How will the Chinese New Year Holidays affect businesses?
Chinese New Year (CNY), also known as the spring festival, is one of most important and celebrated holidays in China. It is a rare opportunity for the Chinese workers to return to their hometowns and gather with their families for reunion dinner. During this long holiday, most of the businesses in China and Hong Kong will be closed.
Just like previous years, the operations in our factories will be halted during this holiday period. This means that production will be delayed. In addition to that, factories will take a longer time getting back with replies on orders thus quotation requests will be processed at a slower rate.
Due to all these delays, we would highly suggest that you mark out these dates on your calendar and plan your projects around these dates. It will also be good to place an order earlier in order to avoid such production delays. By planning ahead, you will be able to minimize the number of problems you might face when factories are forced to rush out your orders.
