say goodbye to B2B trade platform

If you are doing international business, if you are looking for the best way to maximize your profits, you may find a professional manufacturer who produces the right products you need and offer you the most favorable ex-factory price. Traditionally, we are led to the B2B trade platforms, like globalsouces, alibaba, made-in-china, etc, to source for the right products we are looking for. And we believe they are places where most real manufacturers gather,also we can get most favorable price. It is true that many suppliers joined are factory-based, and you will also find there are hundreds of suppliers under the same products category for your reference. However, for the suppliers they have to pay at least $14 thousands to be listed, while there are also many trading companies disguise themselves as manufacturers, the competition among them are very fierce. It seems that B2B trade platform is the most favorable place for sourcing products, however, is it really like that?

Follow me to find the really truth.

As we all know from a popular proverb goes like this: after all, the wool still comes from the sheeps back. What the manufacturers bear from the B2B trade platforms are mostly shared by the buyers due to the costs for the registered buyers have added to the price they quoted. So the cost for the buyers increased. And for the manufacturers, due to the inquiries from the mentioned B2B platforms are normally shared by hundreds of suppliers at the same time, so the quality of the inquiry for the suppliers will be greatly reduced. In order to benefit, many suppliers have to lower down their price, however,we all know that the price of the products always related to the quality. If you are the buyer of Globalsouces , Made in China, or Alibaba, you may first feel lucky that you find a really favorable price among many suppliers after comparison, however on the other hand you may suffered. Because the cost of the same products are nearly the same, only these who offer the inferior products dare to quote you the incredible price. You may benefit once, then you will lost your customer forever.

We have to admit that due to own many loyal customers worldwide and their powerful influence at the very beginning of e-marketing, B2B trade platforms indeed bring a lot of convenience and benefits for both manufacturers and buyers. B2B trade platform provide the access for both buyers and suppliers to meet and accomplish their deals, they offer the export and import channel. However, with the rapid development of the internet, more and more customers are tend to use Google, Yahoo and other mainstream search engines to search for the right products they are needed, this is more targeted and effective.And for the suppliers, especially the manufacturers begin to feel the restrictions and heavy burdens imposed by the B2B trade platform, then they realize the importance to establish their own website and then promote it to their customers. According to Miss Zhang, CEO of professional indoor LED lighting products manufacturer Sundopt co., ltd, their products include LED bulbs,LED tube,LED spotlight, LED ceiling light,LED par lamp, LED panel light, LED wall sconce, ect., all these indoor LED lighting products are closely related to the safety and health of users, so they always paying special attention to the quality of their products,even they have to face the fierce competition, they dare not risk to produce the inferior products. However ,as a company they have to make money to run. After a careful research ,they decide to establish their own website which is made strictly according to search engine and user friendly principles. they cut down the invests in B2B trading platform while pay special attention to their own website. They focus on the keyword search strategy while many of their key words have ranked the top of Google and other main stream search engines. their customers can send the inquiry directly when find the right products they need, and they promise to reply no longer than 24 hours. Through this way ,they ensure the quality of their products while not hurt the benefits of their customers. It is really a good move.

This is just one case, most manufacturers now shift to build their own website to avoid the high cost B2B market platform imposed upon them and their customers. This has been an irresistible trend, and one day all the manufacturers will no longer to be slaved by the B2B trade platform. And they are free to stretch out their arms to embrace their customers. As for both the manufacturers and buyers, for more benefits and quality products,it is time to say goodbye to B2B trade platform!
