    Duty-free shops. Things are basically the same as **, but there is no need for postage and taxes, and there is a little difference from the counter, after all, even if it is the same brand, buy it in different places, there will definitely be different places. It's hard to say which one is better, but I'm personally more inclined to duty-free things.

    There is no difference in packaging, but there are still some small gaps in the packaging, and many people say that the things in duty-free shops and counters are different, because duty-free shops are sold to people who go to travel, and most of the counters are sold to local people.

    The quality of cosmetics in duty-free shops and counters is the same. In fact, there is no difference between duty-free cosmetics and counter cosmetics. Each cosmetics brand has its own mature production line, the production line has its own product formula, filling factory, etc., if you open another production line for duty-free shops, then you need to open the mold formula and management, and the operating costs outweigh the losses.

    If you feel that the effect is different when using cosmetics, it may be that the products are produced in different regions and are affected by the convenience of local water sources and climates, so there will be some differences in cosmetics produced in different regions.

    So in general, most of the duty-free version and the counter version have the same ingredients and the same efficacy.

    Duty-free shops. The difference with the counter is:

    1. Different definitions.

    1. Duty-free shops refer to those that have been approved by the General Administration of Customs.

    Approved, by the business unit in the People's Republic of China *** or its authorized department approved location. Set up sales places that meet the requirements of customs supervision and supervised warehouses for storing duty-free goods, and sell goods to specified objects, such as duty-free shops.

    2. The counter is a counter or sales department in the store featuring one or several unique goods, which generally exists separately in the form of a counter.

    Second, the service objects are different.

    1. Duty-free shops are mainly for people going abroad for business, ocean-going seafarers, overseas Chinese, overseas Chinese, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan compatriots, Chinese citizens who go abroad to visit relatives and foreign experts in China.

    2. The general counter is for all people.

    Three, **Different:

    1. Duty-free shops are generally exempt from consumption tax.

    Target. Duty-free shops are not considered imported, so some taxes are exempt.

    2. There are many other taxes included in the goods **, so compared with duty-free shops, the things in the counter will be much more expensive.

    The counter is the same as the duty-free shop. The quality of the goods is the same and the quality is the same, except for the difference in packaging and price, the quality of the product is very rare, unless it is purchased from overseas duty-free shops.

    Duty-free shops are shops that have been approved by the General Administration of Customs to operate, while counters are shops that self-employed households apply to the industrial and commercial authorities to operate under the condition of legal compliance.

    There is a difference between a duty-free shop and a counter

    There is no difference between the duty-free shop and the products of the counter in terms of composition and quality. The only difference is their**, the duty-free shop is much cheaper than the counter.

    The pricing is high or low because the cost of the counter is higher, and if you want to recover the ingredients, it must be more expensive, and the tax exemption is approved by the state without tax, which effectively reduces the cost, so its pricing will be lower than that of the counter.

    Duty-free shops are generally set up in airports and other places, and many tourists like to go to duty-free shops when they go abroad and then bring them back to China, because the same products, the same quality, and the money spent is indeed cheaper than buying at the counter.

    At present, the duty-free shops in China mainly include duty-free shops at ports, duty-free shops for means of transport, duty-free shops in the city, duty-free shops for diplomats, duty-free shops for ships, and duty-free shops for foreign exchange for Chinese personnel going abroad.

    counters andDuty-free shops. In fact, there is no difference between the two in terms of product ingredients, take Korean cosmetics as an example:

    1. The brands settled in the duty-free shops are all relatively well-known big brands. Duty-free shops are a great opportunity to promote your brand.

    2. For any well-known brand, as long as it is sold in Korea, it is impossible to make several versions.

    If there is a difference, only those that are specifically exported to other countries will require changes in the composition because the health and quarantine standards of each country are different. In other words, as long as it is sold in Korea, the product is the same.

    3. The products are produced first, and then combined into sets of boxes according to actual needs. The production line is the same, and there will be no operation of several different production lines, which is not conducive to the company's cost control and cannot be flexibly adjusted according to market needs.

    The difference between a counter and a duty-free shop:

    1. The definitions are different. Duty-free shops are available through the General Administration of Customs.

    Approved stores, counters are self-employed.

    In the case of legal compliance, apply to the industrial and commercial department for the operation of the store.

    2. The sales object is different. Duty-free shops sell to specific targets, mainly people who go abroad, holders of valid air tickets and passports, etc.; The counter is sold to all consumers.

    3. The collocation is different. Generally speaking, the counter version of the box is richer in content and more flexible in collocation. Due to the existence of the duty-free policy, the duty-free version will be more affordable than the counter.

    Duty-free shops. Most of the cosmetics are produced abroad, while the cosmetics in the domestic counter are all produced by domestic factories, so they are different. But in use, the effect is almost the same.

    Some cosmetics have different batches and production numbers, but the ingredients are the same, and they are also the same formula, and there will be some differences only because the production in different regions is affected by the climate and water source.

    If you want to check whether the cosmetics you bought are **, you can go to the counter and the official website to inquire. For many imported goods, duty-free shops are exempt from tax, but the cosmetics in the counter are marked after the tax is included**. That's why cosmetics are more expensive than those in duty-free shops.

    Generally, duty-free shops mainly serve overseas Chinese, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan compatriots, people going abroad for business, etc., and domestic counters can be open to everyone.

    From the pricing of skincare products, the production cost of skincare products.

    It's about 10%-15% of the retail sales, which is a common situation, but there are also some conscientious brands, and the cost of the product will be ** to 30%-40%, so it seems that the gross profit of skin care products.

    is quite impressive. However, the gross profit of skin care products should also remove the cost of marketing communication and channel sales.

    The profits of skincare products have become very skinny.

    Physical stores generally need to consider store rent, employee salaries, purchase costs and store decoration and other expenses, and although the cost of cosmetics production is low, but through a series of operations by middlemen, the purchase price of cosmetics will be much higher than the cost price.

    If you can get the goods directly from the manufacturer, brand, first-class merchant or distributor, then the cost will be much lower and the profit will be much higher; If you take the goods from other channels, then the profit is relatively low.

    But just make good use of your sales skills.

    Serving customers attentively and knowing a certain amount of experience in cosmetics store management, high profits are still hopeful.
