    Tips for Negotiating with Chinese Manufacture

    I'd imagine it depends on multiple factors. Have you at all mentioned that you are on a very fixed timeline for production? Because pushing to get these details sorted in a matter of 50ish hours would put you at a big disadvantage if they sensed your urgency, I think. This also depends on the...

    Tips for Negotiating with Chinese Manufacture

    From what I remember reading in Walter's thread, one of the best ways to negotiate with a manufacturer on price, without coming off as "rude" is to show a quote from at least one other manufacturer with their lower price (with their company information and important details censored). This may...

    Thank you for this great thread. What would you do in a situation like this: You've developed a product for your higher end Outdoors products brand. After this you then realize there is also a substantial need for this same product in a slightly altered form, but in an unrelated category, such...

    Just Imported My First Sea Shipment: Here's what that process looks like

    GOLD! 
    One thing to check is the specific type of delivery truck it will come on. On a recent shipment I received (two pallets), I specified a truck with a lift gate so that it could be delivered to my residential address. I assumed this would be a box truck, kind of like what Lowe's uses to deliver...

    Where's the Line between Hustling for Free Advertising and Spam?

    MARKETING 
    Using this technique during a product development stage is different than using the same technique as a primary marketing tool to sell the product. The first is kind of like cold calling, looking for pain points to solve. The second feels a bit more MLM-ish since it is (in the example you gave)...

    Question about Prototypes!

    In addition to what Hooked said, depending where you live you may find some local resources. For instance if you are doing something that primarily uses metal, you could go to a metalworking shop and ask them to custom fabricate something for you. Or there may be an actual facility dedicated...

    It may be powerful, but it's bullshit!

    Love your illustrations hahaha. When I encounter the word "deserve", and the blind sense of entitlement that goes along with it, I struggle to not become immediately frustrated with the person flaunting such an attitude. I've also been seeing this way too much in advertising. That must mean...

    Thanks for sharing this lesson. I have been finding it heartening to see so many posts on this forum about how the core nature of an entrepreneur should be of positive qualities and good will unto others.
