Many big sellers join the game! This model is popular across borders

The hosting model is popular across borders, and sellers are facing "sweet sorrow"!

In the cross-border circle, Temu is a controversial platform. Despite many doubts and confusions, a large number of merchants have settled in Temu, including Anker Innovations, Savi, Yibai Networks, Youkeshu and other well-known cross-border sellers.

With the rise of the semi-hosting model, the cross-border e-commerce industry is reshaping rapidly. More and more cross-border sellers are following the development trend and entering Temu semi-hosting, resulting in a significant increase in sales. Public data shows that in just about two months, Savi's revenue on the Temu platform reached 60.6285 million yuan.

However, with explosive orders and hidden dangers, sellers are also facing various risks and pressures while enjoying the benefits of semi-trusteeship.

Reducing costs and increasing profits has become an important issue facing them.

Many big sellers settled in Temu! Saiwei achieved over 60 million in revenue

If 2023 is the first year of full hosting, 2024 is the "year of semi-hosting". Many cross-border e-commerce platforms have launched semi-hosting models, and Temu is no exception. Since its launch in March this year, Temu's semi-hosting business has been launched in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Italy, Germany, Spain, France, Australia, New Zealand, the Czech Republic and Poland.

Unlike the "all-inclusive" model of full trusteeship , Temu's semi-trusteeship gives merchants the autonomy to fulfill their contracts, ship goods, and return and exchange goods, while the platform assists merchants in advertising, customer service, sales, etc. This model is particularly suitable for merchants who have inventory overseas, can ship goods overseas, or have their own warehouses, as well as merchants who cooperate with overseas warehouses.

Temu currently attaches great importance to the semi-hosting model and will give some high-quality displays to semi-hosting, such as only displaying semi-hosting on the front-end homepage and special modules . According to news in July, 20% of Temu's sales in the United States came from local warehouses in the United States, not China. In other words, in just about 3 months, Temu's semi-hosting has played a huge role.

It is undeniable that Temu semi-hosting provides a better solution for sellers to deploy on multiple platforms. Sellers on platforms such as Amazon and eBay who already have inventory overseas do not need to have too many dedicated personnel to operate new stores. With the help of Temu semi-hosting, they can obtain an incremental sales channel .

According to the news, many well-known Amazon sellers such as Anker and Savi have already settled in Temu semi-hosting, and traditional giants such as Midea, Xiaomi, Liby, and Vinda have also announced cooperation with Temu.

The rise of semi-hosting has created countless business opportunities. It is understood that the first wave of sellers who tried semi-hosting could even achieve a single-day sales of over $100,000 .

Some cross-border veterans with multi-platform operation experience have taken advantage of their overseas local fulfillment advantages and Temu's preference for semi-hosted traffic , and their products can quickly gain volume. Among them, the big seller Savi actively connected to semi-hosted services and took advantage of its supply chain. In about two months, its sales have reached 60.6285 million yuan . If nothing unexpected happens, its sales will likely exceed 100 million yuan by the end of the year.

In addition, Temu can also meet the inventory clearance needs of cross-border sellers. "The traffic of semi-hosted services is really huge, and the inventory clearance effect is unexpectedly good!" Amazon seller Xiao Zhang has a lot of unsalable inventory overseas. After opening a semi-hosted store, the excess inventory was sold out, and even several small hits appeared in the inventory clearance process.

Exploding orders and fines go hand in hand! Sellers: Profits are falling all the way

On one hand, a large number of sellers are placing orders on the Temu platform, and on the other hand, a large number of consumers are placing orders on this platform. Data shows that Temu remains the number one in downloads in most markets, with more than 200 million downloads in the United States, accounting for nearly one-third of its total global downloads.

Low price is Temu's absolute advantage, so low-income people can't resist the temptation of Temu. At present, not only the well-known dollar stores in the United States have "fallen from the altar", but also a large number of consumers have flowed to Temu. Even the low-price customer groups on the Amazon platform have been snatched away by Temu. A data shows that compared with Amazon, millions of American consumers regard Temu as a more affordable alternative.

Consumers' shopping enthusiasm continues to feed back Temu's overseas "surge", further boosting sellers' orders, and new players continue to enter the platform. However, during the operation, Temu sellers are bearing various risks and pressures.

Fines and price cuts are topics that Temu cannot avoid. Under the semi-hosting model, the platform is highly sensitive to the seller's delivery timeliness. Under the strict timeliness policy, many sellers have been fined for timeliness issues, and have been fined more than once. As a result, the seller's cost expenditure has increased significantly, and the profit has shrunk significantly. Some sellers who have not fully understood the platform's policies have said that they are almost unable to continue their business due to fines.

While the semi-custodial model makes money, it also has many hidden worries, and sellers are constantly complaining. The reputation of the Temu platform is controversial, so why do sellers continue to do it? After weighing the pros and cons, Xiao Zhang and many other sellers are still reluctant to let go. "The semi-custodial model is still a cross-border outlet, giving practitioners a relatively good choice at the moment. One more channel means one more channel to make money, or a channel to clear inventory..."

Reduce costs and increase profits! Sellers need to be careful in every aspect of operation

The cross-border hosting model is irreversible. Faced with the difficult problem of declining profits, Temu sellers have to launch a battle to defend their profits. Careful calculations in every aspect of operations and reducing costs and increasing profits have become top priorities.
