Hey guys,


I have been running a sourcing company form here in Shanghai with a friend for the past few years and we have decided to try to garner some American customers (I am Canadian, he is Taiwanese).  Does anyone know how best to advertise ourselves / promote our capabilities?  We are an OEM company and do not have any specialized products.  Basically, we just create the products requested from us by the customer.  Our current customers are in the Asia Pacific region and we have been quite successful in this area, mainly because of our prices, promptness and ability to provide samples (and our English/Chinese capabilities).  But the American market has proven to be a challenge to penetrate.  Any veterans care to guide?  Please add my MSN if you use it - thanks 


Thanks in advance,


Ryan

Hi Vueglobal,


We have been doing mostly OEM stuff.  Lots of general misc. things (ie electronics, small goods, household products, machinery, some construction items...).  We have basically advertised ourselves as 'scouts', letting our customers know that we will track down any item they need and source it for them.  It has actually worked out quite well in this part of the world.


I would personally like to keep this business plan, offering more of a 'scouting' service than a particular, disciplined product.  But as one Alibaba user pointed out earlier, it may take more than advertising to win trade partners in the US.


I would be grateful to hear your thoughts...

Hello Royan,

Why not post words ads on google engine. it is very popular today.

As for the B2B portal, you should select the line of business that they are of major line.

Remember you are doing business for yourself, but not by yourself.

You guys are the lowest form of vermin on the planet ... one of the thousands of mainland China sellers getting China a terrible name in the rest of the world.

So low, you have even stolen the official Olympic symbol to stick on your website.
