Alibaba.com, a Round-the-Clock Trade Fair

| Thursday, May 14, 2009

As a company specialized in foreign trade, CEIEC Jiangsu Corporation was founded in 1981. With nearly 30 years’ experience in the trade, hundreds of skillful manufacturers in this area, and great contribution of our staff, we have become one of the major suppliers specializing in a large variety of electronic products in China. With the growing up of our factory, our main business is in the field of energy saving lamps, extension sockets, glass door for cool room cabinets (refrigerators).

I met a staff from Alibaba.com by chance in 2002. He invited me to be a member of Alibaba.com and we just wanted to develop a new channel to enlarge our business at that time. We decided to try and see whether the network trade was helpful. Once we come into the world of E-business, it’s just like attending the trade fair everyday. We issued many hot-sale products on our website in Alibaba.com and we received inquiries around the clock. During this period, I developed a customer from Nigeria. The guy was a very honest man. As usual, we started from inquires, quotations, price negotiations, to samples confirmation. I had the feeling that the transaction will be successful, because he was very professional in the products and all the trade procedures we discussed. After that, he came to china and stayed with me for one week. Unwittingly, we started the business since then. It has been 6 years since then. Now we have done a lot of business and have become very good friends. He has been to china to visit me for 4 times. With this small story, I’d like to say that the real customer can be noted by his inquiry, his way of doing business, his professional knowledge, and his e-mail feedback. You will have a basic idea of whether you can make it or not. If he has the potential, you should pay high attention to him and offer more considerate service to make yourself a reliable supplier to him.

We have been a Golden Supplier and “Trust Pass” member of Alibaba.com for eight years till now. We have developed some valuable customers. The most important thing is that we keep on using this forum as a trade fair. We present our products to new customers, develop new buyers and promote our company on the internet.
