Why worry about creating your own brand when you can use one that is already established? Many importers naive assume that import products from China brand is a shortcut to success. That could not be further from the truth. This article will explain that this is not possible and an attempt to import brand products can ruin your business.
It will outsmart Steve Jobs
We receive numerous requests every week from small businesses looking for many things from iPhones and iPads to Sandisk USB memories and clothing to score. While many of these products are manufactured in China, major corporations like Apple keep tight control on their supply chain.
Considering the amount of money these companies invest in development and marketing, do you really think it makes sense that allows other importers buy their products at minimum prices in order to bring down prices? Well, I also think so.
The same is true of Chinese domestic brands such as Huawei or Xiaomi. Huawei is a market operator in Europe and America. They have more than enough resources to manage distribution on their own. Xiaomi has yet to launch their products internationally. However, their products are made ??par the Chinese market and is therefore not comply with European and American certifications, such as CE and FCC .
"How about production night shift? "
There are many stories about hiring manufacturers of branded products that occur during the night shift. The product is "essentially the same" as the original since it is produced in the same factory. But this is not the only benefit - the price is so low that even a small order can generate a good return on investment. Sound too good to be true? It is! No "night production" in China. It is a myth. A fairy tale.
Let me ask you something. Sony is about to close its TV business. If Sony is struggling to make a profit worth in the TV industry, then how the hell are you supposed to do?
That's just a story used by scammers to lure unsuspecting business owners. Moreover, even if there were something like the production of "night shift" would be illegal. Why? Because parallel imports are illegal in many states of the European Union and the United States. There is only one way to buy branded products and is buying an official distributor in your country or market. However, if this sounds new to you, honestly I doubt you are ready for an adventure like that. Companies like Samsung and Apple are, and may dares afford to be very picky about who they do business.
The Chinese retail prices are usually higher than in the US or Europe
Guess that an iPhone 5S costs up to 25% more in the People's Republic of China compared to the United States. Sounds strange? It is not. The difference between rich and poor in China is large. It makes no sense for companies to lower their prices. Those who can afford it buy regardless of price. Well, almost. Either way, the average Zhou can not afford an Apple iPhone even if lower their prices one or two hundred dollars. In other words, forget branded products imported from China.
False, fraud products confiscated payments and charges
Those who try to import branded products from China are generally very inexperienced. In other words, they are easy for scammers white. That is why, it is not surprising that this industry, if we can call it that, is completely infested with fraudsters. While some of them do not hide the fact that they are trading fake products, others claim to offer genuine brand products at amazing prices.
As mentioned in the title, there are only three possible outcomes when importing "brand products". You receive fake products or receives nothing. If you're lucky, the scammer will take your money and leave. To never see him again ranges. If not so lucky, you will receive fake products. Well, at least it's something? That's the problem. Import fake products is illegal. Import fake products for commercial use (and sell) is quite likely to end in litigation. You certainly do not want to end up like these guys.
In addition to violating IP laws, NEVER fake products meet the certification standards American or European products. Whereas the fake products are often manufactured by criminal syndicates, this should not be a surprise. Failure to comply with product certification standards ( for example EC, REACH and FCC ) can be as disastrous as being caught importing counterfeit goods.
Create your own brand
I hope I have convinced even consider importing branded products from China. Forget peaceful progress with the name of someone else. If you are a serious importer of products from China you must create your own brand. While it is not a shortcut, put a mark to a product adds tons of value . Maraca put a product "Made in China" is easy. Many providers can offer a personalized logo or packaging design for your product for a low cost.
