Hear what buyers say
“Our brand Presto runs 130 shops across India selling personalized gifts to customers. This is the second time I come here, where I look for gifts for name engraving, embossing or printing. The Hong Kong Gifts & Premium Fair is a truly international event where you can meet exhibitors from around the world. Thanks to a host of business matching sessions, I have talked to six exhibitors offering personalized gifts, say, a Korean supplier of photoprinters and a Malaysian producer of trophies. Highly focused on gifts, the full range of products showcasing in the tradeshow meets my expectation. India still enjoys an average of 8% GDP growth rate annually. All sectors in the consumption market are growing. The concept of personalized gifts is one of the global trends but it is something new to India. So, the outlook on this segment is bullish.” Anurag Poddar, Director, Mohan Impressions Pvt. Ltd., India
“Sears is a major retailer controlling the Sears and Kmart chains in USA. The US$160 billion gift industry in USA is the largest gift market in the world and presents a lot of business opportunities. I am visiting Hong Kong Gifts & Premium Fair for the first time to find gift-related products from jewellery items and watches to Disney products and toys. I’ve seen some interesting brands and technologies. European brands I found here tend to present themselves as more innovative whereas Asian brands seem to present themselves as more efficient. This fair really helps me meet a number of new suppliers and find a lot of appealing products. I will study all the information and evaluate carefully the details including pricing, packaging, delivery dates and the lead time before concluding deals. We focus on establishing a good and long-term relationship with a small number of right partners. This is a pretty good fair. I will definitely come again.” Vijay Talwar, President, Gift & Special Occasions, Sears, USA

“FA Ari is a family business in Bali providing a great variety of handmade wooden handicraft items for gift-giving or home decoration. Our products come in original design and natural colours, and are available at very competitive prices. Some items are made of recycled wood. Our debut exhibition here last year generated terrific results. We’ve returned this year to explore more business opportunities. The feedback has been positive. Two new buyers from USA and Germany have already placed orders worth a total of about US$25,000. A customer from Dominica we met last year has visited us again to source new items and we’ll conclude an order soon. Many other buyers from different places like Switzerland, the UK, Columbia and Peru have also approached us. We are pleased with the results and will participate in the fair again next year.” Ari Danangga, Vice Director, FA Ari Bali, Indonesia (Booth: 3C-D24)
“Starlite Visual Communication Ltd. is one of the best known printing companies based in Hong Kong. Last year, we launched our label TeamGreen at the Hong Kong Gifts and Premium Fair. A new range of playful products from paper horns, 3D wooden jigsaw puzzles to 3D paper jigsaw puzzles were introduced at the fairground and they were able to grab the attention of buyers from diverse backgrounds, say, theme parks, museums and hypermarkets. After the show, we went on to conclude some deals with buyers from Australia, Japan and the rest of Asia. Again this year, our young brand is at the Hall of Fine Design where there is a lineup of quality exhibitors showcasing unique branded products. Situated at an eye-catching area, we hope to expand our businesses in Europe and the US through the world's largest fair of its kind.” David Lam, Marketing & Sales Manager, Starlite Visual Communication Ltd., Hong Kong (Booth: 1E-E01)

Encouraged by the positive feedback from buyers, we went on to participate in the Hong Kong Gifts and Premium Fair this year. In our first presence at the show, we are located at the Hall of Fine Design which is in fact the recognition to the strengths of our brand. On the first two days, we have talked to a lot of quality buyers who are from department and retailing stores as well as representatives from corporations who want to co-develop their own corporate gifts with suppliers. So far the responses from visitors are generally good and the show meets our expectation.” Karen Chan, Marketing & Communication Executive, Mipow Limited, Hong Kong (Booth: 1D-B04)
“Kilovest is here promoting the latest silicon tote bags of our SiliBAG brand to international customers. A special highlight is our new collection WAVE that comes in trendy and eye-catching neon colours. We’ve reaped fantastic responses from buyers again. Some orders worth a total of US$30,000 were already concluded with several new buyers from the Philippines, Australia and the UK. We’ve met a buyer from Norway who expressed keen interest in representing our brand and distributing our products in the Scandinavia market. Further negotiation will be conducted with the buyer to develop business relationship. We’ve also established contacts with many potential buyers from other places such as Canada, Denmark and the Netherlands. Kilovest takes pride in our design and quality, and this international fair is a perfect place to grow business. We are able to secure new buyers every year.” Sam Yeung, Managing Director, Kilovest (HK) Ltd., Hong Kong (Booth: 1C-A38)
