Then it's time to find suppliers. You can participate in various international household goods and glass products exhibitions to get to know some high-quality foreign crystal glass manufacturers, communicate with them directly face to face, and understand their products and cooperation intentions.

In terms of sales promotion, you should first do a good job in market research, understand the preferences of local consumers for crystal glasses, such as styles, capacities, etc. You can start by distributing products in some high-end home furnishing stores and gift shops.
