How to find a suitable Foil Food Packaging Supplier ?

Normally there’re 4 common marketing methods that widely exist in China’s Foil Suppliers:

E-commerce platform

The first choice in China now is Alibaba ( Following Made-in-China & Global sources), because all suppliers must provide their identity & company registration info. so buyer’s don’t have to worry about being cheated.

It worths notice that,
there’s large numbers of suppliers, between which the good and bad ones are intermingled, for suppliers that completely rely on E-commerce platform, they can obtain large data flow so as to draw more page view by paying membership fee every year.
(for Alibaba, it is $4650/Year).

The benefit of paying is that marketing & maintenance are not necessary any more, all they need to do is just constantly updating product info. so as to increase exposure rate.

But,that ticky-tacky products info.will soon confuse & exhaust buyers apart from price comparison, they cannot find more useful info.

apart from the price, wasting a lot of time in finding qualified suppliers.

What’s worse is that for some buyers that only concentrate on price, they might receive products with poorer quality than expected and nerve-wracking after-sale service in the end.

Therefore, plenty of time and energy are needed in researching & determining suppliers on the E-commerce platform in order to determine the reliability. Imprudent purchasing may be accompanied by huge risks of product quality , usually, this kind of supplier won’t refunded.

Exhibitions & Fairs.

Exhibitions & fairs provides a platform for face-to-face communication between buyers & suppliers, it might be the main way of looking for Chinese suppliers apart from E-commerce platform, and also the most traditional & effective way.

Normally, Most Chinese suppliers choose canton fair (Spring Edition & Autumn Edition)
It is the largest and most well-known fair show in China, large number of products can be delivered and the professionality of suppliers can be shown to the hilt..

Some foil suppliers choose to attend other related exhibitions besides Canton Fair, normally they choose large & industry-related fairs.

Each year, more than 10,000 suppliers came from all over China to attend Canton Fair(Spring Edition & Autumn Edition),
accounting about 95% of the whole exhibitors.

For other related shows such as NRA Show, suppliers from China accounts about only 5%.

Google search & Independent website

– Google search

For many suppliers in China, the most familiar Google service is PPC, which should be paid to Google. Nature searching is not their strong point, even for some large companies.

They don’t have enough consciousness of constantly pushing valuable information to buyers. After all, why additional efforts should be paid to SEO since money can solve everything!

This is what generally exists in Chinese supplier’s mind, especially those companies that’s weak in marketing.

– Independent website

On the basis of such insufficient understanding of marketing & advertising, website building has been ignored by most Chinese suppliers, that’s why buyers can always find that neither the interface nor the contents of suppliers’ website can reach their expectation, let alone getting effective information from it.

and also, you can rarely find them via searching keywords except for Google Ads.
