I am a supplier from China, and we are currently preparing promotional items for Halloween. Our initial lineup includes candy box and aromatherapy essential oil sets. Could you suggest any other items that are popular with Americans but that I might have overlooked?
I’ve been in this industry for seven months now, working for a distributor.
I’ve received a few inquiries but haven't closed any deals; most prospects go silent after I send a quote, and the few who do reply still don't place orders. Meanwhile, a newcomer who joined only three months ago has already secured orders.
Right now, I’m mostly just sending product information to potential clients in an attempt to build connections, but the response has been lukewarm. This is making me anxious and causing me to question whether I’m cut out for this industry.
Could anyone offer some advice? Am I heading in the wrong direction?
I am a distributor, and some of my clients want to print their logos on these "squishy" toys.
The soft surface makes printing difficult; I’ve consulted many factories, but most don't offer customization services. Even the few that do produce poor results—the surface ends up covered in dust, the print is easily misaligned, or the ink flakes off easily.
I recently found a solution to avoid this: we can place it in another container and print the company logo on that container. Doing it this way offers several benefits: the logo is easier to print, the squishy toy is protected, and the ink is less likely to rub off. The box can also serve as a small container for holding odds and ends.
I’ve already found a very affordable box manufacturer, so the overall cost won't increase much. What do you think of this solution?
