You'll have to be creative and do some research
Mh first step would be locating a competitor
And find who is the manufacturer and track them
Who is the distributor and track them
And then just benchmarking that into finding opportunities
This path isn't something you'd want to hire a fiverr consultant for, this path is a bit specialized into logistics if you want to grow it
Actually you should go into another subreddit
I work in an industry where there’s huge scope for customer packaging. Ideally, you will have to identify manufacturers and the biggest buyers of these manufacturers. So, what you do is start creating lists of manufacturers from different countries. It would also make sense to look at countries which are allies of China. And if there’s a language barrier, it makes senses to hire somebody for your communication. So, basically, you make a cold introduction, saying this is what you do. Explain why it would make sense to import the custom packing from China (cost benefit) instead of doing it locally from their respective country. That’s one of way looking at it. Another way is to explore possibilities within China itself. Make lists of companies importing products from China, and start reaching out to them with a cold introduction, similar to the previous point.
I've started looking for such companies in my country, what I'm clueless at is how to identify buyers of manufacturers. Pitching and securing the deal comes later, I need to first learn how to locate these companies in the first place.
Also about the ally thing: I did not consider that AT ALL, thanks!
