Market Research for Seasoned Professionals One of the main advantages of outsourcing production to Vietnam is the lower cost of labor compared to other countries such as China and India. The average hourly wage for a worker in Vietnam is around $3, which makes it an attractive option for companies looking to reduce costs.
However, before deciding to produce in Vietnam, it is important to research the prices for your product. For example, the cost of producing software may differ from the cost of producing textiles. It is also important to consider additional costs such as transportation and taxes. Vietnam is not always the most cost effective.
We can work on your behalf to get price quotes from factories to know if Vietnam is competitive or not.
Factory Introductions Have you already decided to produce in Vietnam? Would you like to be introduced to three Vietnamese factories that can start production ASAP? We offer this factory introduction service.
The service goes like this: we schedule a 1 hour consultation, I listen your needs, I answer your questions and I give you advice. Then, I introduce you to at least three factories that I guarantee can make your product. I can't guarantee price, payment terms or delivery times. I give you their back story, name, website, email address and phone number. You then contact them directly. If you want me to do a direct introduction then I can. I only guarantee that the factory can make your product. I can not guarantee they will accept your quantity or meet our deadline.
During the call we will discuss:
- labour costs;
- North vs Center vs South of Vietnam;
- Vietnam vs China;
- logistic options;
- travel safety;
- legal considerations;
- tax advantages;
