Global Sources Lifestyle x Fashion

Executives of businesses that purchase for resale

Senior management, sourcing and product development executives for the world’s leading retailers, manufacturers, venture capital, and brand owners are among the visitors at our exhibitions. Our shows are also heavily attended by a wide range of small and medium-sized import, wholesale and retail businesses – including a fast-growing segment of Amazon and other online sellers.

Executives with purchasing authority

Since our shows are dedicated to strategic sourcing, the majority of attendees have purchasing authority — and executive management job titles like Owner, Partner, President, Director and General Manager.

Executives seeking private-label and suppliers’ brands

Much of the business conducted at Global Sources Electronics is “private label” where the brand is owned by the overseas buyer but the physical product is selected from the portfolio of the contract manufacturer in Asia. There is also a growing amount of sourcing where buyers purchase products with suppliers’ brands, packaged and ready to go straight into retail.

Three of our suppliers are exhibitors here and I’ve been very pleased with our cooperation.

"I’m here for the third time. I like your show more because the exhibition floor is spacious and the vibe is calm. People are also very friendly here. It’s easy to discuss business because I can talk with suppliers without any language barrier."

"Three of our suppliers are exhibitors here and I’ve been very pleased with our cooperation. Working with them has been smooth and easy."

"I’ll return next October."

I pre-registered on GlobalSources.com. It’s nice, user-friendly, and not confusing.

“This is my first time here. Everything is in order. It’s a great expo for both startups and big companies. I’ve met a lot of people who are very friendly and insightful. Many of them have catalogues so it’s very helpful.”

“I pre-registered on GlobalSources.com. It’s nice, user-friendly, and not confusing. Two weeks before I came to the show, I started looking online and discovered that you could find everything there. It’s very easy; just list down the booths of suppliers and visit them later at the show.”

“You send e-mails to me every day when there are new suppliers that match my sourcing needs. It’s very informative. Everything is on the internet now so I don’t see why we shouldn’t place orders online.”

“I’ll be here next year for sure.”

I’m a small buyer so I’m looking for suppliers who accept small MOQ.

“I was here last week for the Electronics show and this is now my second visit. Things are very organized onsite. It’s a good chance to meet suppliers face-to-face. I’ve met many people, especially those from India."

“I used the buyer app, then viewed the exhibitor list and shortlisted them. I use it a lot. I’m a small buyer so I’m looking for suppliers who accept small MOQ.”

“I’ll surely come back next time.”

Global Sources’ trade show is the most attractive because here, you have many suppliers.

“It's my first time here. It's pretty big and there are lots to see."

“We come to the show very often because we can find many suppliers here. We also visit other events such as the Hong Kong Electronics Fair in Wan Chai but actually, Global Sources’ trade show is the most attractive because here, you have many suppliers, we can find products that we’re looking for, and we meet many friends. Usually, I check the prices at the show and then visit the factories in China."

“I use GlobalSources.com as well. Next year, I'll come back.”
