7月27日消息,當(dāng)歐美市場漸成紅海,拉美等新興市場或成了跨境電商賣家的新機(jī)遇。而在此時(shí),不僅是速賣通等國內(nèi)跨境電商出口平臺想爭奪此先機(jī),連拉美本土的電商平臺也相繼入華招商,來爭奪中國的賣家資源。
億邦動力網(wǎng)獲悉,繼德國企業(yè)孵化器Rocket Internet旗下的拉美電商平臺Linio開始在華招商后,拉丁美洲最大電商平臺mercadolibre也于7月份正式面向中國賣家。
Mercadolibre目前涵蓋的拉美13國
mercadolibre負(fù)責(zé)人Helcio Nobre向億邦動力網(wǎng)介紹道,mercadolibre成立于1999年,目前其電商業(yè)務(wù)范圍已覆蓋巴西、阿根廷、墨西哥、智利、哥倫比亞等13個(gè)拉丁美洲國家,品類已涵蓋電子、手機(jī)及配件、潮流服飾、家居生活、美容健康以及玩具等,平臺賣家月成交總額已達(dá)800萬美金。
Nobre稱,在過去,mercadolibre一直專注于本地商家的招商,但是從去年開始,mercadolibre決定把平臺開放給國際賣家,正式開展跨境電商業(yè)務(wù)。而中國是mercadolibre開放跨境電商招商的第二個(gè)國家,在此前mercadolibre已經(jīng)開始在美國進(jìn)行招商,并設(shè)立分公司,招募那些原本就在eBay和亞馬遜美國上銷售商品的美國賣家到mercadolibre上賣貨。
但是,據(jù)億邦動力網(wǎng)了解,mercadolibre在華仍沒有設(shè)辦公室,而作為比Linio慢了一拍在華招商的拉美跨境電商,mercadolibre怎么快速吸引中國商家入駐呢?
Nobre說道,實(shí)際上,目前mercadolibre在華招商的渠道主要有三個(gè):
第一,跟電商服務(wù)商“暢路銷”合作。暢路銷會幫助mercadolibre在華招商,并且中國賣家能直接利用暢路銷在mercadolibre上賣貨。在此前,mercadolibre已經(jīng)跟暢路銷在美國開展過類似的合作。
第二,跟相關(guān)跨境電商項(xiàng)目進(jìn)行合作。mercadolibre跟一些相應(yīng)的跨境電商項(xiàng)目進(jìn)行API接口連接,賣家不需要直接入駐mercadolibre,通過其他第三方電商項(xiàng)目就能直接加入mercadolibre并在平臺上賣貨。
第三,原始文件方式。mercadolibre會發(fā)送一些相關(guān)的招商文件或者一些傳單,然后讓有意向的客戶跟招商人員進(jìn)行洽談。
問及拉美電商市場發(fā)展的概況,Nobre表示,目前拉美電商發(fā)展非常迅速,年增長率已達(dá)30%,且移動電商發(fā)展的速度明顯高于PC端電商的發(fā)展速度。但物流仍是跨境電商的一大重點(diǎn),Nobre稱因?yàn)閙ercadolibre純粹是一個(gè)平臺性質(zhì)的電商企業(yè),所以不會像亞馬遜一樣提供類似FBA的倉儲服務(wù)。
“中國賣家可以直郵商品給拉美買家,物流時(shí)長大概為一個(gè)月左右,這是中國普遍賣家的做法。而使用海外倉會擁有較好的物流體驗(yàn),但是,因?yàn)槔?a target="_blank" style="color: black;" >市場有13個(gè)國家,賣家不可能都在13個(gè)國家都設(shè)有倉庫的,而且設(shè)本地倉也需要一筆很大的費(fèi)用。”Nobre說道。
據(jù)億邦動力網(wǎng)了解,實(shí)際上,mercadolibre已不是第一個(gè)接觸中國賣家的專做拉美市場的跨境電商平臺。此前,拉美電商平臺Linio已經(jīng)在深圳設(shè)立了中國辦事處,并擴(kuò)大了招募中國跨境電商賣家的計(jì)劃。而在去年11月,國內(nèi)前三的南美線路物流服務(wù)商廣州海德國際貨運(yùn)代理有限公司也上線了旗下拉美電商平臺COMPRAME.COM,利用物流優(yōu)勢和中國本土優(yōu)勢,希望快速切入拉美跨境電商市場。
以下為億邦動力網(wǎng)對Nobre的英文采訪原文:
