Before contacting a supplier, compare catalog options in a simple and organized way. This makes the first WhatsApp message clearer and helps the conversation move toward availability and shipping details faster.

Compare by category

Start with the category that matches your buying intent. Bags, shoes, clothes, watches, belts, and accessories often need different questions.

Compare by details

Look at size, color, material, style, packaging expectation, and whether the image shows enough information. If two items look similar, save both screenshots and label them clearly.

Continue with a clear message

Open the relevant catalog category, choose the closest direct album link, then send your selected screenshots or item links through WhatsApp.
