I need help with my search, do you have any tips?

Search tips

1. Keep it broad

• Instead of searching "hula hoop manufacturer" search for "plastic" "injected mold" or "rubber"
• Instead of "children's tunic" or "baby bonnet" search for "apparel manufacturer" "cut and sew" "children's wear"

2. Break it down

• Search single words: "pattern", "activewear", "leather", "handbag"
• Search the material your product is made of, such as "metal", "plastic", "cotton", "aluminum"

3. Consider looking beyond your city

• There are great factories across the nation, it may be worth working with an out-of-state factory if it is a better fit.
