During the Fair, NewsBites talked to several exhibitors who have already been using our Sourcing platform and very keen to promote their signature products, one of which is Truly Electronics Manufacturing Limited featuring home appliances ranging from electronic toothbrushes to calculators. Their Sales Manager Ms. Olivia Lo felt this Fair drew much more traffic than previously, and substantial portion was from overseas.
The company met with some quality new European buyers, as well as Japanese and Brazilian buyers at the Fair who would like to purchase facial care products and scrubbers. They also came across some Hong Kong customers via hktdc.com Sourcing and made successful deals.
New Customers Brought from Online to Offline
Another exhibitor that we spoke with was Quair Company Limited that sells mainly air purifiers, humidifiers and steamers. According to their Co-Founder Mr. Thomas Hui, their products are designed locally in Hong Kong and unique in the market. Featuring both cooler and warmer in one, the products will enter sleep mode without interrupting user experience.
This is the second time the company participated in the Electronics Fair, and they are highly satisfied with the fair traffic which helped connecting with a significant number of new potential clients from Russia, the EU, UK and the US. Thomas is optimistic about the Electronics industry outlook, where customers want affordable, preferably low-priced, products in good shape and quality.
Leveraging the hktdc.com Sourcing platform and Click2Match, they received enquiries from an online buyer who then visited their fair booth physically. They also saw visitors scanning the QR code of Scan2Match to connect further.
Diverse Business Opportunities On Fairground and Click2Match
Lastly, Profit Charm Star Electrical Appliances Limited which sells a variety of blenders and electronic toys and gifts originally designed in Hong Kong. The company’s CEO Mr. Joe Wong believed the Fair traffic was much better than expected, and the company connected with some American, European and Japanese buyers at the Fair.
