Is B2B effective?

[size=4]I saw many thread telling us how to find customers on the internet.8z&v,v N;jU
search , quotation , order ....................
;y:j"E-f1^,aQ"k Is B2B effective?e0Jvn%w6HM7z6?6L;?
Cos our company is small and we have stalls in the Canton Fair. We went there twice a year.So our customers mainly comes from the fair and some longstanding customers.And I think it is more effective to communicate with buyers face to face.:m9jn_/W-a

We do not need to search on the internet, and I do not know whether it is effective. I tried once ,but nothing happens.
7m P:{-\L6B j`} Last time, a man from  alibaba went to our company and asked our boss whether she is interested in the B2B, but our boss said the chance of getting customer from the internet is slim. so she refused it.%Z^O5x7y2WK
So I am wondering if it is useful and necessary to have a try on the internet?:L [/size],Ei*zz*Dh v

too small?0sr!km[q7paS
ok, I will set it again.

Compare with Canton fair, the B2B is not so efficient, but it's another method to fine customers.:)

if I have time ,maybe I should have a try.

Well. It's hard to say. You know, you hardly get orders without any hard work. So, if you do more, you'll find everything is effective. So does b2b.

And if you are not sure the method of registering b2b, please read some threads both in E-commerce here and there in Chinese fob.

Thanks.:)

it up to you

maybe or maybe not

What you describe is similar to our company's. Our customer is always from the exhibition.
*smQ R8Pu Meantime, we try to explore the customer though the  free B2B, but until now, we haven't got any order .sometimes some potentional customer ask you for the quotation ,and then no information. So the rate of geting orders is very low. But if you're make good use of the B2B platform which should be paid money ,such as alibaba,global source ,Made in china . Maybe effective for you explore the customer . Why can I say this sentence? some of my friends has been worked as foreign trade sales. And they have received many orders from their customers which is finded though the B2B paid platform. They told me that they always get the inqury from the customer of B2B,and to search the purchase information on the B2B ,then contact them --- if possible, your company can have a try to start the paid B2B.

Thanks for your kind suggestion.
fi Zdjc Yes. Paid b2b is sure helpful than free ones. As you said, if you could well use of b2b, free b2b still makes much effective and will bring some orders for you, though it may take many days.

Test

Good or not?
&~aM+bB-t0eOo1H The criterial is whether you find customer or not regardless of the B2B or attend fair...
