Ans - Currently, you can sell fashion apparel for men, women and kids on JMJ Xplore. However, we are working towards introducing more categories that you can sell on the platform.

Ans - There is no additional or extra cost charged to sell on JMJ Xplore. However, a standard JM Jain margin of 3% is only levied, once you make a sale.

Ans - There are two pricing strategies that a seller has to adopt, post understanding his customers’ needs and demands. Let’s understand the two below:

NET SALE PRICE (NSP): This approach focuses on customers who want to purchase goods tailored to their tastes and preferences in small quantities and can make fast payments for the same. Under this, all discounts are deducted while setting the product rate.

WHOLE SALE PRICE (WSP): This approach focuses on customers who believe in making bulk purchases and making payments in trade cycles. Under this, all discounts are deducted during the invoicing phase.

Under both strategies, JMJ Xplore’s margin of 3% and quantity-based pricing model shall prevail.

Ans - Setting up a store is simple but getting active buyers to your store is the key to reaping success. Here are a few tips to increase your chances.

Quality is King - Display as many products (proper cataloging of products) as you can across categories with great quality to influence and encourage your buyer to make a purchase. Make sure you do not duplicate or replicate any product or design. Be you, be unique to improve your online exposure.

Picture Perfect - Customers get inspired by beautiful imagery, plus it helps to build your brand identity and emphasizes how amazing your product is. Try to upload high-resolution images that showcase all the details of the product you’re selling. After all, a picture speaks a thousand words.

Use Relevant Keywords – In your admin panel search ‘buying requests’ use keywords to identify those who are looking for similar products just like yours.

Improve Online Performance – Similar to offline stores, the amount of buyers you attract to your online store is closely related to your brand reputation and seller ratings.
Ensure that you maintain great customer service and keep your feedback rating as close to 100% as possible; customers are more likely to shop from a seller that is trustworthy and offers great service. This is why the feedback rating is so important.

Participate in Promotions – Attract a maximum number of buyers and drive huge traffic to your store by participating in paid promotions and getting featured on some high traffic pages of JMJ Xplore. This will increase the visibility of your products and help you boost your sales.

Deliver Delight to Customers – Good packaging and quick & timely delivery help you get good customer ratings and reviews. Acknowledging feedback, understanding customers’ unique needs, reflects quality service and increases buyers’ trust in you and your brand, which in turn makes for happy and satisfied customers.

Ans - Getting paid for your sale is based on the pricing strategy the customer adopted at the time of placing his order.

In case the customer operates under NET SALE PRICE (NSP), then the seller will get paid within 15 days of raising the invoice.

In case the customer operates under WHOLESALE PRICE (WSP), then the seller will get paid as per JM Jain’s standard process and procedures.

Ans - Usually, customers (buyers) suggest the shipping method and the courier service they would like to go for to get their products delivered. Alternatively, you (seller) can also hire a courier service to ship your items, if the customer does not select any method.

Most courier companies may offer free pickup, which you can use to reduce your transportation costs.

Ans - We take all possible precautions and safeguarding measures to protect your designs. We ensure this by verifying every buyer before onboarding them, while also limiting access to your products to relevant customers only. Even our merchandising team can only view limited listings.

Ans - Besides offering an innovative platform to sell, JMJ Xplore always backs its sellers. From order placement to execution and delivery, JMJ Xplore facilitates smooth functioning between the buyer and seller at each level, offering all the support required for a seamless selling journey.

Ans - A product quantity step is a feature that allows customers to take full control of their product order quantities. To help you better understand this step, here’s an example, suppose you want to sell t-shirts with a quantity step set to 2, then only 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, etc. number of items will be displayed in the Quantity Box for the wholesale customer to buy at a time. A customer cannot manually enter any number.
Sellers can set a minimum quantity for all their products, a maximum one, or a quantity step that allows customers to only buy in multiplications of your defined step.

Ans - A ‘Request for Quotation’ (also referred to as RFQ) is a sourcing request that a seller (manufacturer/vendor) receives from a buyer for orders that are in bulk quantities. With an RFQ, prospective buyers share specific requirements or features of the product they are interested in, for a particular price and delivery date. A buyer can submit multiple RFQs to multiple sellers/vendors to compare the prices and see what fits his budget.
On receiving an RFQ, a seller can engage with the buyer in 3 ways, namely:
• Accept – the offer made by the buyer
• Re-Bid – change the quantity, price, delivery date & other specificities to marry his budget and effort
• Cancel – the buyer’s quote, with no further communication
This re-bid request plays on loop moving from Seller>Buyer>Seller until the offer is formally agreed upon by both parties.

Ans - Submitting an RFQ is a fairly straightforward process between the buyer and seller. Here's an overview that depicts the process, based on 2 scenarios.

Seller Accepts the RFQ

Buyer submits RFQ ► Seller receives the RFQ ► Seller reviews the quotation ► Seller accepts the RFQ and sends it to the buyer ► Buyer accepts the RFQ ►Trade begins

Seller Calls for a Re-Bid on RFQ

Buyer submits RFQ ► Seller reviews the quotation ► Seller submits revised quotation to the buyer ► Buyer receives quotation (for Re-Bid) ► Buyer again submits updated RFQ to seller ► Seller accepts the updated RFQ ► Buyer receives approval ►Trade begins
