I am a wholesaler for brand name clothes such as Von Dutch ,Evisu , A&F, Diesel .etc. Could you pls share some tips here . Thanks .

Advertising would be an obvious one. Especially in trade publications.
A website I suppose..... , to be honest the Q is a bit too wide , could do with a touch more detail. Surely if your a wholesaler of these products you should have some ideas already.
Are these genuine clothes by any chance?!

I do have a website as follows :

www.china-tiger.fuzing.com

I received a lot of inquiries every day but few of them became real clients finally . It doesnot follow my products are not high quality here . Actually my products are high quality and authentic but it seems that many of so called clients are just doing price research here . But some of my clients once they order from me , they will establish a long term business relationship .So I am puzzled here on how to gain more clients through internet .

Any one could help here ? Greatly appreciated !

Well if the case is that (to quote yourself)

"received a lot of inquiries every day but few of them became real clients finally"

You are maybe doing something wrong once you actually make contact with clients rather than trying to find new ones - make em' a coffee first, usually works for me!

Have you considered adding some feedback from your existing client base? How pleased they are with your service, how efficient, fast and friendly they found their orders dealt with? Perhaps some comments on meeting deadlines, shipping orders etc… (which may be a concern for some foreign businesses).

I don’t want to sound critical so apologies in advance if my comments sound that way – but the design and layout wasn’t very ‘inviting’. Having category listings is fine and if you have a lot of stock to display, showing the quantity of the items available also fine…. But your site shows 1 or 2 items in the categories, which I found a little ‘off putting’ as it made me think ‘Mmm have they got much to offer… doesn’t seem to be much here”. Perhaps removing the number of items available from the categories might be a good idea – for now any way

Whilst typing this reply I revisited your site and clicked on the logo…. This took me to a different URL / list than the one you provided in your previous post – one without showing items numbered.

Final thought, I think everyone has ‘adverts’ on their site – but the one shown in your left hand margin is to big. All it did was distract me from ‘your’ services and ultimately ‘your’ sales…. Just makes me think ‘is this a serious trader’? (which I presume from your post you are… I’m just expressing the signal it sends – well to me anyway )

I found the site quite confusing.

There seems to be three different versions of it each with a different URL's?
None of them looked very professional and there wasn't really any information about the 'company' i'd be dealing with if i got in touch.

I also think an indication of the prices of the things your selling would help as I imagine most people wouldn't be bothered to fill in a form and wait for a response to find out the cost of an ashtray or similar!

Just my opinion of course

You mean "too big".

(A foreigner reading that would have difficulty in finding the verb "to big".)

Thanks for all the advice here . I will consider it and build a brandnew webiste soon . The happiest thing for me today is that I received a repeat order from a new client in UK .Cheers and thanks again .
