Incoming goods, for a hardware dealer is a university question. The success of a hardware store business has a lot to do with the purchase. Too much stocks, too much inventory, not only backlog of funds, but also losses due to poor sales. If you enter the fake and shoddy hardware products, it will not only cause damage to consumers, but also cause incalculable losses to yourself. On the contrary, if there are too few purchases, it is likely to cause out of stock and lose more profit opportunities. Therefore, the hardware dealers need to master the "eighteen martial arts" of the purchase, clearing the obstacles for the purchase.

First, the principle of purchase

General hardware store purchases are determined by the dealers themselves, most of the time can grasp the amount, but sometimes also fight. Most hardware stores generally purchase more on Wednesday, followed by Monday and Friday again. This is mainly due to the availability of sufficient goods to meet weekend and Sunday transactions. When purchasing goods, you should pay attention to the following principles:

1. According to the law of supply and demand of different commodities. For the balance of supply and demand, the daily supply of hardware products with normal supply, what is suitable for sale, what to buy, fast sales will be diligent, more sales will be more, less sales will be less; for the supply of goods intermittent, supply in short supply, According to the needs of the market, open up the source of purchase, keep abreast of the supply situation, and follow the supply; for the expansion of sales, but the sales volume is not large, the products should be less diverse, under the premise of maintaining the full range and necessary inventory, follow the With sales.

2. According to the characteristics of production and sales of the commodity season. Seasonal production, seasonal sales of hardware industrial products, more in the beginning of the season, less in the season, replenishment at the end of the season; perennial production, seasonal sales of daily industrial products, less in the off-season, more in the peak season.

3. According to the place where the goods are supplied, the local purchases should be less intensive; the foreign purchases should be appropriately increased and properly reserved.

4, according to the market life cycle of goods, new products must pass the test sales, open sales, purchases from less to more.

5. According to the nature of production and sales of commodities, seasonal production, annual sales, and long production cycle. Some agricultural and sideline products that are affected by natural disasters and are unstable in production should seek production bases to ensure stable supply. For bulk products, futures purchase methods can be used to reduce risks, ensure supply, and reduce purchase prices. For commodities with varying colors and varieties, it is necessary to strengthen research and pay close attention to market dynamics.

Second, the source of purchase

Generally, there are three sources of cheap hardware stores: first, direct purchase from the manufacturer; second, purchase from the wholesaler; third; agent or consignment. After the purchase, it is best to establish the manufacturer, the wholesaler data card and the best-selling commodity card, the first two main records of the manufacturer or wholesaler name, address, telephone, supply name, quantity, time, unit price, discount, payment method. In addition to recording the above contents, the consignment sales card must also record the delivery time, checkout time, payment terms, etc.
