Do Not Import Products Into Nigeria Until You Use These Tactics To Be 100% Sure The Products Will Sell.
The fear of failure is the greatest threat facing many people who are nursing the idea of going into the importation business in Nigeria today.
Don’t blame them, and I don’t blame them either. They must have seen someone close to them that took the bull by the horns, imported some goods from either China or elsewhere; and did not make a success of the venture.
They will conclude that there is no way to succeed in that importation business. It can be mini-importation or the standard importation; if you do not take time, you can face problems.
But in this article, we will unmask that fear and show you what you can do to know beforehand whether the product you want to import will sell or not before importing them.
How will you feel to know that you have already received orders for products that you have not even imported but only told people of your intention to import them. I know that you will feel good and super confident to go ahead with the business.
That is a business model that we are going to deal with in this article; open up your mind and come along with me.
The First Step Is Pre-Order
Let me tell you, pre-orders have been used for ages, but it has not been so pronounced as the way it is being used by importers today. It is being used by online businesses today to their great advantage.
I can vividly remember the way importation business was being conducted in those good old days; you the importer will see a picture of a product in a brochure or a product magazine and immediately contact the company.
The company will reply you by sending a sample of the product for you to go around with showing to potential buyers; the result of this action people will tell you whether the market will accept the product or not.
If the product is acceptable to the market the way it is, they will tell you, if they want some amendments to be made they will let you know; you will then communicate back to the would be manufacturer or supplier.
Some merchants who want to take advantage of being the first to see the product can even pay you in advance. You already know when the product will arrive; you can see how you have financed the product purchase with other people’s money.
How does it sound to your ears? Does it not sound great? Yes, it does. It was happening in those days of brick and mortar business.
Today, this model is still relevant more than ever before. Some foreign companies sometimes send samples, some may say that you have to buy the samples; but it is better than putting in all your capital without knowing whether the products will be bought by the public.
The Simple Method
What you need to do is simple; post a product image along with a description of the product on your website or your social media platforms like, facebook, Instagram, twitter, pinterest, etc.
Within a short period of time you will start receiving reactions from the public on the product. You may even start receiving orders from the public, and the funds may be used to fund the launch of the product.
For you to succeed in the business of importation, whether mini or standard importation in Nigeria, you need to adopt intelligent strategies; this is one of them.
This method is known as pre-order
It is an order placed for an item that has not been released or that is not currently in stock. You can see that this is how to get the public to know about the product you have not even brought into the market, but you want to test its viability.
You place the product in your online store, and the people will assess it and start making comments and placing orders; as soon as the product is ready, you supply to them.
This method works very well, I have been using it on almost all my mini-importation projects, and I have never regretted it. Go for it and see the huge benefits in it.
Stay with us for more on this.
