I'm a free member of tradekey.com

I just registered this b2b website last month which is recommended by some FOBers here.r8H/rex)I]'Rf
Luckily, I got three inquiries from it and several latest buyers' related information by trade alerts function. For my product- textile accessories, it may be a good platform so far. But I'm still not familiar with the free resouces of tradekey which I could develop.O?8~h'o;bHp

Hey, jerry. I have taken a start. Don't you have something to say?

tradekey is indeed a good B2B, but at present, as a free member of it, who can not pulished the goods any more. Why? Anyone know how i shuold exclude to be a paid member?

if you wanna promote on tradekey.com,it's better for upgrade to silverkey member.Free member dont work well.

hi,mazy)bU^3zUnF
i am very sorry for late response because i only notice your thread till nowD/A}j5tS3z6G
and i  appreciate your great interests on tradekey very much"p X? d&}
i will try my best to answer your question one by one]9JQ2EZ
about your first question that you  couldn't directly link to your  company page in the member area,so you mean when you click your company's website and you can't open that address,yes?and you have to paste your company's  website on the URL column then you can open it.that is correct and you can't open your company's home page from the link on the tradekey

about your second question  you have to repost your sell offers every 7 days after you posted successfully. But the product information looks like couldn't update again.
~N!VvW in fact,you can update your sell offer's information but you can't  change the sell offer's date and you also can't change your product's rangk on your same products's sell offer list
,V$i+w7J Y it is the same case with the products.$Zu(D)c"S-K3^;t
  when you update your products information and sell offer informations,i hope you can add more keywords on every posted product  information so that the potential buyer maybe easier to get in touch with your products and your company.even the simple form and plural form can result different search result4Pc#iB L/Yl3|7JG
the last important question is that please don't delete any posted products on the products column and the sell offer colume.if you delete one of them,then you will have one less chance to post your product on the product column or sell offer column"o \E;bl'CHOG

i will go on answering mazy's following question:
ma1B Y&s m6} O8w maybe there is a  link on the top of the right colume,you can switch the language from English to chinese,japanese,arabic,etc.but we often pay attention to the english version of it and i also don't know too much about the chinese version of it

about your fourth question How to make your information be easily seeked out besides updating sell offers from period to another and the suitable keywords.
z x;r|.aiE"h#L"i i think you can give more introduction about your posted products and be a premium member of it.and you shoulld also offer more information about your company profile in that case when the potencial buyers brownse your website on tradekey then the detailed introduction will make them to believe that your company is a reliable and powerful  company and they would like to do business with such ones

about your last question Tradekey's main products and main marketsi8nbf b/iU@Q
you know tradekey is not a professional website but a combined website like alibaba,MIC,etc[0dj9o8Tyq2[q#C c
so there are many kinds of products on it and it main market is on North American,Middle east,Europe, south acian,etc
%]2hD9i{6V i hope all of my answers have  made you understand more about tradekey z&f TBz{(qm
anyway,if you have any other question,please feel free to ask me

Thanks for your good suggestion. I got it and one more doubt here.7nv u0T2~
_v"m m E"A1b^
What's the difference between "sell offers" and "product column". Could I think the former is for updating my product information and then making its rank advanced every 7 days; the latter is just for customers get some information and understand my product.:o

Reply #14 mazy's post

hi,mazy.thanks for your question once again!
em0h'P[XJMN firstly i would like to talk about the difference between "products"column and"sell offer" column.and many B2B website has such two columns we can check this^jJz~7[? }K
and i will take MIC for example,as a free member on MIC.we can post 10 products and 10 sell offers,as a silver member on MIC,we can post 50 products and 50 sell offers.as a golden member on MIC,we can post 100 products and 100 sell  offers.we can check alibaba,if you are a gold member on alibaba.you can post unlimited products and unlimited sell offers.
u
\7O,O#E$m*[~ so in the column of "products"and "sell offer".we can both posted our products information on it.the main difference between that is some customer wolld like to find the supplier from the column of "products"while other would like to search the suppliers from the column of "sell offers" so we can both post our products information on the column of "products"and "sell offer"

maybe it will need some time.you know the B2B website is only a platform which need the user on it to make full use of it.and wait for the potential buyers to contact them.
N(e&F:I/t*V and no website can ganrantte that they can make sure to give their members an order
%e(T[D[&X6j for there are so many reasons to effect if a member can get an order from the website or notym/`#Q#_4L
