Introduction
Most new European home furnishing retailers and independent store sellers face the same dilemma: they want to launch new carpet products to test market trends, but traditional factories only support large MOQs, resulting in high inventory risks and capital pressure. Starfish Carpet insists on supporting small-batch trial orders for new clients, helping emerging European retailers test trending products with low risk and quickly expand their market share. This case shares how a new independent home store in France achieved rapid profit growth through our flexible small-order cooperation model.

1. Customer Background & Challenges
The customer is a newly established home decoration retailer based in France, focusing on online social media sales and local community offline retail. When starting the carpet business, they faced three typical difficulties:
- High MOQ threshold of traditional factories: Most carpet manufacturers require large minimum order quantities, making it impossible for new sellers to test new styles with low investment.
- Uncertain local trend preference: The retailer was unsure which colors and textures would be popular in the local French market, and large-batch stocking would lead to overstock risks.
- Need complete certification support: European market requires strict REACH and environmental certification, and many low-end suppliers cannot provide complete documents.
