PRODUCT SOURCING
Our China team are ready to help
You've rigorously vetted your product, you're confident that you've picked a winner. Now you have to find a supplier to work with.
​
With language and cultural differences, finding the right supplier for your product can be challenging. Negotiating initial pricing and terms can be a daunting task, especially if you're not familiar with those cultural differences.
​
You'll need to keep a good record of all your communications with each so you can easily determine which ones you feel most comfortable potentially working with.
​
We recommend you narrow your list down to three potential suppliers, and then obtain a sample from each so that you can determine which product meets your quality criteria.
If this sounds daunting, our team is ready to help
We’ll develop a detailed sourcing brief with you.
Our local China experts can use this to identify suitable suppliers from their contact lists. Rather than using a website to find suppliers, our team members will use their knowledge and local contacts to find companies ‘off the beaten path’.
You’ll get a list of three hand picked suppliers able to meet your quality, branding, and pricing requirements. All you have to do is order samples and choose who you want to work with.
