If you use Ali International Station, what kind of Chinese products will you choose to sell to your country? Why?
The Ali international station is a Chinese online e-commerce platform that sells all kinds of products all over the world. It is the Chinese equivalent to Amazon. I would like to choose products mainly in mobile, electronic accessories, fake jewelry, cheaper cosmetics, cheap clothes. Nail art products niche etc.
Mobile and elctronic accesoories niche:
Fake jewelry and cosmetics niche:
The main reason for choosing these products is the extremely cheaper price and vast availability of all king of designs and forms because china has the largest manufacturer and have the biggest supply china and labor force.
That is why the price of the products is comparatively cheap. However, Chinese products have image of being low quality and fake. But nowadays the quality of the Chinese product has improved significantly and most of the top electronic manufacturing companies are dependent upon china for manufacturing their products and they are only assembling and reselling these products with their brand tags.
Therefore, Chinese products especially electronics, cheap jewelry, cheap cosmetics, and clothing have huge scope in the US market.
If I would open a store in the Chinese online e-commerce platform - Alibaba then I would try to sell the above-given products in a different niche because there is a huge consumer following for cheap products. Most of the buyers are those consumers who want to buy cheaper alternatives for expensive branded products.
