Search engines are one of the most important means of foreign buyers looking for vendors. International mainstream search engines include Google, Yahoo, Yandex, etc. Mainstream B2B platform (Alibaba, MIC, the Global Sources ) plays an advertisement on Google, which further explains the importance of search engines for buyers to look for vendors.
B2B Platform (Alibaba, Mic, Global Sourcees)
The B2B platform is a model for e-commerce. For overseas buyers, there is also a certain approval, so the B2B platform has also become the second channel of overseas buyers to find vendors; but the development of the international B2B platform shows a fast decline trend, this also explains why the European and American developed countries have no more well-known B2B platforms.

Social Media
International social media mainly include Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube, Pinterest, etc. Among them, Facebook has steadily accounts for the dominant status of social media, with more than 150 million users, the market share exceeds 18%, so it is also one of the common promotion methods for international trade industries.
Foreign Trade Exhibition
Compared with the above three ways, the exhibition is more traditional, but it is also the most direct way of promotion. With the advent of the Internet era, the way of offline promotion has gradually declined, and some disadvantages of the exhibition have gradually been exposed. In addition, due to the special geographical restrictions of buyers and sellers in the foreign trade industry, online promotion has gradually occupied the dominant position of customer development.
Wholesale Market
There are all kinds of wholesale markets all over China, such as Guangzhou, Hangzhou, Quanzhou and other cities. The wholesale market has a complete range of activewear and a large number, and the shopkeepers of those wholesale markets are basically vendors. It is easiest to find a wholesale market. The same activewear are generally concentrated together.
Manufacturer
Manufacturers directly produce products and are the best vendors for all businesses. As long as the manufacturer does not stop production, the supply chain will not be broken. However, it needs some courage and strength to cooperate with manufacturers. After all, small sellers can’t consume the products produced by manufacturers. If you have this strength, you might as well try it.
Big Seller
Big sellers generally have their own supply channels. At the same time, they also need someone to help him sell activewear and increase sales channels. Therefore, if you have certain store conditions and foundation, you can also directly negotiate and cooperate with the big sellers you are optimistic about, and put the activewear of their stores in your own store for sale. The activewear will be supplied by the big sellers.
To some extent, search engines such as Google, Bing and yandex play the role of traffic makers and attract the visits of Internet users all over the world; The B2B platform diverts and wholesales part of the traffic from the search engine through optimization or paid advertising, and then resells it to B2B charging users.
How To Find Low-Cost Sources?
In any way and channel to find the source of activewear, the lowest price method must be to contact the manufacturer. After all, the manufacturer is the first-hand source of activewear, and the price must be the lowest. If you take the activewear from other vendors, you don’t know whether it is a first-hand source or a second-hand source, and what is the guaranteed price? Therefore, if you have this opportunity and ability, signing an agreement with the manufacturer to get the activewear must be the best choice.
The second is to find low-cost sources through comparison. For example, if you want to get activewear in 1688 market. Not only the integrity and reliability of vendors should be considered. At the same time, in order to reduce the purchase price. It is suggested that you can compare the price provided by the vendor with the lowest price on Taobao. If it is too high, then the price must be inappropriate. If it is low and the vendor’s reputation is good, you can make money. So this low-cost source has been found.
Of course, you can also compare the supply of multiple platforms. After all, the price provided by each platform is different. Of course, we can’t just look at the price. It’s best to get samples and compare the price. This is a real source of low-cost activewear. But if you just blindly pursue low price without paying attention to quality, the business will not last long.
