 “Podaraci.Bg specialises in online sales business providing more than 3,000 fun gifts on our website. We also offer personalised gifts for corporate clients. We are visiting the Hong Kong fair for the first time to find original fun gifts that will make you smile. The fair features a large number of exhibitors and we have identified more than 10 potential suppliers mainly from the Chinese mainland. An initial order worth about US$5,000 was already placed with a Chinese supplier for six to eight items. This is a very good fair with so many innovative things on display. We’re so excited to have been here. We are now considering coming back next year as an exhibitor to showcase our own gift collections to expand business.”

Our company sells a comprehensive range of products covering more than 5,000 items in Spain. I have visited different international trade fairs. This is the best fair of the world in terms of finding new ideas and novelty products. So far, I have found a Taiwanese suppliers and two others from the Chinese mainland for different products such as packaging bags and power banks for mobile devices. A US$5,000 test order was placed with one of the Chinese suppliers. I love the Hong Kong fair.”

 "Exhibitions are the most important sourcing channel for us. Around 30-40% of our merchandise are sourced through the exhibition platform. Going green is definitely the market trend. As education and conservation is one of Ocean Park's core values, we are increasingly looking for eco-friendly items such as organic T-shirts, biodegradable bamboo products or merchandise with environmental and conservation messages. Collaboration is another business trend. To show our support to local design, we have stepped up collaboration with local illustrators such as Yeung Hok-tak and Siu Hak to produce merchandise."
Vania Mak, Merchandising Manager, Ocean Park Corporation, Hong Kong
