加拿大进出口外贸发一篇我上半年去广交会的经历(以采购的身份)



加拿大外贸

This was the first time I went to Canton Fair, though before I have participated a lot both in Shanghai and other places. I thought it would be similar to these exhibitions. But I am totally wrong. The following is what I have experienced.


(1) I’ve heard that Canton Fair charge visit fees, but never think ordinary people can not even enter it though you’d like to pay it. Fortunately, I took my passport with me, and with Daniel’s(He is our Manager) permanent card, I finally got the card of two-day permission after paying RMB600 (300 per day). The procedure of entering the Fair is just like boarding the plane, checking the permission card, luggage, and there is even a real soldier standing in the middle of the gate.


(2) The first day (4-16)I went there too late, because I went to the bank to transfer the money to Jared in the morning. So it would be wasteful if I just visited for 3 hours with RMB300. I sited outside for a while and someone gave me a throwaway of a near-by show which was called Aftermarket Auto parts & Tuning International Trade Fair 2007. I looked around there and found some interested catalogues, and next day when I got entered the Canton Fair, I found that there were many factories that also set booths there, and people there were more passionate than those in Canton Fair.


(3) Most of the booths in Carton Fair were set by trading companies, I was a little bit confused by this phenomena, because as a buying agent ourselves, we could hardly make deal with these companies. Therefore we skipped many booths, and, for the direct manufacturers, there were so many foreign buyers so they showed little interest in Chinese people. It really depressed me a lot at first, some even still sitting in their chair and when I asked for interested catalogues, they made excuses and did not want to give me.

What I learnt from these experiences is:

(1). Make better preparation for every bad possibilities. We shall search on internet for Canton Fair enters requirements or asked for other people who have gone there before. Do not assume everything as a matter of course.

(2) Contact manufacturers beforehand and ask them whether they will attend the shows, if you have contacted a manufacturer on the phone and then went to their booths, they will treat you as an acquaintance.


(3) Training yourself, neglect inhospitality and behave more professional.

一转眼秋季的广交会又要到了 时间过的真快
我是三月初去这家公司的 4月份就去参加广交会 还是很激动的
但是我去了之后就明白为什么其他人不高兴去(就我一个跟着主管去的)
当时我们是住在深圳的新都酒店,4星级520一晚,靠近火车站,离香港很近(广州当时根本就订不到合适的酒店),每天早上坐火车去广州,再转地铁.顺利的话也就罢了,偏偏那个动车组老是误点,总之痛苦不堪    不过现在想起来也是宝贵的经验

那里基本上中东的比较多 据说有一个中东的骗子 去广交会看到什么都问工厂要样品,然后收集了一个集装箱的样品回国去卖了 这样一年就啥也不用干了

很真实的经历。我记得我去101的时候。第一天,带了我老板去(比利时人)。要图册相当简单,而且很热情。第二天是我一个人去的(老板要回家)。气氛明显不同,很多就是非常不爽快的样子。有的甚至想找理由拒绝,要名片啊,什么的。

评论
是哦 问他们要产品目录很困难,要名片都爱理不理
而且那里进出口公司超级多 郁闷
