Background

The word "kiosk" means "wholesaler" or "wholesale". The practice first appeared in Japan, where business competition was fierce. Many wholesalers made a point of undercutting the prices of their goods in order to squeeze out their rivals. They found that people's daily necessities were the most frequently purchased, and indeed many housewives consumed a great deal of time for this purpose.

So these wholesalers follow the principle of "big in, big out" and "small profit, big sale" to sell daily necessities, such as toothbrushes, towels, mugs and so on, in "dozens" of units. In this way, the average cost of goods can be lowered to 85% or less of the original retail price. Not only do retail buyers find it convenient and affordable, but even secondary and tertiary wholesalers are attracted to it.

This practice of selling by the dozen soon became popular in Japan and quickly spread to Taiwan. The term "mass marketer" also comes from Taiwan, except that the word "mass marketer" was first derived from the Japanese word for wholesale in large quantities in order to fit in with the Chinese word "mass marketer".
