Thank you so much for your time, energy and resources to produce such an enlightening, comprehensive and genuine videos, especially this Kian . Your knowledge is so much appreciated and your passion inspiring .
Hello Kian, Thank you very much for the quality of the content you provide on this channel. Especially as it's a type of information we don't see much of. I wanted to warn you that the links to buy your training are not working. It's a pity both for you and for those who would like to follow your teaching (personally I would have bought the course if I could). Bravo again and all the best.
It's well air conditioned, so shorts and tshirt is fine, but sometimes it gets quite humid and can have heavy rainfall in Guangzhou so waterproof is also required!
Hi Kian, very informative video appreciate sharing it to everyone. I am planning to visit canton fair, but earlier to that is there a way we can have the exhibitor list to plant the visit in a more efficient way?
Amazing! Drop me an email to hello@sourcingwithkian.com which says 'Notepad' in the subject line and I'll send you all the questions I ask suppliers on products and their factory which will be very useful! For the exhibitor list you can view them on www.cantonfair.org.cn/en-US by searching for the products you want and it will bring up all the Canton Fair listed suppliers, but to be honest the website isn't the best, I always find way more at the fair than I do on the site.
@@SRIHARSHAKANKANALA Are you going to attend the 136th Canton Fair? If you want to attend, may be able to recommend someone to apply for a permit. Because I don't know much about applying for a permit, mine was also done for me by others.
@@SourcingWithKian tried to get one for wales this summer- all sold out in the shops! Good product ( needs a tweak on some designs😃, but very popular because of the British climate
Hi Kian thanks for the great video. One question: do we have to pre-reguster online to come to canton fair or we can just register at the information booth? Anything we need to bring such as printed photo for ID?
Great content here but I can't seem to see the canton fair web link you mentioned at the beginning in order to sign up for the show. Could you please post the link?
Amazing video. I am looking forward to attend the fair this year especially for office supplies category. For how many days should I plan my trip to cover all the booths in that category?
It’s much better if you do online, it can take quite a long time to register here. If you go to cantonfair.org.cn you can register there and then collect your buyers badge here
Thank you so much for the excellent videos, Kian! I am an interpreter for CN-EN, and if you know anyone need an Interpreter for visiting Canton, please contact me!❤❤
Hi great video. I have a question if you could help me it would be hugely appreciated. Im from the UK too and will be attending the fair in October this year. I have applied for my buyers badge and fill all my company details correctly but the status always says "to be reviewed" and has done for 4 weeks now. I have got the QR Code and the buyer invitation letter and waiting for my chinese visa to be posted back. My question is will the buyers badge always say to be reviewed until i arrive in China and present the QR code at a registration office with my Passport? As I'm beginning to panic. Any help would be great.
You can always try and register for a new one and see if that works otherwise you can also get your buyers badge once you're at the fair you can register there, some hotels in China do it too. But would be much better if you can sort before you travel - hope that helps
@SourcingWithKian Great content its the first video I have watched of yours., what is the MOQ with smaller suppliers at the fair. Would they entertain discussions with you if you are not looking to buy large quantities.
Hi Kian, I'm interested in starting to export products that require 2 stages (getting the raw bulk material from different countries, packaging it in bottles and boxes, and then getting it to Amazon FBA in USA. I live in Canada). Ultimately I want to find a system for this to be as cheap as possible and automated. Do you have some recommendations for it? I can't find any video or info online!
Great content as always Kian!! Thank you so much, may i also ask if it is part of your questioning with the new suppliers you met in the fair is How many year is their company, how big is their factory? Do they have alibaba or 1688 stores? Looking forward to hearing from you. Thank you so much!
Yeah sure I would ask all those questions, basically you can ask anything you like which makes you feel more comfortable to make a buying decision. In terms of 'how big is your factory' I would be asking: - How many workers do you have in your factory? - Which markets do you supply? - What certifications do you have? - Who is your biggest customer? - How many units can you produce per month? This will give you a good idea of how big they are and then you can decide if they are the right size to align with for your brand :)
@@SourcingWithKian awesome thank you Kian, may i also ask if in the course in Foundr is much more deeper and much more complete when it comes to sourcing techniques, procedures, etc.,? I appreciate the value in the free videos that you make an makes me wonder what more lessons you have in the course. Thanks for replying!!
@@RENZEDCORRUGATEDBOXSUPPLIER yeah the foundr course is A-Z and ticks every box for your product development and sourcing, basically leaves no stone unturned. But if you were going to purchase the course on Foundr I'd suggest getting Foundr+ which for the same price gives you access to all their courses including the 2 that I made, you can check that out here - bit.ly/FoundrPlus
@@SourcingWithKian thank you so much Kian! I wanted to know if there is a step by step guide for negotiating and securing exclusivity with your supplier is included in the course?
@@RENZEDCORRUGATEDBOXSUPPLIER There's an explanation in terms of exclusivity by time, quantity and region but to go step by step would require to know more about the product. But if you want to go over it in detail we can also do it on a 1on1 call and I can break it all down for you and help craft the message with the supplier - bit.ly/SourcingWithKianCoaching
Thanks for the very informative content. Hey guys I have a question about sourcing products. Anyone feel free to answer based on your experience. Let’s say, you sourced a bunch of goods from a supplier and are ready to sell them to your market. What if a customer needs after-sales service? e.g. The customer requires technical assistance with your product. However, you are an intermediary and have not technical expertise to assist. How do you manage these situations?
@rigorevangelista9875 which supplier do you need? Not sure if they'll be on alibaba as a lot of suppliers who attend the fair don't list on Alibaba but I can see if I have their contact info for you
@@SourcingWithKian I appreciate you making these videos so you can earn money from UA-cam. But this is not the topic I was talking about. You can simply share the name of the supplier which you trust so we can also contact them to manufacture our ideas. But that never happens. Because that does not make you money. Prove me wrong and I will apologize. But this is what happens all over the UA-cam.
@@NarrativeOfLifeM Just so I understand, you think I make these videos as a way to make money from youtube? How much time and effort and cost do you think it takes me to make a video like this? Just guess. To take 2 full days filming, hire a videographer, hire an editor to put the video together, cover travel expenses to get to the fair to make this video. And then how much do you think UA-cam ad revenue generates for a video like this? Email me k@sourcingwithkian.com and i'll show you the screenshot of how much UA-cam pays for this video, by the time this video gets to 1,000 views I'll be lucky if it pays $10. Now knowing what I do in product development / manufacturing and supply chain where the Olympics and NBA are my clients, do you think I would make a video like this to make $100? There are some people in the world which actually want to help because they have experience in the field and can help people a lot of time and money from education. You just have a negative mindset my friend. Also read above in the comments, I replied to the comment saying which manufacturer do you need connected to and I will get you the info. All the best and wishing you nothing but success 🙏
