The Most Unusual “Supplier Story” Starts With a Classroom In the home décor industry, you meet plenty of sellers. You meet plenty of factories.But you almost never meet a teacher. That’s the twist at the heart of Teruier’s new video IP plan. The main character of the series isn’t a
Designers don’t buy “containers.” Designers buy solutions for a project—a few pieces that land on time, arrive intact, and look consistent in the space. That’s why we often get this exact question from West Coast designers: “Do I need to fill a full crate to ship? What’s the minimum order
Teruier has completed a high-intensity style review week in Shenzhen and is now in the post-event phase that matters most: sample shipping and buyer approvals. For home décor—especially mirrors—buyers don’t move forward on “newness” alone. They move forward when suppliers can prove three things quickly: trend alignment, shelf-readiness, and reorder-safe
The show ends. The decision cycle starts. On the floor, buyers react to what they see.After the show, they decide what they can confidently launch. That’s why post-show sample shipping is not a logistics task—it’s a decision system. A well-designed sample shipment does three things: controls cost (ship decisions, not
A Soft Launch: Not a “Factory Tour,” But a New Kind of Buyer Shortcut In the cross-border home décor market, most brands fight on two loud battlegrounds: low price or viral-looking “hot items.” Teruier is choosing a third path—building a system where profits are predictable and controllable, not lucky. That’s
The question we kept hearing: “Is a full-length mirror actually a profit item?” On the floor, full-length mirrors look like obvious winners: big visual impact, strong styling value, and a clear role in entryways, bedrooms, and dressing areas. But buyers don’t ask “is it popular?”They ask a sharper question: Is
A training room is where “collaboration-ready” becomes real Trade events are usually about product: what’s new, what’s trending, what can sell. But the compliance session we sat in felt different. It wasn’t about inspiration—it was about proof. MEGA-led training carried weight for a simple reason: when guidance comes from a
A meeting photo tells you what this process really is The photo from today isn’t a staged booth shot. It’s a working table—notes open, laptops out, samples and documents in play, people from different backgrounds aligned on one thing: What’s worth putting on shelf next? That’s what a mirror category
What this mirror category review was really testing On the surface, it looks like a “new product” meeting. In reality, a mirror category style review is a stress test of three things: Trend accuracy — do you understand what’s moving now, not what was popular last season? Merchandising logic —
“Collaboration-ready” is the real entry ticket At a show, most conversations start with product: design, trend, finish, price. But inside a compliance session, the ordering flips. The strongest takeaway was this: Before a supplier is “good,” the supplier must be “workable.”And “workable” means a retailer can trust you under audit—today,
Social responsibility isn’t a slogan—it’s how trust gets approved In global retail sourcing, “social responsibility performance” isn’t a soft topic. It’s a gate. Before buyers talk about design, trend, or pricing, they want to know one thing: Can this supplier be audited, trusted, and scaled without risk? That’s why BSCI-style
Sampling isn’t a step—it’s the moment a program becomes real In home décor, everyone talks about trends. But the real work starts in sampling. Because sampling is where: costs quietly explode timelines get delayed expectations get misunderstood and “great ideas” either become reorder-ready SKUs… or die. That’s why smart teams
