Two years ago, I had the opportunity to learn from others running similar business models, which inspired me to give it a try myself. Now, I operate two websites focused on men's fashion and women's golf wear for students, collaborating with influencers and attracting customers through gifting on social media.
I source from 3 countries: China, Korea, and Japan, with China accounting for 80%, and Korea and Japan about 10% each. I chose Korea while looking for unique products not available elsewhere.While I knew about the affordable prices in Dongdaemun, I didn’t know how to access them until I discovered Sinsang Market. Since September 2021, I’ve been sourcing Korean products.
I first learned about Sinsang Market through an influencer I worked with. After checking several articles on Google, I felt confident and signed up immediately.
Previously, I had hired a buyer to source products, so I’m very grateful for Sinsang Market, which alleviates me that burden.
The membership system of Sinsang Market is very useful because it doesn’t publicly disclose wholesale prices to the general public. While Chinese services are easy to register for, they often have issues with disclosing wholesale prices. I feel that Sinsang Market’s system, which requires approval, is much safer.
Dongdaemun products are affordable and have many cute designs, which I find very appealing. In particular, golf wear from Dongdaemun is very popular and has significantly contributed to my sales. I hope to see more golf wear items in the future and plan to increase my sourcing volume based on sales performance to bring in more Korean items through Sinsang Market.
