Many manufacturing bosses in Changzhou want to expand foreign trade, but they generally encounter pitfalls:
The cost of building a self-built team is high, the B2B platform is cheap for incoming inquiries, the exhibition fee is expensive and the results are slow, the export agent charges high fees and loses contact on weekends, and the self-built website has no traffic and zero inquiries.
Many local factories have found Changzhou TPV Information, which covers foreign trade website building, multi-lingual Google SEO, AI overseas customer acquisition, social media customer development, and one-stop export agency full-link services.
Today, we compiled real cooperation feedback from 10 factories in different industries, all of which are local physical manufacturing companies in Changzhou, and used real data to talk about the effects of going overseas.
1. Start-up factory with zero foundation｜No knowledge of foreign trade, full custody of orders
Changzhou Nanxing quick freezing machinery | cold storage equipment | zero foreign trade basis
Before the cooperation, the factory had no foreign trade personnel and no overseas business at all.
TPV is equipped with a dedicated foreign trade manager to develop overseas buyers through overseas social media and industry groups; it connects with foreigners throughout the process and follows up on the entire order process. The factory is only responsible for production and delivery.
Half a year of cooperation: received more than 10 online factory visits from foreign businessmen, landed 2 stable foreign trade orders, and successfully went overseas with zero foreign trade experience.
Changzhou Yuan*Xin Intelligent Equipment｜Hot Press｜Only relies on foreign trade companies for distribution and has no independent customers
In 2025, the boss decided to do foreign trade independently, and was recommended by a friend to cooperate with an independent foreign trade station + AI-GEO intelligent promotion.
The core products of the whole site: heat press, veneer heat press, multi-layer heat press, and the entire production line are all recommended by Google and AI large models.
Realizing the transformation of foreign trade from 0 to stable customer acquisition, the independent station has a stable 10 + high-quality inquiries per month.
2. The original foreign trade encountered bottlenecks｜Traffic/orders increased significantly
Changzhou Huan*Xing Electronics｜Auto Parts｜The original foreign trade growth was weak
The factory originally carried out foreign trade independently, planned to add new production lines to expand exports, and chose local service provider TPV Information to upgrade its layout.
Foreign trade experts with 20 years of experience accompany the industry in overseas exhibition receptions; build independent marketing websites adapted to Google crawling to optimize overseas natural traffic.
A number of new foreign trade orders have been placed, and the overall foreign trade sales have increased by 50% year-on-year. We are pragmatic, reliable and responsible throughout the process.
Changzhou Aifu** Beauty Packaging｜Cosmetic Packaging Materials｜Long-term reliance on exhibitions + B2B platform
There are many salespeople, but the independent customer expansion channel is single, and the growth rate has reached a ceiling.
Cooperating with an independent foreign trade station + WhatsApp as an active customer acquisition tool, TPV goes to the factory every month to train all sales staff and teach them step by step how to operate the customer acquisition tool.
Independent station + Actively develop two-way traffic diversion, each salesperson steadily adds new orders, and the business increase is obvious.
3. Long-term benefits of multi-lingual independent websites｜Low-cost and stable inquiries, continuous renewal for many years of cooperation
Changzhou Si* Optoelectronics｜High temperature camera sensor｜Multi-lingual foreign trade station with 8 years of cooperation
Customized global foreign trade official website in 15 languages, with 8 years of continuous cooperation.
Compared with traditional B2B platforms, website maintenance costs are lower and the inquiry conversion rate is higher. Most of the company"s foreign trade orders come from this multi-lingual independent website every year, which is the core customer acquisition channel.
Jiangsu Zheng* Instruments | Experimental Instruments | Old domain name original website no inquiry
I have a high-quality old domain name for more than ten years. The old website has a messy structure and missing content. It is not indexed by Google and has almost zero consultation.
In 2020, it was rebuilt and optimized, with 10 minor languages and 800+ products on the shelves. The number of items included in Google exceeded 5,000.
Since its launch, there have been a stable 50 inquiries per month, and it has been renewed twice in a row, and has a long-term stable output of overseas customers.
Changzhou Long* Medical | High-end medical equipment | High-standard customized website construction
Recommended and cooperated by old customers, the medical industry has strict audits and extremely high requirements for website details. The team spent 3 months polishing and perfecting it.
Within 1 month of going online, all core product keywords were ranked 3-7 on the Google homepage, directly benchmarking the top peers in the United States and Japan.
We continue to receive inquiries and large orders from major industry customers; we will directly renew for another three years upon expiration of three years, and purchase an additional independent station for new products in 2026.
Advantages: The website building system is natively adapted to Google SEO and AI traffic recommendations, and the design and technical teams are professional and patient.
4. AI foreign trade intelligent customer acquisition｜Massive traffic, continuous large orders
Changzhou World Tent Event Tent｜Outdoor Tent｜AI Large Model Drainage
In October 2025, the entry-level version of the AI overseas recommendation service was first tested, with remarkable results. In April 2026, the standard version was renewed and upgraded.
The site has received more than 160,000 visitors in half a year, and has completed more than 20 foreign trade orders, with single amounts ranging from US$50,000 to US$500,000.
The workshop currently has orders in production and packaged for shipment, all of which come from overseas customers who come to the door through the official website through AI search engines.
Changzhou Heng* Medical Equipment｜Medical Equipment｜Previously, it only relied on offline exhibitions to gain customers
In the past, customer acquisition relied entirely on international exhibitions, with high customer acquisition costs and a single channel.
Mr. Wang of TPV demonstrated website keyword traffic, Google inclusion, and ranking data on-site. The online customer acquisition effect was clear and quantifiable, which impressed the company leaders to fully transform to online.
3 sets of independent product stations have been built successively, supporting Facebook/Instagram/TikTok operations and active customer development tools.
There are a stable 70+ valid inquiries every month, an average of more than ten large and small orders are completed every month, and the online channels are fully operational.
5. One-stop foreign trade export agency｜Significantly reduce customs clearance and tax refund costs, and respond online throughout the year
Xiang*City Harco (Changzhou) Building Materials | Building Materials Export | The original Shanghai agency cost is high and the after-sales service is out of touch
Previously, we cooperated with Shanghai foreign trade agents, charging a commission of 1% of annual sales; the export volume in 2025 is 20 million, and it is expected to reach 30 million in 2026. The agency fee is as high as 200,000-300,000, and the cost pressure is huge.
Find Changzhou TPV through AI platform recommendations and provide two sets of cooperation plans: full-process foreign trade teaching and year-round all-inclusive export agency.
Enterprises choose full-service agency services, covering the entire process of order acceptance review, document production, customs declaration follow-up, export tax refund, foreign exchange settlement, certificate of origin, and order archiving.
Charges are based on the order quantity. There are less than 50 orders in the whole year, and the total service fee is only 58,000 yuan, which directly significantly reduces export costs.
Comparing the pain points of foreign service providers: the Shanghai company is unable to process orders during weekends, and customers in Turkey and Europe do not respond promptly to time differences. TPV is equipped with a dedicated foreign trade accountant that is online all year round and can also connect business during holidays to solve the time difference communication problem.
Covering all mainstream manufacturing industries in Changzhou such as machinery, auto parts, optoelectronics, medical care, tents, building materials, instruments, and packaging, whether you want to start foreign trade with zero foundation, encounter obstacles in the original foreign trade increase, want to build your own independent station to get rid of platform involution, use AI to attract customers to get large orders, or want to replace high-priced export agents, we can match the corresponding landing solutions.
TPV Information has been deeply engaged in foreign trade services in local factories in Changzhou for many years. It does not build a one-time website. It runs the whole link from customer acquisition, inquiry conversion, order fulfillment to tax refund, and uses real order data to deliver results.
If you are also a factory owner in Changzhou and want to know the detailed plans for independent websites, AI overseas customer acquisition, and export agents, you are welcome to communicate via private message and customize the industry overseas plan for free.
