Should I Register My Trademark In China? | Ep. 018

As a business owner, I often wish someone had given a crystal ball years ago saying,

"If only I had known this at the beginning, it would have saved me a fortune."

Well, I'm going to save you that fortune now.

In my client training, I share so many case studies where I go into detail about real situations that have happened to me, to friends of mine, cases we're defending, etc.

This is a real, first-hand experience. It's cost us tens of thousands of dollars.

And the reality is I could have stopped it all.

I could have prevented it all if I had spent a couple of hundred dollars on registering my trademark certificate in China.

And that's what I want you to do.

In this episode, you'll discover:

The 3 main cases when registering your trademark in China is necessary
The nightmare scenario you don't want happening to your brand online
The easy way and the hard way to defend your brand and trademark in China
International IP - is it valid in China?
And more

He Was Forced To Go To China To Save His Business But Now He's Launching His Own Brand | Ep. 020

I recently had the pleasure of interviewing one of our clients, Robert. His company sells designer lighting in South Africa.

Robert's company was the sole agent for an international lighting brand. They sold it successfully for over 10 years until the principal suddenly decided to drop them.

This left Robert in a predicament. A large part of his business was now gone and they had to make some changes fast.

After a mutual friend introduced us and we had a long chat about his options, Robert decided to take a trip to China.

Nearly 2 years after that first "expedition" to China, I sat down with Robert to talk about his journey into sourcing from China, what his experience was like, and his plans for the future of his brand.

In this podcast, you'll discover:

The power of building a brand in China
The challenges you'll face sourcing products and customizing them with Chinese manufacturers
The recipe for success: what it takes from you that many business owners ignore
The reality of the journey vs. your expectations
And much more!

If you're short on time or can't listen to the interview, I've had it transcribed for you.
