Read on the helpful steps below to get started with Import Business from China:
1. DECIDE ON THE PRODUCT YOU WANT TO IMPORT
Find products that people love to buy and usually go high on demand. You must think of something that is unique. Instead of focusing on getting cheap products from China, you should pay attention to the products that you can sell at a great value. More so, think of products that are easier to ship, fit in your budget range, and are not seasonal. Browse through popular trading sites in China like Amazon, Alibaba, and eBay. Get a grip into its niche and expand it from there.
2. GET A GOOD SUPPLIER
Having decided a product, you need suppliers to import it from. The best way to verify reliable suppliers is through their rankings on top trading sites in China. Then you go ahead to verify their contact information and contact the ones that seem promising to you. It is important to have a conversation to see if they are serious and ready for the trade transaction.
3. ORDER SOME SAMPLES
Make sure to order samples in the form of small orders in order to verify your suppliers, Try to order from 4-5 suppliers so you can get an idea. Take note of each of their pricing, shipping time, damages and customer services. Compare them and pick your most suited supplier. Please take note not to buy anything in bulk unless you have ordered their samples and you really like them.
4. SELLING YOUR PRODUCT
Decide whether you want to start with small quantities or straightaway stock up your inventories. And If you are new into this, it is strongly recommended you do it one at a time.
To sell products, pick a suitable sales channel – preferably two. Your options include Amazon, eBay etc. Now, set up a shop and get your products up. Once you get orders, ship out the products, keeping in mind the delivery time, packaging and costs.
5. SCALE YOUR PRODUCT
Start adding more products in the product line, send promotional samples with every shipment, start advertising and do necessary branding. On getting to this level, you would have tried, failed, attempted and succeeded at different products and suppliers. And when you think your sales are stable and you have finally found the perfect supplier for your products, then it’s time to grow your business.
Good luck!
