For People Who are Still On the Hunting for Chinese Supplier

"The fist and the most important thing is to understand what you need", Sophia pointed out the key, which is the preventative of Electronics Wholesale Company ePathChina. There are many categories you first need to know such as manufacturers and 3rd-party supplier. You have to think about these suppliers and properly categorize them.

Properly categorizing the suppliers will help you understand what you need. For example, if you need to import products in a narrow range, you may choose a manufacturer other than a 3rd-party supplier. If you are a small business and need dedicated attention, you may want to develop a good relationship with a small family-owned business.

To further develop your category towards your specific needs you may need to do some preliminary Internet research. You will find creating a data table to record the result more efficiently and effectively. The table should include columns like company name, contact information, business scale and scope, category check boxes (important), and notes. The first 100 results would be the most relevant websites related to the product of your concern.

"For example, if you come up with idea about electronics or you have market channels for electronic products", Sophia gave an example, "then you input "wholesale", "china wholesale" or "wholesale electronics", you can find our company website www.ePathchina.com is in the fist page. Of course that's because we are professional electronics wholesaler in China. Our company ePathChina Limited is in Shenzhen, the global manufacturer and sourcing center of electronic products. We works for providing for all business persons, such as ebay sellers, distributors, store owners, retailers, drop shippers and small wholesalers with high quality goods at a competitive price." If you are come up with idea with other products, then you have to regret that ePathChina is not professional supplier in the products that you want.

Analyzing the types of suppliers has strategic importance. It will help you to understand where you are, what kind of results to expect, and what are the things you need to take care of in the mutual cooperation. You may want to have an experienced person help you to analyze the information. In your strategy, you will also need to include the consideration of the future contracting and operation. You may seek advice from Chinese professionals who understand the Chinese mentality, culture and business practices. For instance, you may find many useful information published by ePathChina which is used to help clients.

Use your industrial judgment. Information comes from seemly insignificant data. For example, the email addresses may reveal useful information about Chinese suppliers. However, do not judge an address too quickly. You never know where good information can come from. Be aware that while the decision-maker may not speak any English, establishing good relationship (guanxi) with the top management is crucial for long-term success. Email is good for exchanging product specifications, catalogue and price list.

To establish a deeper relationship, a phone call is 10 times better than email. A personal meeting is 100 times better than a phone call. Many people want to start a business, so you have to show you are more serious. As long as your contact person uses English, you can just go ahead and give that person a phone call. It does not matter how much you and that person can understand each other; you can always follow up with an email.

Warnings If you send out inquiries you will get tons of replies from suppliers of all kinds. Some guys may continuously send you product info for years, and are able to pass through all sorts Spam protection. You may not want to use your primary email account to register with these sites. Be careful with suppliers sub-contracting your order! When facing a backlog of deliveries, Chinese suppliers usually sub-contract them partially or in full, without taking the precaution to inform their clients! Most of the times this leads to sub-standard deliveries. Of course, these will never happen in ePathChina Wholesale Company.
