The area around the Year of the Tiger was robbed wildly.
The Chinese New Year is coming, many sellers have smelled the smell of explosive orders, and launched the peripheral products of the Year of the Tiger in China, which are loved by many overseas consumers, and even some products have appeared "sold out" phenomenon.
Product "sold out"! The surrounding areas of the Year of the Tiger are popular overseas
Recently, some sellers posted a video advertisement with "Amazon US sells red envelopes, hanging ornaments, and jewelry for the Year of the Tiger on a social platform, and you can contact them if necessary".
At the bottom of the review, when a buyer asked how to buy, some consumers replied that they had sold out and the products were sold out. When xiaobian searched the seller's Amazon store to view, it found that some products had indeed been sold out.
The year of the tiger peripheral products are loved by overseas consumers for a reason. According to the data, there are currently more than 5.3 million Chinese living in the United States, and their annual consumption has exceeded $300 billion, which is a large consumer market that sellers can focus on.
With the approaching of the Year of the Tiger in China, the peripheral products of the Year of the Tiger, such as red envelopes printed with tiger patterns, tiger pendants, tiger dolls, tiger mobile phone cases, etc., have been quietly listed by sellers on cross-border e-commerce platforms such as Amazon and AliExpress.
Not only that, but even the couplet window flowers, which are the most flavorful of the New Year and inevitable in the New Year, are also loved by overseas consumers, and the sales of sellers are also very impressive. "I originally had the mentality of trying it out, but I didn't expect the result to be unexpectedly good." A seller said.
Regarding the evaluation of these peripheral products in the Year of the Tiger, the response given by consumers is also very enthusiastic, "These dolls are too cute", "I didn't expect the pendants of the little tiger to match such an effect", "Let me also experience The Chinese red envelopes and make a fortune together"... It is worth mentioning that consumers do not give these products a low rating.
On the hot social platform in the United States, the relevant videos of the Chinese Year of the Tiger elements have been "played badly" by Americans. Earlier, some brands launched tiger masks and tiger eyeshadow discs that captured the hearts of consumers, and now beauty bloggers have begun to play tiger imitation makeup, and have also received a wave of attention. In addition, there are mobile phone cases with tiger motifs and tiger-like foods that have also been "shown".
According to social platform data, the cumulative number of views of videos with the "#yearofthetiger" label has exceeded 27 million, which is enough to see the charm brought by traditional Chinese culture.
It has to be said that the ability of overseas consumers to "chop hands" should not be underestimated, every time to the Chinese traditional holidays, Chinese sellers on the shelves with traditional Chinese elements of the products will be photographed by consumers, and even there will be a situation of selling out.
However, often behind the popularity of products, infringement also occurs from time to time, for sellers, whether it is selling the Year of the Tiger or other products, they need to do a good job of investigation, cautious and careful. In addition, when some products are in short supply, there may also be price gouging and other phenomena, and sellers also need to pay attention to compliance operations.
Prices soared 18 times, and Amazon sellers were blocked for price gouging
The spread of the epidemic abroad continues, and the epidemic situation in Australia is not optimistic. In Australia, women's hygiene products are in short supply, of which tampons have been snapped up by local consumers due to the shortage of quantities, and some Amazon sellers have also taken the opportunity to sell, and the price of some tampons has increased by 18 times compared with before...
According to foreign media reports, the shortage of goods in Australia is caused by supply chain problems, many local supermarket shelves are empty, some Amazon sellers take the opportunity to sell tampons urgently needed by local consumers at high prices, and the price of a box of tampons has been coaxed up dozens of times.
An Amazon seller sells an 18-bar/box tampon for $6.38 each for $114, while the local supermarket sells tampons for more than 30 cents, an increase of about 1,800 percent.
However, there is more than one seller who took the opportunity to sell at a high price, and on Amazon, there is another seller who sells a box of 18 tampons for $83.7, each price of about $5.23, which is also far more than the price sold in the supermarket.
According to foreign media, after contacting Amazon, the two sellers have "disappeared" on the platform.
An Amazon spokesperson said that Amazon is actively monitoring and removing products that violate platform policies, and sellers have the right to set the price of products in the store, but Amazon's policy will ensure that the pricing of sellers' products is fairly competitive.
The price of a box of tampons has risen 18-fold, and the incident also reflects a series of impacts from the pandemic and the damage to supply chains, with supermarkets across much of Australia hit by product shortages. In order to cope with this situation, many local supermarkets have made purchase restrictions on some products (such as meat, vegetables, fruits, etc.).
For this situation, some insiders expect that the supply chain problem will remain for at least one month.
Affected by the Omiljung strain, there has been a surge in confirmed cases in Australia, resulting in a serious shortage of local labor. Recently, the Australian Transport Workers Union said that about half of the local truck drivers have been quarantined, and there is a serious shortage of truck drivers.
The secretary-general of Australia's National Transport Workers' Union said truck drivers would send tests to supermarkets or pharmacies to sell, but once they were on shelves, they would be sold out, so many people, including themselves, still could not buy them.
At the same time, the efficiency of container transport has been significantly delayed due to a shortage of staff responsible for container handling and handling at terminals across Australia. The increase in the number of local confirmed cases has not only led to a decline in the efficiency of the terminal, but also added resistance to the recovery of the normalization of the port.
In this regard, some insiders said that in the case of local supermarkets out of stock, many people will still choose to continue online shopping, and many sellers have also shipped in advance, when a large number of goods are delivered to the port but can not be processed in time, there may be a new round of congestion, the problem of the port will be more severe.
As far as the current situation is concerned, the foreign epidemic situation is once again menacing, resulting in logistics problems such as port closure and delays being aggravated, and sellers need to communicate with consumers in advance and track express delivery, so as to avoid lower evaluation of products and affect product sales. In addition, logistics costs are still high, and sellers who want to prepare and ship goods in advance need to choose carefully and ship reasonably.
