Participant s feedback Alexey Ukhanov, Supply Chain Import Manager in International Retail Chain of Hypermarkets Globus. B2B match-making sessions participant It s the first time we attend such event in Russia, we usually take part in international trade fairs overseas. Negotiations with the representatives of Chinese companies were quite efficient and interesting. Moreover, at this trade fair we have managed to find those suppliers, who we could never meet at other exhibitions. Now I may say that we have already received 3-4 good offers. Marina Batsinkova, Head of Import Department in Start company. B2B match-making sessions participant I took part in such kind of B2B sessions overseas, I mean, in China, Taiwan; now I am going to Korea. However it is my first time in Russia! We have worked efficiently with our Chinese partners and had many negotiations. I think, it is early to talk about effectiveness of them, as we need to get final commercial terms first. However, talking about the goods presented here at China Commodity Fair, we are ready to buy and import under acceptable terms 90-96% of what we ve already seen. Lyaman Steffen, Non-food Division Manager in Utkonos company. B2B match-making session participant The negotiations were quite efficient. If I am not mistaken, we have held 36-37 meetings. Almost one third of the companies seems interesting and we will sign contracts. Entire event is organized very well!. Sergey Sushkov, Head of Sales Department in TRASCO, Transport and Forwarding Company. Consultation Centre participant We take part in the trade fair for the first time. There is a great hustle around, many clients are passing by and asking. There are different visitors at the fair, from those who are willing to order and transport freight for themselves to large companies. Generally they ask to deliver commodities, many of which you can meet at the fair. There are citizens of Moscow as well as those who live in the provinces, for instance, in Nizhegorod Oblast, Sverdlovsk Oblast, Southern Federal District, which is great, I suppose. Nastasya Zhikhar, Deputy Director of the Asian Countries and Pacific Region Centre MIRBIS, Business Institute. Consultation Centre participant The fair is very efficient for us, as there is our target audience. Besides, we have a great interest to look at the fair and get to know what goods are presented. We are satisfied, because the fair is diversified. Here China poses a challenge. This is not the old China, but a new one. There are high quality goods. With a great joy, we will take part in the fair next year. The forums are also very interesting. Thus, it is not only a place to search suppliers, but a platform to develop a contact list and find new clients. Thank you for the chance to participate in the fair. Oleg Tarasenko, Sales Manager in HQTS, International Consulting and Inspection Group of Companies. Consultation Centre participant Average visitors of our stand are burgeoning entrepreneurs. They are interested in suppliers inspection and quality control services. We are satisfied with the results at the fair, taking into account the relation between the participation costs and the potential clients attracted. We are very satisfied with the promotion of our company services under the fair package. We expected fewer visitors, so we had to print more business cards.
Visitor s feedback Yulia Skornyakova, Head of Purchasing Department and Production Department in tribalmagazin.ru. Visitor Jeanne Levitskaya, Owner of optluxchina24.ru, wholesale delivery from China. Visitor Natalia Nyarova, Owner of Pearl, household chemicals and household consumer goods retail network. Visitor The fair was very efficient; there were many interesting and effective negotiations. China presented a wide range of different offers; frankly speaking, we expected that the assortment would be poorer. So, we were impressed! Besides, the variety of goods were of high quality. We found textile and interior goods suppliers. Next time we will definitely take part in all the upcoming events. The atmosphere at the fair was pleasant, so I wanted to stay some more time and explore everything. There were many goods, but I got interested in the stands with soft toys and shoes for children. The soft toys seemed to be very familiar. I was going to buy something for my child. As the main criteria for me was quality, I started to touch and assess the quality of the toys. There were no doubts that they were produced at a factory, which carried out multimillion contracts! Of course, we exchanged contact information and came to agreement about possible cooperation in the future. I liked the fair very much. I hope that next year the trade fair will be held again and it will be even bigger, I will definitely visit it! We decided to take part in this event aiming at searching for new suppliers for the first time! The opportunities we met here exceeded our expectations. Moreover, we are very happy with the fact that there is no doubt about the reliability of Chinese suppliers as it was Chinese government that invited them to the fair. The organizers did their best to make the exhibition the most effective for everyone.
