Our Amazing Trip to China: From Factory Floors to the Canton Fair (PART 2)

Week 2: Deepening Connections and Embracing Culture

Thursday, April 18, 2024 - A Day with the Stash Box Jar Supplier

We started our second week by visiting our stash box jar supplier’s office. 

Brainstorming sessions here were incredibly fruitful, sparking ideas for new product designs and features.

We ended up at a karaoke-style club bar, and it was an absolute blast. Singing, laughing, and enjoying the nightlife together strengthened our bonds beyond the business realm.

 

Monday, April 22, 2024 - Brainstorming at the Stash Bag Office

 

We visited the Stash Bag office to brainstorm our upcoming new product launch. The creativity and innovation from the company’s previous projects were truly inspiring.

We left with a notebook full of ideas, excited about the future products we could offer our customers.

The Grand Finale: Canton Fair

 

Tuesday, April 23, 2024 - Discovering New Suppliers

 

The Canton Fair was another big highlight of our trip. 

 

We met with our new suppliers for our 1 oz StashJars and found the perfect partner for our new rolling tray, which will be included with our upcoming stash bag.

Meeting our grinder supplier was equally thrilling, and brainstorming future accessory ideas with them opened up a world of new possibilities for HashStash.

 

Wrapping Up Our Unforgettable Trip

 

Our two weeks in China were more than just a business trip; they were an incredible journey of cultural exchange, culinary adventures, and forging stronger partnerships. 

 

We returned home with a renewed sense of excitement and a clear vision for the future of HashStash. This trip solidified our commitment to delivering the best products to our customers and reinforced the strong relationships we’ve built with our partners.

 

We can’t wait to share the amazing new products we’ve been working on and are looking forward to our biggest Q4 yet! 

 

Every holiday season, you guys have made us sell out early, despite us maxing out our supplier’s order capacity every year!

We just placed the biggest order we’ve ever made for O.G. Stash Boxes to prepare for the 2024 holiday season…

P.S. I went back to the HashStash China trip squad and asked them what their personal favorite part of the trip was.

 

Here’s what we had to say…

 

CJ: 

“My favorite part was our suppliers being so welcoming and taking the time to show us around China. One supplier even gave me the opportunity to visit a landmark that my grandparents had visited years ago on their travels. I was able to replicate a photo of them that I’ve always seen growing up, which was incredibly cool!”

 

Mark:

“My favorite part was being able to see how they painted each box. It was dope going behind the scenes to see the color variations of stash boxes that haven’t even been released yet! It was fun building the relationships and meeting the people that helped make HashStash what it is today.”

 

Will:

“My favorite part of this trip was forging connections with our suppliers. It was invaluable to meet them face-to-face, discuss our mutual needs and visions, and spend quality time together. Additionally, I enjoyed every meal we had—there wasn’t a single one I didn’t like!”

 

Clara: 

“The people we met in China were incredibly kind and hospitable. Our suppliers have been helpful and understanding over the past three years, so it was exciting and reassuring to continue building our trust and aligning our visions in person. I also have to say, the shopping centers in Guangzhou were quite impressive! There were so many different restaurants and cute activities for all ages. I hope we can experience more of the local culture, tourist destinations, and various experiences the next time we are back!"
