HOW TO MAKE THE SOURCING PROCESS FAST & SUCCESSFUL?

-          Be clear about budget (for promotion, for high end sales or cheap market sales) and/or quality criteria. Buyer can give target price, then we work out best options in terms of quality and delivery terms; or Buyer give quality standards with detailed technical specifications: artworks, fabric, sewing, printing, embroidery, finishing, packing,.. and/or real samples, we will work out the best price and terms. Giving just the name of products without specific details and/or target price, the quotation process would take time and cost.

-          Be cooperative with us on RFQ process with daily communication to ensure the quotations and samples would be made exactly for your needs.

-          Be clear about norms and standards that factories REQUESTED to meet.
