The Hong Kong Gifts & Premium Fair, the Hong Kong International Printing & Packaging Fair and DeLuxe PrintPack Hong Kong from 27-30 April brought more than 36,000 global buyers and over 11,000 buyers respectively. These trade fairs fostered cross-sector business opportunities, strengthened resilience and expanded market horizons among global traders.
Handicrafts Drew Buyers from Online to Offline
During the Gifts & Premium Fair, we spoke to several exhibitors who are using our Sourcing platform and are keen to promote their signature products, one of which is Great Star Merchandise Corp specialising in the sale of plastic and educational toys, models and accessories, audio-visual products, decorations, and handicrafts. According to their Foreign Trade Sales Manager, Rose Hong, the hktdc.com Sourcing platform has brought the company significant buyer enquiries from the United Kingdom, Thailand, Türkiye, and Bulgaria. Some buyers who initially connected online also visited the booth at the fair in person.
Baby Toys Attracted Diverse Buyers Online
Another exhibitor that we spoke with was Creative Joy International Co., Ltd which offers a diverse product range including soft building blocks, finger puppets, rubber ducks, and various other toys, primarily distributed across Europe, including France, the United Kingdom, Germany, Spain, and Italy.
Wyman Tse, the company’s Marketing Director, praised the hktdc.com Sourcing platform’s effectiveness. They met an American new buyer through the platform, who has now become a long-term partner. The initial order was worth approximately US$10,000, and this year, the buyer placed a new order of US$120,000. Additionally, the platform has attracted new buyers from Singapore, Japan, and Israel, who first contacted them online and then visited their booth in person to discuss their enquiries and sourcing needs face-to-face.
Packaging Company Received Notable Enquiries from hktdc.com Sourcing
Lastly, we came across Marshallom (Holdings) Ltd which has been in the packaging and can-making industry for over 30 years. Their Hong Kong Regional Manager Johnny Chan told us that the company has been receiving enquiries from buyers in many countries via hktdc.com Sourcing, including France, Germany, Italy, the United States, Japan, Malaysia, Thailand, and others.
All the above exhibitors have been using hktdc.com Sourcing platform to market their gifts, premium and packagings at an affordable price. It is a great way to reach out to international buyers to maximize business advantages.
