So reverse e-commerce is inherently suitable for a large number of users of the platform, only with this premise, all the logic behind is set up, that for the user platform, domestic Tencent? Ali? Of course, for the vertical domain has a user group site personally feel can also be to practice reverse e-commerce, the user's practice cost is the lowest. Is there no user can not do reverse e-commerce? Personally feel that may not be, if you have enough to use for reverse e-commerce commodity resources, it is possible to attract enough users, if there is no resources, no users, individuals feel should not enter this field, so from the perspective of entrepreneurship, This is not a good starting point for entrepreneurship. At present, in fact, reverse E-commerce mainly in group buying and hotel reservations this piece, the former is suitable for users of the platform to do, the latter is suitable for the hotel resources to do will be more reliable!
Personally think that the opportunities for entrepreneurs in the mobile field may be greater, if you can find a suitable entry point, aggregate consumer demand at the mobile end, especially for service consumption aggregation, through location, mobile payment, and through direct and offline production of activities (such as two-dimensional code) May be able to create New Horizons in mobile reverse e-business.
