My friend only put a [size=5][color=Blue]free AD [/color][/size]through alibaba,but received thousands of replies from China.The most important thing is he didn't get any tips from those replies at last,so what's the problem,maybe we should think about something. [/size][/font]yfG8BgA^

In fact, this kind of problem may happen to all the buyer.0[CI(h^VV1K'l

dp7qJ;w2A_+o I had a tast before, that I post one buying lead on the alibaba.  You know that I just posted it on the website, then, I did not do anything anymore, did not go to repost, did not go to send the inquiry.

I supposed, if I sent the inquiry to all the relevant suppliers and repost my buying leads, how many replies I would get ??

B2B which is considered to be the most authoritative trade flat, is not so useful for sellers according to this condition! this is the reason why i could receive little inquiry from it:Q everyday, i spend too much time on B2B...so, maybe i would better seek for one more useful method again...

to be frank, when there're a great many unneccessary emails , so-called rubbish letters, I'll read no and just delete.
"\3x3fa9I we must believe that customers want to get the high quality but low price goods, so tell them directly and simply, that's ok.

send again and see while further contact some of the venders by mails first.

So, maybe an easy and brief promoting letter could be the key of your business.

Ya,that's the point.

that's right. However, write a email is not so hard but the question is how to find the potential clients' email address ?
