The following measures can be taken to achieve good results when participating in the Canton Fair:
The Canton Fair is not only for getting orders, but also for meeting old customers, showing new samples, and exploring potential new customers. The qualification requirements for exhibitors must reach a certain amount of export volume each year, so each exhibition is also a reflection of the company’s strength and can enhance the confidence of old customers.
The effectiveness of the Canton Fair mainly depends on the quality, novelty, reasonable price and whether the product is suitable for the target market. If the product has these characteristics and can be assigned to a good booth located in the main channel, good results can be achieved. The Canton Fair provides an opportunity to communicate with buyers face to face, presenting products to customers in the most direct way, and the order conversion rate will be relatively higher than on trade websites.
For newcomers to foreign trade, attending the Canton Fair may be a bit confusing. In fact, attending a trade fair is similar to meeting salesmen in shopping malls, except that you are facing foreign customers. As long as your English level is good and you are familiar with the products, it is not a difficult thing. You need to pay attention to the following points:
Prepare the exhibits for the exhibition and memorize the specifications and detailed information of these exhibits in preparation for introducing them to customers.
Prepare detailed price lists and packaging information for the exhibits. It is best to memorize the prices of several commonly used products so that you can answer customer inquiries immediately.
It is best to prepare some samples in case important customers ask for samples.
In addition, prepare some company samples or brochures. When participating in the exhibition, if you can prepare some exquisite candies or chewing gums and put them on exquisite plates, the effect will be better. Many foreign customers especially like to eat Chinese candies, and exquisite and tempting candies can attract their attention.
The above is the relevant content about the 2023 Canton Fair. Generally speaking, not everyone is qualified to participate in the Canton Fair, and its threshold is relatively high. If a product can enter the Canton Fair, it proves from the side that the company has certain strength.
