom have passed Taobao certification, with high credibility. In addition, transactions are supported here, which is conducive to ensuring payment security. Therefore, if there is no book source around, you can actually consider Ali.

2, publishing house supply, regular publishing houses have sufficient supply and good attitude. If they cooperate for a long time, they can all get cheap prices, but the batch is high and not suitable for small customers. If there is enough reserve and there is no danger and fear of pressing the goods, then go to the publishing house to purchase the goods. It is still easy to find. If it is a small business, don't choose this road.

3, wholesale purchase, this is the most common channel, if your store is operating, then you can go to some large markets around you to purchase, and you should have strong bargaining power in the market to reduce the price to a very low position. At the same time, you should establish a good relationship with each other and make it clear with each other about the exchange of goods to avoid disputes in the future.

4. Find special channels to find booksellers. If you have relatives or friends in Hong Kong or abroad, you can get some special books or some books with lower prices with their help. If you are in places like Zhuhai and Shenzhen, you can even get a pass to go to Hong Kong and Macao to buy goods.
