Global Sources Exhibitions

In this video, sourcing guru Gary Huang talks about the most efficient way to talk to exhibitors at a trade show.

Gary is from 80/20 Sourcing and was a speaker at the Global Sources Summit for online and Amazon sellers held in Hong Kong October 17-19, 2016.

Some of his tips include:

1) Come prepared with a list of products you are looking for

2) When you find a suitable supplier, staple the supplier’s business card on a page in your notebook, and document product specs and prices on the same page

3) Look at the products on display to determine the supplier’s focus. If there is a wide variety of products in display, it is likely the exhibitor is a trading company

Watch this video where Meghla Bhardwaj of Global Sources follows Gary around the Global Sources Mobile Electronics show.
