Buyers are always sourcing
Brands add suppliers for new ranges, cost pressure and tariff shifts. Timing wins the order.
For garment & textile exporters
Reach the brands that need a new factory.
We find apparel brands and importers that are actively sourcing, then put your factory in front of their buying teams.

SubjectA second factory for your fall range?
Saw you are launching a recycled-poly line. We knit performance fabrics for EU labels, MOQ from 500 pieces, 45-day lead time. Worth sending a sample pack?

Why it works for garment exporters.
Trade shows are expensive
One booth costs more than months of outbound, and buyers only see you for a few days.
Agents take a cut
Talk to the sourcing team directly and keep both the margin and the relationship.

FAQ
Questions we hear first.
Which countries can you target?
Wherever your buyers are, commonly the US, UK, EU and Australia. Each region gets its own campaign, copy and send times.
We already do trade shows. Why add cold email?
Cold email runs all year for less than one booth. Many exporters use it to book meetings before a show and follow up after.
What do you need from us?
Your catalogue, certifications and photos of your best work. We turn them into short proof points and a sample offer.
