Sourcing & Support Package
You have a vision for your (start-up) business. You know what you want to make, but where and how do you start? How to find the right partners? How to plan your production timeline? How to present your ideas to your manufacturer? What do you need to discuss during meetings with your manufacturer? How to organize shipment if you are ordering from multiple suppliers? How to manage your production and quality (when you are not based in Bali)? And what if your manufacturer is slow (or not) responding to your messages when you are back in your country?
We have created the Sourcing & Support Package to give you as a brand owner all the information and support you need when doing production in Bali, while still letting you be in charge of your productions and build direct relationships with your production partners.
What is included?
-
Sourcing Tour
We will create a custom itinerary for your sourcing tour to introduce you to artisans and suppliers that we have curated to work on your project. During the day you will be accompanied by our driver and a guide from our team. Lunch, water and snacks are included. And after the tour you can start working with the artisans/suppliers directly.
If you do not have the chance to visit Bali at this time, we can do remote sourcing for you. We will introduce your project to curated manufacturers for your project, and provide you with a report with all the details about each manufacturer including their feedback/comments about your project.
-
Strategy Session
A one-hour deep dive with our co-founder Cecile. We will review your plans for production in detail and discuss the best strategy for your production planning, help you set-up the timeline, give consultation and advice based on our experience with production management. If you find it helpful we can review your brief before presenting it to the manufacturer to make sure it includes all necessary details. And of course you can ask questions.
-
E-book about production management
Over 40 pages (!) that describe everything we learned about production management over the last 10 years working with hundreds of brands and artisans/suppliers. And an in-depth explanation of our production management method that we use at The Bali Curator.
-
One Year Packing & Shipping Assistance
Let us know your packing list and ask your suppliers to send the products to our office, or let us know when they are ready so we can arrange pick-up. We will coordinate the packing and shipment for you. For shipments by air you can use our DHL account (that gives you over 50% discount on shipping fees compared to the published rates). For shipments by sea we will collaborate with our cargo partner.

Three Masterclasses
3 online masterclasses about the following topics:
How to become your manufacturer’s favorite client: your relationship with your manufacturer is everything if you are serious about building a sustainable business. In this Masterclass we explain how to build and maintain a good relationship with your manufacturer, even when you are not (yet) placing orders in big quantities.
Quality Control: Oh no, your sample was great, but the production result didn’t come out the same? In this Masterclass we explain everything you need to know in order to assure consistent quality throughout your orders. (Spoiler: avoiding is better than repairing, so we’ll cover some production management tips before starting to talk about Quality Control)
Building your brand: Great products won’t sell if your customers do not know them. How to make your business visible and attract customers (even before your products are ready)?
