Factory Outlet
Careful travel preparation to help you improve your chances for a successful visit. Although much depends on the main objectives of your visit preparations following general will fit most of them.
There Will Be electricity during your visit?
Chinese factories are forced by the government not to use electricity Power Days one or two per week. The government imposed cutoff turns between industries and factories during the week (including Saturday and Sunday) because demand outstrips supply. Heavy penalties are imposed if they violate rules. Most factories have purchased generators to overcome power shortages and avoid interruptions production. However, make sure the power is when you visit or you will not be able to see the production operations firsthand.
Cards are critical!
They are lightweight and can be used long after your visit to China in order to make much more than you would normally think is necessary. In China, everyone expects you to give at least one card, and if you are meeting with several people, you may Handout a dozen or more at a time.
About Cell Phones
I suggest you check with your supplier cell phone home to see if your phone works in Hong Kong and China. Give your cell phone number at any supplier that you prearranged to meet.
The cost of calls to mainland China are very high and many visitors buy a SIM card of a mobile retail outlet at the arrival of China to reduce telephone costs. The call charges Hong Kong is cheaper, but you can also buy a SIM card from one of the local service providers.
You will need a Digital Camera
A digital camera is one of the most important tools you will need during your visit. You will have many opportunities to take pictures of products, production processes and operations of quality control. These include close-up photos of details which can be seen in a catalog. Remember to bring a spare battery with you because you probably will not have the opportunity to recharge the battery while traveling between the plants. You may also need another memory card if you do not already have one of these cards in 2-5 GB your digital camera.
You need a notebook
If you have a notebook computer, take it each meeting. If you do not, consider buying one. That this purchase will be worth the money you spend on it.
Your notebook the computer gives you the information necessary for your business negotiations, the more you can view information about your company, and the concept of packaging for your products. You can also enter vital information during your discussions without the need to take notes manuscript. At the end of each day, you can send information and pictures related to the head office.
Colleagues at home can in this way to interact and request additional information if something important was missed.
I suggest a large capacity battery for your laptop. It lasts up to 6 hours or more. If this type of battery is not available for your model to make a long battery fully charged.
Your Company Catalog
If you have your own catalog of the company, make some games with you for meetings with your suppliers. From my experience, it makes a good impression and helps to cement relationships with your provider if you hand in a game during the most important meetings. Remember that you are the ambassador of your business and want to show your business in the best light possible.
Your Corporate Identity Concept Artwork
Create your own social identity concept is very important. After much effort at home, it would be a very good idea to bring with you to the show suppliers during your meetings. It reinforces the impression that you are doing and helps suppliers to understand your needs.
Sketches, drawings, photos are the perfect tools to suppliers Inform
You should also make any sketches, drawings or pictures to clarify what you want from your suppliers. Sometimes, vendors tell you where you can find products and help save much time.
Your notebook charges
What is a specific requirement? A specific requirement may be more complex sales packaging or instruction manual in several languages that are often needed for Europe.
For electrical products, the cap is a major cost factor. The British BS plugs is more expensive than the U.S. plug.
Quality Requirements
Your quality requirements are very important for costs. The State required quality standard is defined by your application Acceptable Quality Level (AQL) which sets the limits of the average process satisfactory.
Licensing and Royalties
Other cost factors are significant licensing fees and royalties to be negotiated with certain suppliers. DVD players / recorders, MP3 players etc are examples.
Your shopping list
To avoid being distracted, you must prepare your shopping list of products you want the source. This list must include at least following:
- Product Description
- Target Price U.S. $ fob
- Quantity of the first expedition
- If possible, an estimate of annual quantities
- Requested earliest delivery date
