The number of Internet sellers and buyers has exploded in recent years. Taobao, China's largest online marketplace, has now expanded its international trade quotas, allowing anyone to set up their own store and attract foreign customers to trade.
Basically, if you want to start international trade on Taobao, you need at least two people. One lives in China and the other (Taobao agent) lives abroad. Their duties vary. The Chinese Taobao shop owner takes the order online, picks up the goods, does a quality check, and then he or she sends the package (via China Post, EMS or any other delivery service) to the Taobao agent who lives in the customer's country. This person communicates directly with local customers and sells the Taobao goods.
It is not easy to communicate between Taobao shop owners and Taobao agents. Part of the reason is due to the time difference between different countries. For example, the time difference between China and Russia is 3 hours, China and Ukraine is 5 hours, and the time difference between China and the United States or Canada is even up to 12 hours. Of course, the two parties in different countries can communicate with each other using emails, but they are often not always online at the same time. In this case, you have to make an emergency call to the shop owner in China, otherwise you may lose customers. Many times, you have some small but important problems that need to be solved. What must you do?
The smartest way to reduce the cost of international long distance calls is to call in the country where your customers are located (e.g. USA, Canada, Australia, Russia, Ukraine, Germany, UK, etc.) Buy a virtual phone number , and forward the calls to China. Therefore, the calling charges for customers will be cheap, and they will call your phone number without any delay. This will give your Taobao store a great competitive advantage!
Here are some other advantages of a virtual phone number for Taobao store owners:
- When the store owner receives an incoming call on his mobile phone, the virtual local phone number allows him to connect the call at any time and from any place.
- You will not miss any calls, so you will not lose any stray customers.
- They save time for Taobao buyers and sellers and can solve some important problems immediately
- Reduce international phone bills for both buyers and sellers
- It even makes it cheap and convenient for you to open offices in other countries.
- You don't need to rent an office or buy other office equipment in another country.
- This will greatly enhance your company image (good reputation) in front of most of the big clients with high demands.
There are even more benefits! A virtual phone number can change the usual scenario of international Internet trade using Taobao. From now on, if you live in China, you can open your own Taobao store and conduct international trade with any country you want to trade with. You don't need to have an agent or any partners abroad. You just need to set up a local phone number or a toll-free number for your foreign customers and receive all the calls in China. The best part about a virtual phone number is that it looks exactly the same as a local phone number and when someone calls you, the caller won't hear a single difference.
Therefore, it is very easy and cheap to have your virtual office in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, Austria, Germany, France, Belgium, Netherlands, Italy, Spain, Ukraine, Poland, Russia, Kazakhstan, Sweden, Ireland, Denmark, as well as in Japan, Hong Kong, Nigeria, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore and China.
