SOLUTIONS TO HELP YOU SELLING YOUR PRODUCT IN CHINA.

Strategic development of your distribution channels is key to ensuring long-term success and profitability. Positive relationships with key distributors in your market segment will be essential to your success. Create mutually profitable partnerships to ensure that your distributors will promote your product line.

Are you seeking local or regional distribution to a specific market segment, or national market saturation across multiple segments? The advantages of choosing a distributor should be evaluated at all levels of market access and geographical penetration. A distributor purchases the product directly from you. Their services includes warehousing your product, featuring your product in their catalog, selling direct to retail accounts, transporting product line to retail accounts and handling all ordering and invoicing of retail accounts.

It is not easy for exporters to find proper China distributors. However, there are cost-effective ways to find many potential distributors in China to sell your products. Before you set up to physically go to China, you should conduct sufficient research and connection, so that your costly visit could be very productive.

HOW WE HELP YOU Finding Distributors?

  1. Search to get general idea of the market situation and distributors in China for products that are similar to yours. China distributors of course focus their attention on China market. So they normally do not have website or web listing information in English.
  2. Analyze the information and initiate the contact with interested distributors. We may directly send email or call to the distributor.
  3. Visit the distributors in China and finalize the cooperation agreement.

Tips

  1. In developing relationship with China distributors, you need to repeatedly exchange information with them, discussing business plan, marketing support and launch plan, etc. In the cross-culture and cross-system environment, intensive communication is the key to establish firm relationship. When proper, sign a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the idea distributor, expressing the intention of cooperation. MOU has very important symbolic significance of confirming business relationship in Asia.
  2. The equity information of a China distributor is very important, it may be privately owned limited liability company, a government owned company, a company that pertains or is affiliated with a big group of companies, or industrial association, or local government. Such information is the key to understand the capability and marketing channel of the distributor. For example, if you are to sell consumer products to upscale department stores, you may use a private limited liability company. Or if you are to sell control devices to energy industry, you may want to work with a distributor that can help you go through necessary regulatory process.
  3. In China very few distributors can operate national wide. You may need to find many distributors to cover the whole market. But you should start with working with one in a major city.
  4. There are sayings that working with China distributors is difficult. Yes, it is. However, that would be where the opportunity exists. Once you get through, the transaction cost will become your profit and the entry barrier will help protect yourself from competition.
