HONG KONG, April 27, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Global Sources
(NASDAQ:GSOL) has now fully launched its suite of services for the
gifts and home products industries. The services connect a
specialized community of buyers and suppliers through content,
communication and five media channels -- an online marketplace, a magazine,
alerts, a mobile app and trade shows.
Running from April 27 to 30 at
AsiaWorld-Expo in Hong Kong, three
co-located shows offer gift and home products buyers and suppliers
high-level sourcing opportunities. These are China Sourcing
Fair: Gifts & Premiums, China Sourcing Fair: Home Products
and Korea Sourcing Fair: Gifts
& Premiums.
Global Sources' CEO, Spenser Au,
said: "From product discovery to final orders, we help quality
buyers find quality suppliers who establish long-term business
partnerships. This is our 10th year holding the shows in
Hong Kong and our shows have
become a must-attend event for buyers in the gifts and home
products industries. Top suppliers from China and across Asia showcase their newest products and this,
in turn, attracts top buyers to attend every April and
October."
Among the thousands of buyers pre-registered to attend the shows
are American Gift, Bandai, Citysuper, eBay, El Corte Ingles, Intel,
ItsImagical, Li & Fung, Mango, Nitori, Office Depot, Sears,
Staples, Tchibo and WM Morrison.
The shows are also supported by international industry
organizations including Gifts Association Singapore, Thai Gifts Premiums & Decorative Association,
Malaysian Gifts & Premium Association, International
Association of Promotional Products and Shunde Home Appliance
Chamber of Commerce.
Exhibitors are experienced exporters, 90 percent are exclusive at Global
Sources shows and most of them are direct manufacturers. This
allows buyers a unique opportunity to cut out the middleman and
source directly at competitive prices, with flexible terms for
production and delivery.
Other show highlights include:
- Featuring 10,000 products, a bag pavilion covers a rich
selection of luggage, sports and promotional bags.
- A new Sports Event & Athletic Club Souvenirs pavilion:
unique in Hong Kong and mainland
China, to meet the sourcing demand
for Olympic and other sports event promotion gifts.
- Sports Activity Zone creates an
interactive product showcase at the show.
- Color Trends Area: Hosted in cooperation with Pantone, the
world-renowned authority on colors, color trends will be
illustrated with Pantone's swatch cards, photos, videos and
products from pre-selected exhibitors.
- Conference programs offer a unique and valuable opportunity to
gain first-hand marketing intelligence and China sourcing strategies.
- Private Sourcing Events allow pre-selected exhibitors
exclusive opportunities to meet large global companies in private
during the shows. Sourcing teams from companies including BIC
Graphic, Coop Denmark Asia and Top-Toy are scheduled to
participate, representing combined annual sales of more than
US$103 billion.
Opening hours for the trade shows are:
- April 27-29 from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
