Importers
Focused starter lines
Start with one product family and a clear buyer type before expanding into more categories, finishes, and packaging variations.
Importers and wholesalers
Build a tighter product line before building a giant catalogue.
Aglaia helps trade buyers narrow product families, review samples, plan packaging, and prepare private-label quote requests without turning the first order into an oversized catalogue.

Repeatable product choices
Prioritize products that can support consistent finish preference, carton notes, spare-part questions, and clear product information.
Private label
Packaging before scale
Logo placement, carton marks, inserts, labels, and marketplace packaging should be discussed before a product is treated as ready for a larger order.
Product line planning
A smaller line is easier to sample, sell, and improve.
Trade buyers often ask for too many categories too early. That makes samples, packaging, product photos, dimensions, and quote details harder to control.
A focused line can still cover different buyer tastes. The key is to keep the first selection narrow enough to review finish, shade, carton, product page needs, and reorder potential.
Choose a product family
Table lamps, wall lights, pendants, floor lamps, and chandeliers each need different samples, packaging, and product-page details.
Set a style preference
Contemporary, transitional, classic traditional, Scandinavian, and minimalist lines should not be mixed randomly in the first shortlist.
Review finish consistency
Brass, black, white, chrome, wood, glass, fabric, ceramic, and clear finishes should be reviewed as a sellable group.
Plan product information
Dimensions, material notes, switch details, cord position, shade size, carton notes, and photo angles help online and offline buyers compare products.
Discuss packaging early
Private-label packaging, carton marks, insert cards, fragile-part handling, and marketplace packaging can change the next step.
Use samples before scale
Samples help review finish, shade, glass, stability, wiring direction, packing, and listing photos before larger orders.

Next step
Keep trade orders separate from simple product purchases.
Individual purchase links can support simple product orders later. Trade and private-label work usually needs quote review because packaging, quantity, samples, and market details matter.
Use a quote request for product-line planning.
Best for importers, wholesalers, private-label packaging, samples, repeat orders, and category expansion.
Send trade detailsUse product pages for first selection.
Browse products by category, style, and colour before deciding which line is worth sampling or quoting.
Browse productsGood fit / not a fit
Trade sourcing works best when the first line has focus.
Good fit
- You want a focused product family before requesting price.
- You need samples, packaging, or product page details reviewed.
- You are building a private-label or regional importer line.
- You want to compare category, style, finish, and buyer fit.
Not the right fit yet
- You need instant checkout for a simple product only.
- You want a very large catalogue before choosing a clear category.
- You need confirmed certificates before product review.
- You want a protected product design supplied without meaningful changes.
Trade FAQ
Short answers before planning a private-label line.
What should an importer send first?
Send the target market, product family, quantity range, style preference, finish preference, packaging needs, and any reference products you want to compare.
Should a private-label buyer start with many categories?
Usually no. A focused table lamp, wall light, pendant, floor lamp, or chandelier line is easier to sample, photograph, pack, and repeat than a broad catalogue.
Can single-product purchase links be used for trade orders?
Use purchase links only for simple products when terms are clear. Trade, private-label, sample, packaging, and quantity orders should start with a quote request.
