The small business has gone through from not familiar-not understand-know a little bit-understand much of it. However, the issues existed within the actual progress: business strategy, product problem, operation problem, shipping problems have been caused serious issues, which are required concerns. 

Most of store owners think the price can not compete with distributor, therefore they turn around and give up B2B platform for product resources buying. Under the general situation in this environment, the store runner is very sensitive to price when they buy products. From the view of market law, merchandise can be classified as: price sensitive merchandise and price non-sensitive merchandise. For price sensitive product, you have to make sure the price advantage for your merchandise, before it come into being a competitive advantage. Without that, it is very hard for enterprise to survive.
