Chinese New Year is Almost Here!

Chinese New Year is upon us once more! To the Chinese this is a time for family and a fresh start, but for many business owners Chinese New Year can pose a bit of a problem. In China, many people take weeks off work to celebrate Chinese New Year, meaning factories and businesses often shut down for up to 6 weeks! CNY begins on January 31st this year and don’t worry – we’ve got all the repair parts you need right here!   LA_ChineseNewYear  

History of Chinese New Year

  Legend has it that long, long ago, Buddha asked all the animals to meet him on Chinese New Year. Twelve animals came so Buddha named a year after each one, and announced that the people born in each animal’s year would have some of that animal’s personality traits. 2014 is the Year of the Horse and it is believed that those born in horse years are cheerful, energetic, witty, and good with their hands…sounds like a repair technician to us!  

Preparing for Chinese New Year

  Can you imagine trying to accurately predict what’s going to sell months down the road? For some that’s no problem, but factor in your supplier shutting down for almost a month and you might see where things can get very complicated, very quickly. eTech Parts has fought through many a CNY before and we’ve learned a lot about how to manage business and inventory during this difficult time. We're basically the pros at this. That’s why we plan extensively and stock up on parts months ahead so you don’t have to!   Ryan, our Procurement Manager, has taken on stocking-up for CNY with no hesitation or apology. “We started preparing for CNY the week before Thanksgiving and we essentially doubled our normal purchasing budget over the last 4 months. This is more inventory than has even been inside eTech Parts! Instead of panicking over out-of-stock parts during CNY, our customers can rest easy knowing eTech Parts is here as their one-stop shop.”   photo copy   When we get 48 boxes delivered to the receiving department Linda might blame it on Ryan, but we know we’ll ALL be thankful for this massive amount of stock once CNY hits. Anyone needing repair parts during Chinese New Year will be thankful, too! You can count on eTech Parts to have stock and inventory throughout Chinese New Year, but have you done any CNY preparation for your business yet?
