Description
Sourcing products in Asia has great cost benefits but recently more and more concerns about quality have come to surface including: lead content, child safety concerns, switches in raw materials and components, moving orders to lesser developed countries for cost savings, competency of internal factory management, and errors in translation. In this session, we'll discuss how to overcome these sourcing challenges and hear from several multichannel merchants
who have done just that.
You'll learn:
- Testing protocols
- Sub factory guidelines
- Language tools
