Three years ago, I discovered a gap in the educational toy market. I made the leap and decided to execute my idea. The first thing I needed was a prototype. The only way to get a prototype for your product is to find a manufacturer. Here are some easy tips to securing a good manufacturer:

1. Google – In my opinion, this is the easiest and best way to get access to a variety of manufacturers from all over the world. I found my China manufacturer on Google. I simply typed in ‘China printer’ and tons of websites pop up. Troll through the suggestions and narrow down your choices by choosing some that match your needs.

2. Alibaba – An excellent resource for all kinds of products made in China. I used Alibaba to show my manufacturers samples of what I had in mind. It is great because the companies on Alibaba provide rough price guidelines and minimum orders.

3. Talk to other entrepreneurs – This is so important. I have recommended my overseas printer to so many other entrepreneurs. It is so helpful to get a recommendation.

4. Get 3 quotes – Never go with your first quote from one manufacturer. You should always get at least three quotes, so you need to find three manufacturers that could produce your product. Do not always take the cheapest quote. Do your research, get samples of their work before you make a decision.

5. CPSA standards – Make sure the manufacturer understands the strict Consumer Product Safety Act (CPSA). This is crucial if you are going to produce a product for children under 12. There are very strict guidelines for lead & phthalate levels in children’s toys. The manufacturer must be able to prove, with lab reports, they can meet the CPSA requirements.

6. Check references – Always ask a manufacturer for references and always call them all. You will need to ask specific questions and go on a fact-finding mission. You need to determine the manufacturer is the right one for your job.

7. Start with a small run – You will want to do a test run of 500 -1000. Promise your manufacturer you will work hard to get your volumes up very quickly!
