March 2015 POST SHOW REPORT HI GHL I G H T S S ou r ci n g s e mi n a r s

Seminar tracks were located on the show floor and focused on sourcing, logistics, importing, etc. from industry experts.

fAC T ORY m atch ma k in g se rvice

We provide a matchmaking service on the show floor to help align buyers with the right suppliers. This is a great opportunity for exhibitors to highlight their company and product lines to buyers who are looking to source directly from factories. By providing the necessary materials (company info, brochure, product line sheets etc.) pre-show, our experienced sourcing team will be able to match the right buyers to you.

a L I B A B A Tr a d e A s sura n ce Progra m Take the stress out of trade. Alibaba introduced their Trade Assurance Program at the March 2015 Show. Through the Trade Assurance Program, buyers can have the peace of mind that if their product quality or delivery time do not meet expectations, the buyer will be covered and their payment will be protected.

March 2015 POST SHOW REPORT what at t en de es s a i d “I highly recommend retailers looking to purchase large volume to shop SourceDirect at ASD. The show is very inviting and the [SourceDirect] team was very helpful in our search of new products for the store. Though we walked the entire floor, we first connected with a SourceDirect team member at the Factory Matchmaking service desk. She was very helpful in matching us with vendors on the floor. The show was well merchandised by country and easy to navigate. [The Show] had a good amount of vendors from various countries including China, Taiwan, India, Mexico, Nepal, Pakistan, Bangladesh, etc. I found great prices on a selection of products for our business. Great sourcing show if you’re looking to source direct from factories.” – Thomas S., Buyer, Disneyland Resort

“[March 2015] was my first SourceDirect show. I own an online store and was looking to source wrist bands and travel kits direct from the manufacturer. I was able to find 4 great new vendors on the floor! Everyone [show management & vendors] were all very professional and helpful. I had a great experience at the show.” – Maria P., Owner, Miracles in Bloom

“We were very happy with our experience at the [August 2014] SourceDirect show. We had put a program to do more direct importing and SourceDirect was an excellent chance for us to make new contacts. We found new vendors and will probably order from at least four factories within the next few months. The Matchmaking service was incredibly helpful. It allowed us to focus on vendors which were more likely to be relevant to our lines of business therefore saving us time and frustration. We are a College Book Store that typically attends Book Store tradeshows. At the other tradeshows, we do not see companies like the ones at SourceDirect; all in one place making it very convenient to shop. We were pleasantly surprised to find a number of vendors who could do small quantities at very good prices. We are definitely planning to attend SourceDirect at ASD again!” – S. Miller, General Merchandise Buyer, The Duck Store at the University of Oregon sourcedirectshow.com

We made about 40 orders and are in talks with a hotel chain in San Diego to do private label in their souvenir stores. All in all, great show. We already signed up for August! Keep up the good work!” - Jose L., Adorote (Mexico)

“Great show. We made several contacts and got really good feedback from our products, which are brand-new in the market. The team was amazing as to bring us buyers directly to our booth. Even Wal-Mart showed up! We are very excited and are planning on coming back in August.” – Matthew C., Evo Brazil (Brazil)

“Really good show. We were impressed at the amount of buyers coming to us. We had been told about the matchmaking initiatives but never really believed it until coming here. We made a large order with a company from Canada and are following up with US buyers for smaller and medium orders. We are planning on returning in August.” – R., Cinturones Marquez (Mexico)
