Frequently asked questions
Common questions and answers about acquiring exclusive distribution rights for overseas brands and launching them in Japan.
About acquiring exclusive distribution rights
How do you obtain exclusive distribution rights?
We approach the brand holder directly, propose a sales plan for Japan, adjust the contract terms and scope of rights, and sign the contract. At Eifer, a dedicated team of native Chinese and English speakers handles the negotiation.
Can you win the rights when competing with major trading companies?
We have done so. For Omi, Eifer was chosen as the Japan partner from several candidates, including major trading companies.
Can you also handle sales after the rights are secured?
Yes. We handle localization, EC platform selection, crowdfunding and initial marketing.
About launching and selling in Japan
What are exclusive distribution rights for an overseas brand?
They are the right for your company alone to sell an overseas brand's products in Japan. The scope, such as term, territory and sales channels, is set in the contract with the brand holder.
Can we work with you if we have never handled an overseas brand?
Yes. In our case studies, NAISU and Ger tent were clients launching an overseas brand for the first time, and we handled everything from branding to sales on their behalf.
Which countries' brands do you support?
So far we have supported brands from the United States, China, Taiwan, Singapore, Israel, Mongolia and other countries.
At what stage can we contact you?
You can contact us while you are still sorting out requirements, even before you have chosen a product or category. We reply within three business days.
