China has many weddingdress factories that can provide high quality and low price wedding dresses. But it is not easy to find a qualified manufacturers , unless you can talk with them in skilled mandarin so as to exclude some trade companies which mixed among them. For some companies whose purchase quantity is large, field visit is very necessary. But for some small dress shops, field visit is not so unrealistic. So they need more skills to distinguish between the trade companies and factories.
There are many platforms when looking for a wedding dress factory in China. Alibaba and Global Source are the most commonly used ones. They gather a lot of information of the factories. However, compared with the trade companies, the number of the factory does not seem to be so much. And if you don't know how to tell them, then you are probably going to be divided the profit. Of course, the worst situation is being deceived.
To distinguish the wedding dress trade companies and factories, the first one you need to be aware of is the product. If a website has thousands items of products to choose from, you need to pay attention. This one is likely to be a trade company, because a factory will not put so many product pictures on its website, even the strong factories. And then you need to see if the pictures they show are stolen from some other wedding dress brands. Of course, some small factories will do the same thing, so you'd better ask them to provide some real dress pictures. Generally, you can filter out most of the trading companies by using this method, because there are many trade companies take product images by themselves in recent years.
The second point is to see if they provide real address. Most of the trade company's web site doesn't leave their real address, but they will have their own official social networking site account, such as Pinterest, Facebook, Twitter, etc. If you find a website is well designed, and they have a lot of fans on their social account . Then you need to pay attention, because Chinese wedding dresses factories are not good at doing these.
The third point is to search related reviews of the company. If you find that a company have a lot of reviews, no matter they are positive one or negative one, you need to be alert, because it is likely to be a trade company, not a factory. Generally, custom-made clothes are mostly for wholesalers or larger clients. The condition aiming at the individual customer is few. Therefore there won't be too much online reviews about them. So when you see a large number of comments at website such as Trustpilot, especially the positive comments, then you need to pay your attention. It's almost certain that they are trade companies, and it is very possible that they are not very honest trade companies.
There are still many ways to distinguish trade companies and factories. But the most direct way is to visit them personally so that you can find out their actual strength, so as to make long-term cooperation in the future. Of course, if you're going to visit, you'd better hire an temporary interpreter to have an effective communication and negotiation.
