Where can I find a supplier of goods

It’s difficult to find high-quality employees, but even harder to find stable partners, because you cannot do business with anyone.

Instruction manual

1

Markets and public stores.

The search for suppliers of goods in the markets has many advantages. Firstly, you can yourself inspect the quality of the products offered and see its real value for buyers, and secondly, the most important plus is the ability to immediately discuss all the nuances of cooperation.

2

Exhibitions.

Networks of exhibition centers regularly hold exhibitions on various topics and industries. At the stands you can learn more about the products on offer, as well as arrange for future meetings.

3

Web search.

You can try to find suppliers through the Internet. However, the first positions in most search queries are the largest companies that are already established in the market and are hardly interested in additional cooperation. But small suppliers may not have their own website.

4

Message Boards.

If the search on the Internet is not successful, then the bulletin board will be a way out of the situation, where you can either post a search advertisement yourself or view the ones already published. The most popular bulletin boards are Slando and Avito.

5

Contact database purchase.

If you have extra money, you can try to get a database of contacts from hand. This method is good because for relatively little money you get a well-developed base where suppliers are already prepared for cooperation or even long for it. But you should beware of scammers selling databases of outdated numbers or providing contacts of non-executives.

6

Electronic database of contacts.

Scrolling through piles of papers with names, addresses, and phone numbers is very expensive. It is much more convenient to have an electronic database of supplier contacts. Such data can be found by downloading, for example, the 2gis program.

7

Business forums and exchange of experience.

By visiting the forums of entrepreneurs, you can find not only reliable suppliers, but also find out a bunch of useful information about the features of your business.
