Hey everyone, are you looking for a bag factory to cooperate with recently? I have to say, I really stumbled through a lot of hurdles before realizing that searching for factories on social media is super inefficient, and the communication is often unproductive. Today, let me share with you how to communicate correctly and avoid taking detours!
Common Mistake 1: Sending a Random Image and Asking for a Price
A lot of people just send a random image of a handbag and ask, "How much to make this bag?" If the quote is too high, they immediately back off. Some people even just ask, "What’s the price for custom bags?" without any context. This approach is really careless.
Correct Approach 1: Asking for an Accurate Quote
When sending an image, make sure to clearly specify the following details:
Material (Is it cowhide, sheepskin, canvas, etc.?)
Dimensions (Length, width, and height, with precise measurements in centimeters)
Initial order quantity
Interior details (Are there any compartments, zipper pockets, etc.?)
Required craftsmanship (For example, embroidery, printing, metal embellishments, etc.)
The more information you provide, the more accurate the factory's estimated quote will be. However, keep in mind that the final accurate quote will depend on the factory's sample production and material calculations. If you have a physical sample, sending it over will allow the factory to give a quote that is much more precise.
Common Mistake 2: Asking for the Minimum Order Quantity Without Any Context
Starting off with a question like "What’s your minimum order quantity?" doesn’t give the factory any insight into your needs, so they won't be able to give you an accurate response.
Common Mistake 3: Asking Only for the Price Without Further Discussion
Simply asking for a price without providing any other details makes it hard for the factory to determine whether they can accept your order or not.
