Top Ideal Sourcing Strategies for Household Businesses during the Pre-Tet Season
The period leading up to the Lunar New Year (Tet) is always considered the most important peak season of the year for household businesses. Shopping demand surges, consumer behavior becomes more diverse, and inventory turnover moves faster than at any other time. This sets a mandatory requirement for business owners to proactively select suitable, stable, and cost-optimized supply sources early on.
Exploring Traditional Goods and Regional Specialties: Cultural Essence in Every Product
Exploring Traditional Goods and Regional Specialties: Cultural Essence in Every Product
In the context of an increasingly diverse market, traditional goods and regional specialties still play a vital role, especially during the Lunar New Year. This is a group of products closely associated with the customs, culture, and the gifting and worshiping needs of Vietnamese people.
Household businesses can exploit this product group as a competitive advantage thanks to the stability of demand and the spiritual value that the products bring. Choosing the right suppliers at traditional craft villages and reputable production facilities will help ensure quality, clear origin, and the ability to supply on schedule.
Signature Tet Food and Beverages: Familiar Flavors Creating a Cozy Atmosphere
Tet food is always in the group of goods with the highest purchasing power at the end of the year. Products such as bánh chưng, bánh tét, Vietnamese sausages, Tet jams, dried seeds, traditional wines… not only serve the consumption needs within the family but are also popular choices for gifts.
For household businesses, choosing the source of Tet food needs to pay special attention to food hygiene and safety factors, expiration dates, and the ability to deliver on time. Cooperating with branded production facilities with full licenses will help minimize risks and enhance prestige when distributing to the market.
Handicrafts and Traditional Gifts: Sending Affection and Sophistication
Besides food, handicraft products and traditional Tet gifts always have their own place in consumers’ shopping baskets. Calligraphy paintings, parallel sentences, ceramics, feng shui items, hand-embroidered products… are items with high aesthetic value and spiritual meaning.
Household businesses should prioritize working directly with production workshops, artisans, or craft villages to ensure quality and the ability to customize designs according to market needs. Investing in the product story and origin will help increase sales value during Tet.
Imported Goods from China: Diverse, Competitive Prices, Easy to Catch Trends
For many years, imported goods from China have always been a popular choice for Vietnamese household businesses thanks to advantages in design, price, and the ability to update trends quickly.
Items such as fashion, accessories, household appliances, Tet decorations, children’s toys… have a very large supply from China, suitable for mass consumption needs at the end of the year. However, to ensure business efficiency, importers need to focus on choosing appropriate import methods and professional logistics units to limit the risk of delayed goods, incurred costs, or legal issues.
Major Wholesale E-commerce Platforms: Taobao, Tmall, 1688
Major Wholesale E-commerce Platforms: Taobao, Tmall, 1688
Chinese e-commerce platforms like Taobao, Tmall, and 1688 are popular sourcing channels for household businesses. Among them, 1688 is highly appreciated for focusing on wholesale customers, direct prices from factories, and abundant supply.
The advantage of this channel is the ease of price comparison, diverse products, and flexible import quantities. However, barriers in language, payment, and international shipping require business owners to have experience or use full-service China import support.
Seeking Direct Manufacturers in Guangzhou, Shenzhen
For household businesses with a large scale or high volume needs, working directly with factories in Guangzhou and Shenzhen helps optimize import prices and control quality better.
This form is suitable for people who already have import experience, understand the logistics process, and have a long-term business plan. In case there is no legal entity or team to handle procedures, businesses should combine with specialized China-Vietnam logistics units to ensure progress and the legality of the shipment.
Exploiting Wholesale Markets and Major Domestic Wholesale Distributors
Exploiting Wholesale Markets and Major Domestic Wholesale Distributors
Wholesale markets and major domestic wholesale distributors are still effective sourcing channels in the pre-Tet period thanks to the advantages of quick pickup, direct inspection, and flexible quantities.
Large markets such as Dong Xuan, Ninh Hiep, An Dong, Binh Tay… provide a variety of items serving the Tet season. Although prices may be higher than direct imports, in return is the speed and ability to rotate capital quickly – a very important factor in the peak season.
Advantages of Sourcing at Wholesale Markets
Sourcing at wholesale markets helps household businesses shorten preparation time, limit the risk of delayed goods, and easily adjust product catalogs according to market fluctuations. This is a suitable solution for units that need to replenish goods urgently or test new products before importing in large quantities.
Cooperating with Wholesale Distributors and Agents
Building long-term relationships with wholesale distributors helps household businesses stabilize supply, enjoy good price policies, and receive support with market information. This is a suitable choice for branded items or those requiring clear documentation.
Searching for Unique, Handmade, and Sustainable Sourcing
Current consumption trends are shifting strongly toward sustainable, environmentally friendly, and personalized products. Exploiting this product group helps businesses create differentiation and reach customer segments with higher payment levels.
Market Research and Smart Sourcing Strategy Selection
To business effectively during the pre-Tet period, household businesses need to combine many different sourcing origins, allocate risks reasonably, and proactively plan early imports. Monitoring consumer trends, sales data, and market fluctuations will help optimize sourcing decisions and limit inventory after Tet.
