Improving exhibition efficiency and cross-border e-commerce logistics management strategy

How can exhibitors improve exhibition efficiency? At present, many large companies have professional marketing departments responsible for overseas exhibitions. They have rich experience in exhibitions and their preparations for exhibitions are orderly and professional. But for SMEs, the lack of a professional marketing department is a challenge. Fortunately, after decades of development, China’s exhibition industry has formed a complete service system, covering all aspects such as exhibition registration, personnel itineraries, exhibit transportation, booth construction, public relations activities, and subsidy declarations.

Clear exhibition goals

Whether it is promoting the company’s brand, maintaining old customer relationships, or understanding new markets and seeking new cooperation opportunities, clear goals can make exhibitions more targeted and improve exhibition efficiency.

Preparation work before participating in the exhibition

• Collect well-known exhibitions related to the industry and select trade shows with high professionalism and accurate product positioning;
• Prepare representative and competitive products for the exhibition in advance, and the physical display effect is far better than posters or pictures;
• Select suitable foreign trade or sales personnel to participate in exhibitions abroad, and it is recommended that the company’s decision-makers go there in person;
• Investigate target customers and arrange a meeting time in advance via email or phone to improve communication efficiency.

Make full use of on-site time

In the days before the exhibition, exhibitors should take the initiative to communicate with visiting visitors and seize any possible opportunity to showcase products and companies. On the last day of the exhibition, when the number of visitors decreases, you can use this time to conduct research on the exhibition hall, facilities and visitor flow to prepare for the next exhibition.

Post-exhibition follow-up

Promptly organize business cards and related information of visiting customers, and contact and follow up as soon as possible. Especially for interested customers, they should be contacted as soon as possible after the exhibition to increase the possibility of cooperation.

Choose official exhibition channels

It is recommended to choose the organizer or official agent to apply for a booth or seek exhibition services to improve exhibition efficiency and protect corporate interests.

Continuous exhibition

Maintaining continuous participation in exhibitions for two or three years or more can leave a deep impression on visitors who continue to visit, eliminate or weaken the audience’s sense of strangeness and uncertainty, and increase the possibility of cooperation.

Improve cross-border e-commerce logistics strategy

The improvement of the cross-border e-commerce logistics delivery system is not only related to operational efficiency, but also directly affects costs. Enterprises should choose logistics and delivery channels based on product attributes, market demand and target consumer groups.

Application of advanced logistics technology

The application of logistics technology can not only improve transportation efficiency, but also improve the transparency and controllability of the entire supply chain. By introducing technologies such as the Internet of Things, big data analysis, and artificial intelligence, cross-border e-commerce companies can better respond to complex and changing market demands.

Strengthen supply chain collaboration and cooperation

Establishing efficient information communication channels with international logistics companies and warehousing service providers will help realize logistics information sharing and real-time updates, reduce potential delays and errors, and improve the coordination of overall operations.

Improve the after-sales service system

Logistics is not only the process of moving goods from sellers to buyers, but also involves after-sales service. A complete after-sales service system can provide timely solutions when problems arise during the transportation of goods, enhancing users’ trust in cross-border e-commerce.

Manage international parcel dynamics

Tracking the location and status of packages in real time helps provide accurate logistics information to customers, enhancing their trust and satisfaction. By monitoring package dynamics, sellers can deal with possible problems in a timely manner and improve logistics efficiency.

Advantages of building your own overseas warehouse

By building their own warehouses, sellers can better control inventory, improve logistics efficiency, and provide customers with faster and more reliable delivery services. Self-built warehouses enable sellers to grasp inventory status in real time and manage it flexibly, reducing transportation time and costs and improving user experience.

The role of third-party overseas warehouse barcodes

The third-party overseas warehouse barcode system simplifies the warehouse entry and exit process, improves operational efficiency, provides product traceability, optimizes inventory management and replenishment strategies, and supports multi-channel sales and cross-border business by assigning unique identification codes to each product. .

To sum up, both exhibitors and cross-border e-commerce sellers should focus on methods and techniques to improve efficiency and choose strategies suitable for their own business development, so as to achieve greater success in the global market.
