Kian is back with a brace of strategies to get you going for 2020 and some key do’s and don’t’s around Chinese New Year – The latter could save you a small fortune and a world of pain…

All About Chinese New Year

Chinese New Year changes every year. The date changes following the Lunar Calendar.
Working with China suppliers is all about making good relationships.
This year is the Year of the Rat, send them greetings through WeChat, audio, video or email messages.
Respect their time. This is an important holiday in China, so no rush orders on Chinese New Year.
Do not place orders before Chinese New Year and after Chinese New Year. Factory workers are out for a month.

Optimising Your Product

Package your product but make it reusable.
Add value to your product like you can use all parts of your product.
Give your customers a brand experience to grow brand loyalty.

Dealing in the Canton Fair

Never ask for price at the Canton Fair.
It is common that they give you the fair price but not the factory price.
Compare apples with apples, always get the specification sheets on items you like.
Go around and ask the price, go to the supplier that you work well with or have a good working relationship with.
Track the dates of when you ordered – make sure to take note of the exchange rate on the dates.
- Make sure to ask your supplier to give you a discount and telling them you will put it back in the business like discount for your customers in turn.
