Less Cost and More Effects, Only on Alibaba.com

| Tuesday, May 19, 2009

YUNDA FILTER was founded in 2001. Our main products are water filters and related accessories. We are one of the earliest free members of Alibaba.com. But as a new company, we did not invest much in internet promotion. After 6 years' development, the export accounts for 80% of our total sales. We realized that joining Alibaba.com, the global outstanding online marketplace, had becoming a top importance and a big advantage for us to promote our products in overseas market and to be outstanding in the fierce competition.

We joined Alibaba.com as a Gold Supplier in 2008 and got the good result immediately. We received 6 to 10 inquiries per day. We have developed cooperative relationship with many new customers from Middle-East, South East Asia and America, some of which have placed several orders. We combined the knowledge and experience learned from the professional training courses with our own practical situation. We arranged a series of trainings for our trade team and developed an Order Process Procedure to improve their judgment to inquiries, ability of negotiation and risk control so as to improve the probability of transactions and stability of orders. The other harvest we got from Alibaba.com was a great deal of information which helped us to adjust products' specifications, appearances and packing according to the analysis of the competitive strength of our products in different markets and special requests from these markets.

So far, we are not obviously affected by the economic crisis of 2008. We still kept a turnover valued 6 million dollars in 2008. We think it is directly related to our experience in Alibaba.com.

The annual cost of joining Alibaba.com is even lower than that of attending one international trade fair, but its coverage and effects are far more than a trade fair can provide. In the future, we will pay more attention to the operation of Alibaba.com, to be more careful in details, and actively participate in various training courses. We believe that we will make a breakthrough in 2009.
