First of all, you need to do market research to understand the demand for wall lamps in the international market, such as the styles, sizes, and materials preferred in different regions, and analyze the situation of competitors. Secondly, look for reliable wall lamp suppliers, like Zhongshitong that can provide a stable supply of goods, high-quality products, and reasonable prices. After that, handle the relevant qualifications and procedures, such as the right to engage in import and export operations, product quality certifications, etc. Meanwhile, build sales channels. You can expand customers through online e-commerce platforms, participating in international lighting exhibitions, etc. During the operation, focus on customer service, handle after-sales problems in a timely manner, and establish a good reputation. Also, pay attention to exchange rate fluctuations and reasonably avoid exchange rate risks to ensure the profit margin.
