A brand's first year in Manila

Market Test, Consignment, Company Setup, Call Center — in their first year in the Philippines, most Taiwanese brands run into these four things, roughly in this order. We turned them into four services, each with a published price. Take one chapter, or go all the way.

Three questions people ask before choosing

Other questions?

Not sure? Start with Market Test

If you have never exported, or exported without gaining a foothold, start with Market Test. If you already have Philippine channels and know you want a company, talk to us about Company Setup directly. If you only need customer service, talk to us about Call Center. Not sure? We will look at it with you in our first conversation; sometimes we suggest you wait — that is an answer too.

A fixed price per chapter; a range in our first conversation

The numbers: Market Test NT$10,000–20,000 (pilot price for the first 10 brands); Consignment package NT$50,000–60,000. Together they make the NT$70,000 starter package, with the Market Test fee credited toward the Consignment package. Company Setup is quoted per project and Call Center comes with a range — both given in our first conversation. Honestly: we won't quote before we understand what you need. At our first meeting we want to hear how your product sells in Taiwan and why you want to expand overseas.

Four things, one contract, through your first year

Consultants write reports, traders buy and sell, freight forwarders move goods. We do four things under one contract and walk with you through the first year. Our founder comes from Jumping Freight, backed by 43 years of international logistics experience, so your goods won't get stuck at sea. We are not a trading company, and not a forwarder that just takes orders.

How we work with you

You sign one contract with LUFÉ in Taiwan and keep one point of contact from the first assessment to the last chapter. Each chapter is priced separately, with prices published on this site, and you can stop after any chapter. Shipping and customs clearance are handled by Jumping Freight.
