How to Find Products and Suppliers on TradesFolks
Start with marketplace search when you know the product, category or supplier type you need. Use supplier and product information to build a shortlist before sending inquiries.
Search effectively
- Use specific product names instead of very broad keywords.
- Browse category pages when you need alternatives.
- Review supplier profiles and product details before contacting a business.
Evaluate the supplier
- Check company/location and verification information shown on the profile.
- Compare specifications, MOQ, delivery capability and commercial terms.
- Ask for documents relevant to your product and market where appropriate.
Move to an RFQ
- Post a buying requirement when price, quantity, custom specification or delivery terms need supplier quotation.
