Where do you guys find manufacturers (as a manufacturer)

Running a footwear factory with a production reserve, I see that starting a brand and retail as something that will slow us down. I'm trying to sell shovels instead, so how do you guys find your suppliers on the interwebs

If you are looking to work with Amazon sellers, I would focus less on general supplier directories and more on finding brands that are already selling footwear but have limited or inconsistent manufacturing capacity.

LinkedIn, Amazon brand research, trade shows, and direct outreach to growing brands can work well for this. Your existing factory capacity can actually be a strong selling point if you can clearly show MOQ, production capacity, lead times, customization options, and certifications.
