According to customs statistics, in the first half of 2022, China's textile and clothing exports totaled $156.49 billion, an increase of 11.7% year-on-year. Among them, textile exports reached 76.32 billion US dollars, a year-on-year increase of 11.3%; Clothing exports reached 80.17 billion US dollars, a year-on-year increase of 12%.
Despite the pressure on China's textile and clothing exports, there are also opportunities for development. The gradual implementation and effectiveness of the package of stable economic growth policies introduced domestically will inject more positive energy into the entire industrial chain and export trade.
Where should textile companies find breakthroughs when they want to sell their products overseas and open up international markets? Mr. Mo from Guangzhou Huadu is engaged in the textile industry and part-time works in foreign trade. From zero experience to successfully opening up the international trade market, it only took less than half a year. Let's take a look at the story of Mr. Mo from Guangzhou Huadu.
01. With the help of intelligent tools, bravely explore unfamiliar fields
Mr. Mo from Huadu, Guangzhou, has run a factory that produces and sells textile products for many years, mainly targeting the domestic market. Occasionally, foreign customers come to the factory to pick up goods, and the price is higher than the domestic market price.
But as time went on, Mr. Mo found that his peers earned more from overseas sales and the profits were considerable, and he also developed the idea of doing so. But due to my lack of understanding of foreign trade, I dare not venture into unfamiliar fields and have not developed the international trade market for so many years.
If you want to do good, first sharpen your tools. Under the recommendation of a friend, Mr. Mo learned that Huacheng Chuangzhi can help develop global customers. He conducted a comprehensive investigation of Huacheng Creative Intelligence with a skeptical attitude, gained a deeper understanding of the platform's customer acquisition mechanism, and also inquired with friends about the effectiveness of other users. Finally, he decisively cooperated with them.
The Huacheng Creative Intelligence System relies on big data, cloud computing, and AI artificial intelligence technology to gain a deep understanding of the urgent demands of foreign trade enterprises, cover the demand for multi-level supply chain goods, help users quickly obtain customer contact information on the global internet, accurately search for potential customers, and fully support "going global" enterprises.
Huacheng Creative Intelligence has integrated commercial resources from 187 countries and regions around the world, with technology covering 508 mainstream search engines and 25 universal search engines. Platform users can easily and quickly locate corresponding markets based on their product grade, and proactively contact overseas customers, which is beneficial for gaining market initiative.
After opening a platform account, the first step to learn is how to correctly operate the platform and enable it to maximize customer acquisition. At the same time, it is also necessary to be familiar with and master the entire process of receiving foreign trade orders and the precautions to be taken in each step. Under the patient guidance of Dongang Technology's after-sales customer service, Mr. Mo is full of confidence in exploring the foreign trade market.
02. Maintain customer relationships and tap into market potential
Quickly, Mr. Mo found information about a Bangladeshi customer through Huacheng Chuangzhi and proactively contacted them. The customer placed a sample order for backpack fabric. Upon learning that Mr. Mo received his first sample order, Huacheng Chuangzhi after-sales actively informed us of the details that need to be paid attention to when sending samples and the follow-up matters in the future.
After sending out the samples, Mr. Mo proactively contacted the customer and maintained close contact with them. The customer is very satisfied with the quality of the sample. So, after less than two months of cooperation with Dongang Technology, Mr. Mo successfully received an official order from this Bangladeshi customer, amounting to 238000 US dollars. For the first time placing an order, his joy was evident and he had greater confidence in expanding the international trade market.
Long term stable customers often bring sustained and stable benefits. By carefully maintaining new customers, it is possible to develop long-term cooperative customers, and even bring you new customers. Mr. Mo followed the after-sales guidance of Global Express and continued to maintain contact with this Bangladeshi customer, successfully establishing a long-term cooperative relationship with him. In the first year of cooperation, the first customer alone brought Mr. Mo's company a revenue of 740000 US dollars.
After seeing the huge demand for textiles, nylon fabrics, and Oxford fabrics in the Bengal market, he continued to tap into the potential of the Bengal market through Global Express and developed other customers. The first Bangladeshi client we collaborated with introduced a new client to Mr. Mo.
In addition to receiving orders from Bangladesh, he also developed customers from other countries with the help of Global Express, receiving about ten orders of all sizes, thus successfully opening up the international trade market.
As Mr. Mo only works part-time in foreign trade and is usually busy managing the domestic market, he can only spare some time to develop foreign trade business. He expressed great satisfaction with achieving such export sales results.
Based on years of experience in the foreign trade industry, Huacheng Chuangzhi utilizes big data analysis technology and AI technology to seize user needs and pain points, continuously innovate and iterate products and services, help domestic small and medium-sized enterprises achieve their "dream of going abroad", and help "Made in China" go global.
