Chapter 204 Officially launched

Just less than a month after Ali's father announced that he would go online to the c2c e-commerce shopping website, Tengda issued an announcement across the network.

Taotao.com's business has expanded and officially entered the retail e-commerce field.

Taotao.com's original online ordering model, which was renamed Taotao Mall, from offline entities.

Taotao Mall mainly focuses on offline physical stores' delivery services, which is the o2o model mentioned in the previous life.

The new version of Taotao.com is launched, which conveys welcome to users and also sends invitations to the whole society for cooperation.

Anyone can open a store on Taotao.com to be a boss, but the premise is that fake goods cannot be sold.

Anyone who sells counterfeit goods on Taotao.com, whether big brands or individual small vendors, will directly close the store once they are discovered, and will not be unblocked.

If a consumer buys fake goods, he will pay ten yuan for fake goods, and the cost will be borne by the merchant selling fake goods.

In addition, Taotao.com will also launch a store credibility assessment.

The credibility of the shop is evaluated based on the buyer's praise, and this credibility will be displayed in the most conspicuous position of the store.

All consumers can see this score at first sight when purchasing items.

In this way, users can refer to the store’s score to decide whether to place an order and buy something from this store.

With so many merchants on Taotao.com, many sell the same products, so users will naturally choose high-rated stores to place orders and buy things.

Moreover, this evaluation has a more important role. The higher the points, the more likely the shop is to be recommended by Taotao.com.

Taotao.com has many recommendation pages. Except for big recommendations such as homepage push, pop-up window push, and classified homepage push, other recommendations are free.

Although these recommended locations are free, the traffic is still quite large.

If you can get the display of these recommended positions, the sales of the store will at least quadruple.

These free recommendation positions will refer to the store's evaluation scores, and the higher the score, the more chance you have to get it.

In this way, merchants will attach great importance to the credibility of their stores.

If you dare to sell counterfeit goods, you have to consider whether the user will give you a bad review.

This is the first guarantee. In order to prevent merchants from selling fake goods and selling sub-products, there is a second guarantee.

If you want to join Taotao.com merchants, you must first pay a guarantee fund.

The amount of the security fund is paid is set according to the value of the goods sold in the store. The higher the value of the goods sold, the higher the amount of the security fund paid.

For example, if you sell gold, the security deposit is higher than that of selling daily necessities.

The purpose of this is to ensure that once a merchant sells counterfeit goods, he can use these guarantee funds to compensate the user for his losses.

With these two guarantees, Lu Qingyu believes that merchants should not dare to sell counterfeit goods blatantly.

All the requirements and restrictions on merchants are strictly required.

Although the requirements for merchants are strict, the benefits are more than restrictions and are very large.

First of all, there is the free recommendation system, which can save merchants a lot of money.

Secondly, Taotao.com is completely free to merchants, not only that, but even subsidies.

As long as the seller uses Dongfeng Express to mail the goods, a subsidy of 1 yuan per order is given.

Although 1 yuan is not much, if a store accumulates and calculates, it will at least send thousands of orders a month.

By doing this, you can save 1,000 yuan in one month.

Currently, domestic retail e-commerce websites ebay and eBay are charged. Regardless of whether your products are sold or not, they will be charged as long as they are put on the shelves.

Although this is very profitable, it is too unfriendly to merchants.

Therefore, neither Malaysia nor Lu Qingyu took ebay or eBay seriously.

Because as long as your free mode comes out, these two so-called giants will fall down and will be vulnerable at all.

In the eyes of these two people, the other party is the biggest opponent.

After the launch announcement was released, all Tengda's products were fully promoted for Taotao.com.

The chat software sends pop-up windows to users, Doudizhu adds new tasks to attract traffic, and Yisou.com’s homepage banner promotion...

After such explosive publicity, many netizens learned about this news.

In an instant, the entire network vibrated.

"I'm not right? Taotao.com can not only have big brands to settle in, but also small vendors?"

"Yes, as long as you have a business license, you can join Taotao.com and become a seller. The announcement on the official website said this."

"Small vendors can settle in. I sell towels. According to the official website, I can open a store with just paying a deposit of 500 yuan?"

"It should be so. You can try to apply. There is a detailed application process on the official website."

"That's great. Taotao.com has such a high traffic flow, so there must be many people buying things on it. Let's not talk about it for now. I'll apply for opening a store right away!"

"Haha, I'll try it too. I sell clothes."

For a time, many small brands saw hope and began to apply to join Taotao.com.

Small brands are already surviving in the gaps between big brands, and their business is not very good.

Now, there is a sudden increase in the way of selling goods, and of course they will not miss it.

Taotao.com is owned by Tengda, and Tengda has a large number of websites and software. With the traffic of these websites and software, the traffic will definitely not be bad.

There are not many opportunities like this. If you think about it, others will be ahead.

Many big brands have long agreed to join Taotao.com after Cheng Fangyuan’s communication.

There are also some big brands and luxury brands that cannot put aside their shelves and join Taotao. They are waiting and seeing if Taotao.com can really help them sell goods.

When you go to the right, you are cheering when you see Taotao.com opening merchants entering, especially those cities where Taotao.com did not go online in the early stage.

They finally waited for this day, and finally got more Happy Beans when playing Landlord.

Of course, this is only secondary, and the most important thing is to experience the convenience of online shopping.

"That's great. Taotao.com has finally been online here. My wallet is already impatient, haha."

"It's best that big brands can join Taotao.com so that I can buy the clothes and shoes I want without leaving home."

"If you think too much, it is impossible for big brands to settle in. They sell well offline and will not join in the fun."

"If the price is the same, selling it on Taotao will cost an extra courier and packaging fee. Doing so will undoubtedly increase the cost, and they should not be willing to give up."

"It seems to make sense when this happens, but it doesn't matter. If a big brand doesn't come, there are still small brands, as long as it's cheap."

"I think big brands will definitely settle in. Although the costs are increasing, sales are also increasing. They will not misunderstand the principle of small profits and quick turnover."
