Find the right partners fast through the enhanced online sourcing platform tdctrade.com sourcing

Online sourcing has never been easier for overseas buyers thanks to an enhanced tdctrade.com sourcing, a popular feature on the Hong Kong Trade Development Council's (TDC) portal

The sourcing section has been enriched with company and product information on all exhibitors at TDC trade fairs and all advertisers of TDC product magazines. Further enhancements include a more powerful search engine with 3,000 product categories, user-friendly interface and better sorting function. Through the enhanced tdctrade.com, TDC connects buyers to more than 100,000 quality suppliers from Hong Kong, the Chinese mainland and around the world.

"With supplier database expansion and search engine enhancement, we are now able to provide a new customised "tdctrade.com sourcing" service enabling visiting buyers to find the right exhibitors or products they need before or at the TDC trade fairs," said Clare Wong, TDC Head of Publications and ecommerce.

Proven results

"Take the recent Hong Kong International Jewellery Show for example. Buyers can find products as specific as '18K gold red diamond necklace'."

According to Ms Wong, a pilot run for the Jewellery Show in March yielded more than 3,700 enquiries from over 2,300 buyers. The customised tdctrade.com sourcing service will be replicated in the upcoming TDC organised fairs: Spring Electronics Fair (14-17 April), Houseware Fair (21-24 April), Gifts & Premium Show (28 April-1 May) provide links

All pre-registered and potential buyers will receive an electronic direct mail before each show while actual visitors to the fair will be approached by on-site assistants to try out the service.

"A list of relevant exhibitors and advertisers with their booth numbers and product photos will be generated instantly and given to the enquiring buyer in hard copy and by email," added Ms Wong of the latest TDC marketing effort.
