@nearshorefactories: Brands that walk in prepared get better information, faster quotes, and a partner who takes them seriously from day one. Your first sit-down with a manufacturer isn't a negotiation. It’s a fit check. To figure out if they are actually worth building with, make sure you ask these 7 questions: 1. Specific experience: Do they have a track record making your exact product, not just the general category? 2. True availability: Turnaround time is one thing. What does their actual production schedule look like right now? 3. The real MOQs: What are the minimums broken down by style, colorway, and size run? 4. In-house support: Do they have their own technical or design teams, or are you carrying that load? 5. The sampling sequence: What are the exact steps, costs, and timelines to get a first sample? 6. Revision speed: The first sample is rarely perfect. How fast is their correction loop? 7. Quality assurance: Can you review a top-of-line sample—in person or via detailed video—before full production starts? 🔖 Bookmark this checklist before your next factory meeting.
