Here are some key features of a flagship store:
Tmall Global provides businesses with access to their overseas warehouses and logistics services, which allows businesses to store their inventory outside of China and fulfill orders directly to Chinese consumers. This can help businesses reduce their logistics costs and simplify their supply chain management.
TOF stores typically have lower requirements for brand reputation and sales volume compared to flagship stores, making it a good option for smaller businesses or new brands that are just entering the Chinese market.
TOF stores have a simplified store setup process compared to flagship stores, as businesses do not need to provide as much customization or branding.
Tmall Global provides customer service support for TOF stores, including handling customer inquiries, returns, and disputes. This ensures that businesses are able to provide a high level of customer support to Chinese consumers.
TOF stores have access to various marketing tools and services, such as targeted advertising, promotions, and influencer campaigns. This helps businesses increase their visibility on the platform and attract more customers.
Sellers can either ship via direct mail or via bonded warehouses, depending on their store type
