Chinese manufacturer logo - surfing babies what?! - are you kidding me??
I just got an email in our inbox today. We get spammed about 5x a day from different manufacturers in China trying to get us to sell THEIR LED products. This one was particularly funny since it DID get my attention, but not in a good way, with their attached logo of a chinese baby “catching a wave”. (I can’t make this stuff up people)
The emails generally consist of a Dear sir/madam - followed by extremely broken English, with an attached pricelist asking us to consider them to be our manufacturer.
Here’s an excerpt:
“Dear Sir,
This is Vickey who come from Shenzhen *** ,LTD .I am kindly know you are in the market of LED lights.I would like to indroduce our comapny and products to you ,Hope to we could build business relatioship in 2009.”
I left the spelling errors in there on purpose. Do they REALLY expect us to buy their products, if the first sentence in their email is plagued with grammatical and spelling errors?
There are literally hundreds of new manufacturers in China trying to jump on the LED bandwagon, and make LED light bulbs. The question is what % of them are complete garbage?. We’ve taken the time to contact a number of manufacturers and tested their products thoroughly, before deciding on who to go with which is why we can offer a 2 year warranty and 30 day guarantee.
Once again, buyer beware - there’s a ton of new websites cropping up selling LED lights, at LOW prices. Their manufacturer can very well be the one who can’t even hire someone who speaks english, or uses surfing chinese babies in their logo…would you spend $40-$100 with them?
Anyone else seen some questionable websites? We’ll be happy to scope them out and give you the lowdown.
Even I am one of Chinese suppliers who used to write the similar mails to customer, but really admit that it is a really interesting case for chinse supplier to explore the market always the same method.
But for a salesman, to send the mail is the economy method,as usually the explore method not decided by sales, but by boss.
The boss always think how to save the cost but get the most benifit.We know it is the most efficincy in exhabition. but boss will consider the cost on it.
As a salesman,I must try my best to find customers,even we have participated in many professional Lighting Fair,I still send mail to different customers on internet.
BTW,it seems that there will be more Chinese suppliers send mail to you??
Hi Oscar. Thanks for stopping by our blog. It’s tough and I can understand where you’re coming from . We are getting almost 10 of these emails a day now.
Hi,it’s really a shame to see the picture and comments.I totally understand where the editor was coming from.However,market competition is extremely strong and most customers always ask for excellent quality and cheap price,so factories would have to do everything they can to bring down costings.Everything has its value,customers cannot always expect a cheap but quality product.It’s quite hard for a foreign customer to understand what the factory is like and how their quality is.I am also selling led products to overseas market as a middle man easing communication and monitoring quality.I am now more aware that English and quality are very important in international trading.
