Tips for attending exhibitions:
You can contact some of your target Chinese clothing manufacturers before visiting a show. Try to arrange a meeting time with them in advance, in this case; the clothing manufacturer will leave more time to discuss with you.
Despite attending fashion exhibitions, you can also find clothing manufacturers from Chinese online platforms. The Chinese clothing manufacturers most frequently use the following Chinese B2B marketplace:
● Alibaba
You can search on these B2B platforms and contact some clothing manufacturers for details, following is an email script I personally use to contact manufacturers in China:
Hi, [name of clothing manufactures]
I am [your name] from [your company name] company.
I am interested in [product name of the clothing manufacturers]. I would like to ask some questions first:
1. What is the minimum order quantity?
2. What is the price of [product name of the clothing manufacturers] based on minimum order quantity? What's the price if I increase the amount?
3. Can you let me know the lead time based on minimum quantity?
4. Can you do OEM or ODM?
I need a sample first to verify your product quality. Can you indicate the sample cost, including shipping to:
[Your address]
Thank you,
[Your name]
Tips: Do remember not to write too short or too long emails for the first time. There are many crammers sending emails to different suppliers on the B2B marketplace every day. So many suppliers ignore those emails that look like spam.
If you want to get an answer from the manufacturers, write a concise and well-organized email is a must.
