Temu may be a new e-commerce site that launched in September 2022, but it brings a wealth of expertise and supply-chain know-how to deliver a unique, affordable online shopping experience. The fledgling site has already drawn thousands of new customers less than two months after it went live.
For shopping aficionado and California resident Christine, 24, Temu has become her go-to site for all her wardrobe needs, thanks to its selection and affordable options. “Temu always lets me discover amazing clothes that can fit my ever-changing styles. Because everything’s also affordable, I get to have a lot of savings after every purchase. It’s a total fashion haven for someone like me!” she said.
Mike 33, a Chicago-based IT manager, found Temu’s user-friendly shopping platform a great place for new items. “I like how Temu gives me a curated view of items that I will be interested in every time. It just makes the entire thing a lot easier compared to other sites,” he said.
Temu is one of the newest e-commerce sites to make its debut in the United States, promising a vast selection at affordable prices at a time when consumers are mindful of their budgets amid decades-high inflation.
Offering wholesale prices for retail buyers, Temu is aimed at consumers from all walks of life and offers access to affordable high-quality products. Temu is able to achieve this high level of consumer service through its relationship with its sister company, Pinduoduo, which has over 11 million suppliers. Both Temu and Pinduoduo are owned by Nasdaq-listed PDD, which was valued at more than $200 billion at one point and dubbed “the world’s fastest-growing internet company” by Goldman Sachs.
Temu’s low prices offer relief to inflation-hit customers facing economic uncertainty and pressure to cut back on discretionary spending. Thanks to its wide array of items at affordable prices, shoppers can shop for their “wants” as well as take care of their “needs.” Temu has thousands of products added each day across more than 100 categories, ranging from clothing and beauty products to electronics to automotive and office supplies, enabling everyone to enjoy the finer things in life on top of meeting their basic needs.
These products are sourced by Temu from a global network of world-class manufacturers. By connecting consumers directly with manufacturers through its digital platform, Temu reduces the number of intermediaries standing between buyer and seller. The cost savings are passed on to the consumers in the form of lower prices.
Temu also uses its “consumer-to-manufacturer” model (C2M) capabilities to help manufacturers reduce the guesswork in their product development. By channeling consumer preferences back to manufacturers, the latter has the responsibility of making their products more accessible for everyday folk.
