Frequently Asked Questions
WHO ARE THE CONTACT DETAILS FOR?
If you're looking to start a new business, looking for new products, new suppliers, new factories, OEM factories, factories who can put your own brand on their products etc, the list of contacts will be perfect for you.
DO YOU OFFER PRODUCT SOURCING?
No sorry. There is too much time involved in product sourcing for customers. We only sell the contact details of the exhibitors who attend Canton Fair. The buyer can then look through and search for suppliers that suit themselves.
WHY BUY THE CONTACTS WHEN I CAN USE A PRODUCT SOURCING AGENT?
Once you have purchased the contacts, they are yours to keep, and you can contact hundreds or thousands of suppliers, which is quick and easy.
When using a sourcing agent, you will need to communicate with them usually through email giving them details of the products you're looking for, which can take anywhere around a week. Once the agent knows what products to source, they will need to communicate or visit suppliers to arrange your products. Once you agree on pricing, you then go through the production and quality control process, which takes 7-20 days. You will then be expected to wait for shipping and customs clearance, which is another 7-25 days. This whole process takes 21-52 days.
Finally, you will have added fees to pay when purchasing through an agent.
WHY BUY THE CONTACTS WHEN I CAN ATTEND THE EXHIBITION?
Not everybody is able to attend the fair. Even if you are able to attend, you'll simply not be able to visit all the exhibitors, as you won't have enough time.
The exhibition is open for 9 hours each day, if you look at 25,000 exhibitors for just 10 seconds, you will need 8 days to visit all exhibitions. Add toilet stops, lunch, breaks, and conversations with exhibitors, and you'll need much more time.
It is literally impossible to visit all exhibitors.
CAN I BUY JUST ONE CATEGORY OF CONTACT DETAILS?
We are currently working on splitting the contacts into separate categories, and we hope to have these databases available soon. In the meantime, if you wish to purchase specific contacts from certain categories, for example, Health & Beauty, Hardware, Home Electronics etc, please contact us and we will be able to help you.
WHAT DETAILS ARE ON THE LIST?
Company name, Principal name, Mobile, Landline and Fax telephone numbers, Email address, Website address, Full trading address, Year established, Enterprise size, Type of enterprise, etc.
CAN I NOT FIND THE SELLERS ON GOOGLE?
Maybe, but it's very unlikely you'll find most of the sellers that attend the fair, as lots of their websites don't appear in search engine results. Not all factories focus on website SEO to try and get their website at the top of search engines. There are many alternative ways for factories to promote their service, and lots of factories only promote themselves at Canton Fair.
Furthermore, it would likely take you years to find more than 21,000 suppliers if you're only relying on search engines. WhereasWhereas, if you buy the contacts, you will have instant access to the official Canton Fair directory of contacts within 5 minutes.
