SEA should not be treated as one regional strategy

Factory-side buyers
Often prioritize lead time, price, and supply reliability, with higher sensitivity to response speed.
Channel-led buyers
Need clearer messaging around margins, assortment, and follow-on support.
Trust building
Small trial orders, fast samples, and quick messaging often outperform long corporate pages.
