Buy It From China  - New Product Development Our Experience: We have had new products made in China for customers since 1988, some of which were patented or trademarked. We work with most products made from metal, plastic, wood, stone, glass, nylon or leather. Sorry, We do not source jewelry, textiles or chemicals. We are not beholden to any one factory which leaves us free to find the right manufacturer for your product. This means you won't be pushed to use a factory that may not be right for the job. Quality control is the first consideration when choosing a factory. A good price is meaningless if the Quality is not good.   Sourcing product that is made from multiple processes or materials is not a problem. Parts from different factories are sent to one location for final assembly. All assembly and packaging can be done; products are packaged to your specifications. Going from concept to production and successfully marketing a new product is a process that requires that you take several critical steps before we can quote your product: 1. The product must be engineered, prototyped and tested to insure that it performs as needed. Not prototyping your product is a costly mistake that can result in a shipment of defective parts. The prototyping process can also save you money by exposing ideas on how the product might be made at a lower cost. 2. If there might be any patent or trademark infringement issues you will need to perform a patent search and/or consult a patent attorney. We do not perform patent or trademark searches; we will not knowingly source a product that would infringe on another company's patents or trademarks.   3. After you have made a fully functioning prototype you should have shown it to as many of your customers as possible, asking them if they will buy the product. True market research is asking your customers if they will pay you for your product; market research isn't coming up with an idea that you think will sell and then going for it.  (It's what your customers want to buy that counts, not what you want to sell.) From doing this you should be able to asses whether you should proceed in getting the product made and what quantities to buy.   4. After you've prototyped your product and done the right market research you should have engineer's prints created and/or a final version of the prototype made. We need a prototype that represents the product exactly as you want to buy it or a complete set of prints in order to quote the product. We cannot be responsible for returning any prints or samples. 5. You must have the financing in place to purchase the inventory; our minimum order value is $15,000.00. If you are setting up a new company you should have made a business plan. Your business plan will help you understand the total costs involved in setting up a new business so that you can acquire enough capital to insure that your new company will make it over the long haul. Lack of planning and insufficient capital are 2 of the biggest reasons why new businesses fail.    What you need to give to us to submit a quote: 1. Prototype and/or engineer's drawings. 2. Purchase quantities per part. 3. The major city closest to you so that we can provide a quote with the freight included.                                         Copyright Buy It From China 2006
