How does the minimum guarantee of 2 inquiries per month work?

2 inquiries per month

At Hula Global, we understand that factories want clarity and predictability when they invest in onboarding. That’s why we offer a minimum inquiry guarantee to ensure that every eligible factory receives consistent opportunities.

Our commitment is simple: you will receive at least 2 inquiries per month, or 6 inquiries per quarter. The key word here is “at least.” This is the minimum number of inquiries you can expect once you are successfully onboarded and active on the platform.

What does this actually mean in practical terms?

It means that even if market conditions fluctuate, buyer activity slows down, or your factory is still building its profile visibility, we ensure that you receive no fewer than two genuine business inquiries every month. Over a three-month period, that adds up to a minimum of six inquiries.

However, it’s important to understand that this is not a cap, it’s a floor. You may receive more than two inquiries in a month, depending on several factors, such as:

  • The demand for your product category

  • Your factory’s production capabilities

  • Certifications and compliance standards

  • Competitive pricing

  • Responsiveness to buyer communication

  • Seasonal market trends

For example, if your factory specializes in a high-demand category and maintains strong compliance standards, the number of inquiries could exceed the minimum. On the other hand, if a particular category is slower during a given period, you are still protected by the minimum guarantee.

The purpose of this model is to reduce uncertainty. Many factories hesitate to invest in global platforms because they are unsure whether they will receive consistent business exposure. By guaranteeing at least two inquiries per month, Hula Global ensures that your factory is not left waiting indefinitely for opportunities.

That said, receiving inquiries and converting them into confirmed orders are two different things. While we guarantee inquiries, order conversions depend on factors such as pricing negotiations, sample approvals, timelines, and overall buyer-factory alignment. We facilitate the connection, but successful partnerships require active participation from both sides.

It’s also worth noting that “inquiries” refer to genuine buyer interest, not random messages or irrelevant leads. These are serious business inquiries from buyers looking for manufacturing partners who match specific requirements.
