Question 2: How to find foreign suppliers Alibaba has many foreign companies, and Ali Want Want is also very easy to use. China is the country with the largest number of textile suppliers in the world. You can post in professional forums according to the characteristics of raw materials you want, and there will be many responses.
Question 3: How to find foreign suppliers? What goods do you need?
Question 4: How to find foreign suppliers? I wonder if we can cooperate. People are in Italy.
Question 5: How to find foreign suppliers in Ali? Alibaba and global sources are similar companies. What are the advantages of Alibaba compared with global sources?
Porteri * * * An, vice president of Alibaba's international public relations department: The first question is about textiles, and the second question is how we view global sources, which is about competitors. If you can't win in your own place, do you still need to win in a competitor's place? Recently, I feel that Americans care a little too much about textiles. I think this is a good opportunity for everyone. I used to be in America, but I still think it is helpful for everyone to come and help you promote it. China suppliers may be under a little pressure in this industry recently, because the policy is not clear now, so there won't be so many disputes. Later, I found that their factory was very big, but I was afraid that there were not enough customers now. I think this is a short-term problem that will be solved in the future, because all political problems can't control the trend of international trade, because international trade is becoming more and more open. But this time I think it is also an opportunity to see what your company can do to do better, or to find out where customers do better. I think this is a good opportunity to find buyers online. During this time, we should pay special attention to whether you have done well in Alibaba and whether the service has been done well. The second question is how do we view our competitors? As a matter of fact, we have always admired global sources Company, because they have a history of 30 years, and they may start to produce this kind of magazine or this kind of catalogue in Asia. Now we don't feel like we used to. We used to think that they were competitors, but we found that the two companies took two paths. Alibaba is now taking the online route, and global sources is taking the exhibition route. Their company is in China, and we will attend foreign exhibitions.
If the internet is well done, the exhibition may not be well done. And we found that their customers are also our customers. The online market is a model and the exhibition is a model. We admire them and learn a lot, but this is a new era and the new company may do better.
Netizen asked: Good afternoon. I ask a very simple question. My father is a buyer in Macau. We have money, warehouses and factories. We just became a member of Alibaba. How to use Alibaba's platform to find foreign suppliers in a short time? Thank you, Porteri * * * An, Vice President of International Public Relations Department of Alibaba: Many of our customers are also like this. They have investments and factories, but the key is how to find buyers. I put forward many ideas just now. You are looking for suppliers, our foreign suppliers. Because Alibaba's suppliers in China are the first to be promoted, and because they have invested the most, we want to give them better service. There are many suppliers abroad. In fact, these suppliers should be found in Alibaba. Just now I said what criteria buyers will use to evaluate. You can also use these standards to see if their communication is the same as we suggested. We have some payment providers who see their credit.
We have many foreign suppliers, because there are more and more suppliers and more buyers.
Netizen asked: I have a question to ask. Everyone knows that the choice of industry determines the future of the enterprise. If you have a sum of money, do you want to start a factory first or do foreign trade? Thank you, Porterri * * * An, vice president of Alibaba's international public relations department: If you are a foreign trade company, it depends on what special value you have.

Question 9: How to find foreign buyers Hello, there are many ways to find foreign customers. I recommend you to try it.
(1), the first is the home page of various professional exhibitions in this industry.
Professional exhibitions in our industry, such as eurobike in Europe, IFMA in Germany, and exhibitions in the United States, all have related homepages, which contain important information such as the contact information of all exhibitors, product types, exhibitor company websites, etc. These materials are very valuable, because foreign exhibitors are sellers and the largest importers, so these customers should focus on following up, especially those who have products that we can produce on the company's website. Although we didn't go to any such professional exhibition, we can start the advertising letter with "It's an honor to meet you from IFMA …", which will bring us closer to our customers at once.
(2) Yellow Pages.
Many enterprises in Europe have the habit of publishing their company information in the yellow pages, which is somewhat similar to the telephone book published by China Telecom in China, but the yellow pages mentioned here are online. However, there is generally no company email information in the yellow pages, which requires you to send the customer information found in the yellow pages to the search engine for more detailed information. For example, enter the name of ABC spa on Google, and you may find the company's website, so as to find the contact person, email address and other information.
(3) search engines.
This is the most used one. Google is overused by everyone, so we need some changes. The first change is to use more local search engines in various countries. For example, in China, you may get more information from Baidu than from Google. For example, if you use the same keyword in an Italian search engine, the result will definitely be different from that on Google. However, you need to pay attention to one thing. When you use search engines from different countries, you'd better translate the keywords into the languages of the corresponding countries online, such as translating the keyword pump into pompa (Italian) and searching for an Italian search engine in excite.it/,, so as to get more information. But some people may ask, then I can only understand English, but I can't understand other languages. In fact, many times you don't need to know so much. You will have experience if you look for it a few times, such as looking for German corporate websites. At this time, you don't have to worry. Generally, you can directly click on the product or contact subdirectories (of course, German is not spelled this way) to see if there are any products or E-MAIL that our company can produce. Since Europe is basically a language family, many spellings in many countries are very similar. For example, product German is called produkt and contact is called contakt. It's all related anyway. If you don't know, just point it one by one. If you find the information you are looking for, there is no need to click on anything else.
(4) Domestic website resources.
I mainly recommend World Buyers Network, Fubu Forum and Alibaba Chinese Network. First of all, let's talk about the World Buyers Network. Its website is win.mof.gov/index.asp.. This website is run by the Ministry of Commerce of China. All the customer information in it comes from the Canton Fair. The latest data of the world importers and the inside will be updated every working day, which needs to be checked and sorted out every day, and then an advertising letter will be sent directly saying that the customer met at the Canton Fair. Let's talk about Fubu Forum again. Fubu is the best and largest foreign trade bbs in China. In addition to teaching you how to operate all aspects of foreign trade, there are also several sections where netizens share customer resources. Some of the websites I mentioned above also benefit from the recommendation of friends on Fubu. You can go up and look at other people's recommendations or have a look at them when you are free ... >>
