Hear What Buyers Say |

“This is my third-year visit to the fair. I am focusing on advertising and corporate premiums, personal and well-being gifts as well as tech items this time. The fair is very well organised and I can find everything all under one roof here. One of the best things about this exhibition is that every staff is well-trained and always ready to help. I am collecting samples and catalogues from suppliers. I expect to place up to US$3 million in orders after the show.”
Jolly Jose, Director, eYantra Industries Limited, India
“With a history of 43 years, Hansen & Berry is a wholesaler of a wide range of souvenirs, promotional items and other accessories. The fair is a major event for us and it is a lot more than buying products here. We are sourcing products and materials as well as ideas, trends and inspiration in Hong Kong. We also enjoy the interactions with suppliers and meaningful exchanges with industry players from all over the world. This year, we’ve found some new and interesting items such as mugs, glassware, medallions, battery-powered fans and solar products. We will place orders for these products and discussions are being conducted for more items with potential suppliers.”
Nive Hansen, Director, Hansen & Berry Ltd, New Zealand
“Talbot has 125 years of experience in the advertising and promotional products industry. We currently have 105 sales executives with an annual turnover of over US$20 million. I visit the fair every year. This time, I am looking for promotional and executive gifts. This is an excellent show with a strong mix of high-quality exhibitors and products with good design. People are very professional and knowledgeable at the show. I enjoy doing business here”
Steven W. Levschuk, President, Talbot, Canada
“Trend Present has been engaged in the business of corporate and promotional items since 1979. We deal with corporate clients across Europe. I’ve been visiting the fair since 2000. We can find almost everything about gifts and premiums here as most suppliers from all over the world are exhibiting their products in Hong Kong. This is a very important trade event for our business. Every year, we find something interesting and place orders accordingly.”
Ralf Hinterleitner, Managing Director, Trend Present, Austria
“Village Vanguard operates about 380 bookstores in Japan offering books, comics, magazines, cards, toys, stationery and other gift items. We also have three stores in Hong Kong. This is our fourth-year participation in the fair, which is an important place for our business. The timing of the event is perfect for us and we can see so many different products at the same time. We are very impressed with new ideas and designs in Hong Kong. This year, we’ve found a number of good items with about 20 exhibitors including key chain, luggage tag, gift sets, stuffed toys and a camera-shaped mug. We’ve placed orders for some products and will close more deals with the suppliers. The amount of orders will be about US$5,000 per supplier.”
Hiroaki Yamada, Village Vanguard Co., Ltd, Japan
