The Ecomcrew Ecommerce Podcast Episode 77: Doing Business In and With China - Part One
Hello, it’s Mike and Dave! This is our first official podcast together. We figured a good first episode was to compare notes about our experiences with doing business in and with China. Dave and I both import our products from China and for the most part, we’ve both had great results from it.
This topic will be a two-parter. Today we answer some questions about China. If you are thinking about getting into importing from China or any other foreign country, this two-part series will hopefully prepare you for what to expect.
Here are some of the points we discussed today:
- When did we start importing from China?
- How the market has changed since we started our importing.
- Why China really is “the factory of the world.”
- What it is like to import from other countries, besides China.
- Dave’s tips for optimizing your inventory costs.
- The benefits of having a large product catalog.
- What we hate about doing business with China.
- What we love about doing business with China.
Just a reminder, I am speaking at some events this year. Here is a list of those events.
- Ecommerce All Stars -- Austin, TX, August 4-5.
- Global Sources -- Hong Kong, October 17-19.
- EcommerceFuel Live -- Laguna Beach, CA, January 11-13, 2018.
