SAMPLE DEVELOPING
Most of the time you choose your products from our general catalogs. But sometimes you want that we develop some sample based on your drawings, forwarded photo, or personal idea. Other companies ask up to 4 times the regular price to develop samples. Wedon't. Just the regular price (in the "1 unit" column on the price lists). Time is other factor: sampling new models can take up to 4 weeks (normally 2 weeks). Please plan with enough time in hands.
The process start when you choose your sample "group". Maybe 5 to 20 units, pieces, sweaters, scarves or similar product. Then we put them on a special "internet catalog" where we (you and us) can comment about every model and adjust colors, yarns, and do specific comments. Then you pay for your samples, we manufacture, and we ship them to your door. You look at them, check them, and maybe you will find that it is needed to adjust something here or something there (97% of our customers never have ask any adjustment to the samples we send, but it can happen once in a while). Then you "test" your "target market" with this "sample set" and then you find what the market wants. Then you put an order just with the models that you think will be "hot sale" items. Most of the time when sample orders are around 20 pieces the first initial order is focused on 5 models of those 20. The top 5 models that are the best hot sellers. But yourmileages can vary! A lot! This is just a very simple approach.
