The China-Pakistan import market is shifting and if you’re bringing in goods in bulk, the way you source, purchase, and ship is changing whether you’re paying attention or not. The importers who are winning right now aren’t necessarily the ones spending the most. They are the ones who’ve picked up on what’s different this year […]
Pakistan’s online shopping scene has changed a lot in the last couple of years. More people are buying on Daraz, scrolling Facebook shops, and ordering through Instagram pages than ever before.
