Before booking the route
Send the room list, drawings, product references, destination, budget level, visit dates, and the decisions you need to make in China. We separate must-decide items from products that can be reviewed remotely after the trip.
Buyer-side visit planning
A three-day or five-day route should be built around decisions.
Lecong and the wider Foshan supply area contain far more showrooms and factories than one trip can cover. The goal is not to collect the most photos or business cards. It is to leave with a controlled shortlist, comparable product information, clearly recorded open questions, and an agreed next step for samples, drawings, quotations, or supplier checks.
Choose a three-day or five-day plan
A short route should focus on the highest-value decisions and pre-qualified suppliers. A longer route can add factory visits, material comparisons, samples, second-round checks, and time to revisit the strongest options.
Sequence markets, showrooms, and factories
Stops are grouped by category, location, appointment status, and decision dependency. Custom cabinetry, doors, windows, stone, or technical products may need a different route from loose furniture and soft furnishings.
Pre-screen before the buyer arrives
We confirm whether a supplier can address the required category, budget level, export packing, schedule, drawing support, and destination questions before using limited visit time.
Record comparable information at every stop
Each shortlisted option should retain model, dimensions, material, finish, hardware, quoted scope, lead time, packing basis, open questions, and photo references. A verbal showroom price is not a comparable quotation.
Keep samples and approvals controlled
Physical samples, finish codes, marked photographs, drawing revisions, and supplier promises need stable labels. Reference images remain separate from approved selections so the post-visit team knows what was actually decided.
Finish with one next gate
After the visit, consolidate the shortlist and decide whether the next action is a technical quotation, shop drawing, sample confirmation, supplier verification, or stopping an unsuitable route. Do not pay deposits merely because the trip is ending.
Use visit time only for stops that match the rooms, budget, quality level, and decisions in the brief.
Record model, specification, finish, quote basis, packing, and open questions instead of relying on showroom photos.
Decide whether the next action is a quotation, drawing, sample, supplier check, or stopping an unsuitable option.
