Alibaba, a Channel thttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifowards the World

|

Since the establishment of the company, we have been focusing on domestic market and know nothing about overseas market. How to find foreign buyers? What kind of procedures and certifications should be prepared for conducting export business? How to operate cancellation after verification for foreign exchanges? We didn’t want to take any risks, so we decided to do some research first.

It's the age of network nowadays. During our search online, we found that Alibaba.com was the best tool for trading in overseas market. Professional traders from all over the world gathered together on Alibaba.com to offer advices on everything from trading internationally to topics specific to our industry. We discovered that Alibaba.com was a B2B website designed to help small and medium-sized enterprises like us move towards the overseas market. So we decided to cooperate with Alibaba.com.

For the long-term development of the company, we need an international platform like Alibaba.com. Our mainly products include seamless steel pipe, welded pipe, spiral steel pipe, elbow, flange, etc. These products have already established solidly in domestic market. At present when the market competition is so intensive, it is an inexorable trend for us to promote our products to the global market.

Alibaba.com: A Shortcut to the overseas market

|

Linyi Xingda Aluminum-Plastic Decorative Materials Co., Ltd. was founded in 2003. Now, it has developed into a large enterprise in the field of Aluminum-plastic Panel. We have 5 advanced production lines.

At the initial stage of our company, we only focused on the domestic market. It was not until 2007 that we decided to open up the international market.

We wanted to find a good B2B platform at first. After a series of research and comparison, with careful contrast of network selling and traditional marketing channels, we finally chose Alibaba.com.

Because we just contacted this field, we only got several orders in the first year of cooperation. But from the second year, as we became more and more familiar with the B2B platform Alibaba.com and the international market, inquiries poured in through Alibaba.com and several orders could be closed each month. Now, we have enjoyed many regular clients and more and more new clients continue to flow in.

We will keep on cooperating with Alibaba.com in 2009. Our international trade team has been extended from 2 employees to 10 elites. We believe that our team will get stronger and stronger with the aid of Alibaba.com and our business will get better and better.

‘Right time to make presence felt in the market’ – Trade fair exhibitor

|

A trade fair is one of the most important tools of marketing and promotion for any product. The textile and clothing industry also organizes hundreds of fairs in a year across the globe, which brings together exhibitors and buyers from the industry on one platform.

But the slowdown in the global economy has impacted textile and garment sector to a great extent and could also potentially affect the worldwide trade fair industry. To learn more about the impact of the slowdown on the trade fair industry, Fibre2fashion got an opportunity to speak exclusively to Perry Chen, Senior Account Executive of Shanghai Gehua Exhibition Service Co. Ltd.

We began the interview by asking him the effect of crisis in the first quarter of 2009 for which he said “Our major business is focused on textiles, apparel and hosiery trade fairs in China and we have millions of such manufactures and most of them are exporters and some famous brands would like to promote their brand image in domestic market and then would take part in our trade fairs”.

We were also curious to know, as to what extra lengths, they are going to maintain levels of participation of both, exhibitors and visitors, to which he said, “For exhibitors in Shanghai, the market price is RMB12,000 and we are offering good discounts and for visitors we are offering two nights free accommodations and it is totally free for overseas exhibitors”.

Lastly we asked him to for his advice to the exhibitors who are having second thought on participating in a trade fair in the current recessionary phase, to which he replied by saying by stating that “There are three types of companies, the first which needs to maintain its market share, the second which wants to increase its market share and last one which used to have full orders in hand and did not have time to promote and market, this is the most appropriate time to make their presence felt in the market”.

Only timely & effective decision can revitalize jute sector - BJSA

|

The jute sector has seen better days and was one of the most vibrant sector in the post independence period in India and in Bangladesh, what was know then as East Pakistan. Millions of people including farmers, jute mill workers etc received their sustenance from this industry. But government apathy in both the countries led to the gradual downfall of what is called the yellow and golden fibre.

To get a real image of the state of the sector in current times, Fibre2fashion spoke exclusively to Mr. Shabbir Yusuf, Chairman of Bangladesh Jute Spinners Association (BJSA). We began the discussion by questioning him about the real and accurate reasons for the gradual decline in the jute sector, he answered by stating “It is the lack of govt. decision about the de-nationalization process of govt. owned enterprises and only timely effective decision can revitalize jute industry in the country”.

“There is indecision on the financial re-structuring of the public enterprises, to make it workable and self reliant. The World Bank’s policy to finance generously towards restructuring of jute sector, led to skilled manpower leaving the sector and without any substantial & effective programme to build & maintain a skilled working force for the remaining industries, has saddled and rendered the sector with unskilled force & incompetent management”, added Mr. Yusuf.

We carried on the conversation by asking about his expectation of the jute sector from the government to which he firmly said, “While launching the re-structuring programme, the World Bank helped jute sector financially in a very big way and to revitalize the industry, similar drive needs to be initiated, because nothing tangible has been achieved in last 50-60 years and no mentionable R & D activities both in public & private sector”.

Next we tried to know how the rising jute fibre prices in recent months had impacted the real stake holders; the farmers and its effect on the end product, to which Mr Yusuf replied by saying, “With the present shape of jute industry within our country if we pin point the major stake holders first in order are the farmers, then according to priority it is jute spinners (jute yarn manufacturers) i.e. BJSA, BJA, BJMC & BJMA”.

He continued by explaining, “Initial high price at the beginning of the season benefited mainly the growers, but later they had to sell at a very marginal price. The major stake holder BJSA mills bought at sky high prices, whereas the finished goods prices are still at the bottom”.

To know about its applications in technical textiles sector, we ended the interview by asking him about the same and steps the sector was taking to promote the same, to which he said, “We have been hearing from our scientists & technicians about cheap commercial textile fibre jute having a future as a technical textile fibre and its potential in geo- textiles is enormous in the field of soil protection & civil construction”.

“In this respect our neighboring country India, a major jute & jute goods producer is making a noticeable progress. All their research centre’s & different government agencies are vigorously active as against a very disinterested role played in our country. However IJO/IJSG is trying to play some roll in it, he concluded by saying.
