    • Apr 2017 - Aug 2022

    I have been running an online retail business of my own. In this business venture, I conduct research, utilise sales data and customer feedback in order to create product design. I contact manufacturers in China to produce the designs and constantly communicate with them to ensure the design requirements are met. I also negotiate the price of production with manufacturers whilst underlining the quality of materials and cost efficiency without compromising the products. Once I have been notified of the finished products, I arrange the importation of the manufactured products to be sold on Amazon USA and eBay Australia. Throughout the years of doing this business, I have learned that to be successful I should employ e-commerce strategies and respond to customer needs in order to increase sales.
