A clear brief helps a supplier understand the furniture you need and the market you serve. It also makes it easier to identify the details that still need a decision.
1. Introduce your business
Explain whether you are an importer, wholesaler, store or ecommerce seller. Include your company website, destination country and the role the new products will play in your assortment.
2. Describe the product direction
Include the categories, reference images and key dimensions. Identify which details are essential and where you are open to suggestions. Share only designs and material you are entitled to use.
3. Include quantities and timing
Give approximate quantities by design, your preferred sample timing and the target schedule. Separate your desired timing from any dates already agreed with your customers.
4. Explain how you sell
A store-delivered item and a product sold online may have different information and handling needs. Discuss assembly, packaging and the images or product data required by your team.
5. List requirements early
Tell the supplier about your inspection process, documentation requirements and approval steps. Ask them to confirm what they can provide and what needs a separate arrangement.
Your first enquiry checklist
