The Ecomcrew Ecommerce Podcast E568: How Are Temu Prices So Much Lower?
In this episode, Dave talks about how Temu is pressuring Amazon with its low prices, fast shipping and surge in popularity.
Ever since Temu's viral marketing ad in the Superbowl, they've grown to become one of the biggest competitors to Amazon.
But how is Temu able to offer lower prices compared to sites like Amazon and even eBay?
It has something to do with its business model and the fact that it lacks a few key features of other e-commerce sites. But is there more to it?
In this episode, we'll talk about how Temu has disrupted the e-commerce space, how Temu keeps its products cheap, and how they cut costs.
