Novice businessmen are often faced with the problem of finding the most profitable and reliable suppliers. Some people come to the conclusion that it is better to go for the goods on their own. But where?
Instructions
Step 1
Even the owners of small shops or boutiques selling clothes, sooner or later decide to try to find alternative channels for the supply of goods, for example, directly from abroad. The most popular destinations for shopping trips, establishing contacts with suppliers and getting to know the market are China and Turkey. Each of these countries has its own peculiarities related to border crossing, location of factories and wholesale markets, customs regulations.
Step 2
China, first of all, attracts residents of the eastern part of Russia, since the border is located very close to Siberia, which can significantly reduce travel costs. For the first time, it makes sense to go on a study trip to Beijing, where there are a lot of wholesale markets, and a significant part of the sellers there understand Russian. In principle, you can arrange for yourself an excursion to nearby garment factories in order to place an order directly from the manufacturer. Naturally, for this you need to be prepared for fairly large volumes: about 150-200 units of goods.
Step 3
For small wholesale lots, Beijing markets and shopping centers are quite suitable. Manchuria is also quite popular, where almost all sellers speak Russian well. Unfortunately, prices there may be higher than in Beijing, but search costs will be less. Finally, for really large purchases, many people choose Guangzhou, which has a large selection of branded goods.
Step 4
As for Turkey, there is, in fact, only one direction here - Istanbul. It is in Istanbul that the most famous Turkish wholesale markets are located. For example, in the Laleli district, you can buy almost any Turkish product, but the average price will be higher than if you collect the purchase in parts.
Step 5
Thus, the area of Merter is considered the most suitable for the purchase of sportswear and knitwear. Zeytinburnu is the center of the leather industry, where you can find sheepskin coats, fur coats, handbags. In addition, there is also a good selection of T-shirts. Sweaters are best bought in Bayrampash, and dresses, shirts, suits - in Osmanbey. In any case, it is worth settling in the Laleli area, and from there, exploring the city's markets, comparing prices and quality.
