Sourcing your products from the China wholesale markets means margins you can not find elsewhere, margins which will skyrocket your profits and allow you to
dominate your market.
China has been described as the world's factory today.
The phenomenal economic growth in China, typified by the rise of
Shanghai - now the world's biggest city, in the world's biggest country - will have an ever-increasing effect on world trade, and on the world of re-selling on the
Internet.
China manufactures for the world, and anyone looking to source products just has to start their search in the China wholesale markets. And that
means me, and probably you as well.
Many worldwide re-sellers are still convinced that the way to a quick fortune is to go to China, find the guy who makes
shoes for Gucci or handbags for Prada, and persuade him to run off an extra few hundred.
A less-reputable China wholesale manufacturer might do this, but
the product will not bear the coveted label. You might manage to import the goods into the US, but no way can you sell them - legally - as brand-name products, even
if they are made by the same manufacturer as the genuine product.
Beware the so-called "grey market". The Brand name companies are becoming
ever-more aggressive in pursuing through the courts anyone infringing their copyright.
In most manufacturing sectors, China is a volume producer, which
means that you will always be facing high minimum order quantities, typically thousands of units, which make it seem a no-go area for the solitary trader of modest
means. But there is a solution to this problem.
China already has a good reputation for quality clothing, shoes, and basic commodities, but increasingly
Chinese wholesalers are turning to high-technology products.
