Companies have come to the realization that auditing adds both value and improvement to organizational operations and financial performance.

It's very wise for you to verify your partners before the deal. On the one hand, there are more and more scams among international trade, and trade risks exist in every step. The verification company checks out countless scammers every year in China and abroad.

Most online B2B companies will affiliate with verification companies to provide the services. EasyTrade.com has partnered with SMR and CoFace to provide the Credit Report, Financial Report, and Company Asset Verification to all members. If the suppliers pass through the verification successfully, they will give the greater confidence to world buyers.

How to Export to China?

As world economy and market are down-turn, China is likely the only country who can recover quickest than the other countries. The Chinese government has encouraged pushing up the demand in the local market as export market are still sluggish. They will also have to keep the GDP growth at 8% level minimum. Compared to other countries, e.g. US and European countries, are still trying to stop the declining economy and the financial industry, China has apparently become a very strong economical entity. Recently, Chinese has voiced out the new policies of buying US bonds and the attitudes on currency rate of RMB again USD. So China is the next after Unite State.

Export to China has been hot in recent years. How to start and carry on? Here are some tips and procedures.

There are 3 major ways whereby one can export the goods to China:

• Distribute your goods directly
• Establish a joint venture
• Find a qualified agent or distributor with a vast sales network

Before exporting your goods into China or choosing a Chinese partner, it is advised for you to conduct the market research and due diligence. Companies should be mindful of possible problems in export rights, regulations and intellectual property rights protection. If the company decides to distribute the goods directly, then it will have to be aware of the distribution rights and understand the licensing process in China. The flow of export is as:

• Filing and registration of foreign trade operators
• Appointment of foreign trade cooperation as import-export agent
• Foreign-invested Commercial Enterprises handles own export not required to apply
• Customs registration. Customs registration is not required if agent is appointed to complete customs declaration
• Application for export quotas and licenses prior to customs declaration. It is applicable to commodities subject to quota and licensing control
• Signing of foreign trade contract
• Completion of foreign exchange formalities
• Application for inspection of export. Commodities subject to inspection and quarantine
• Customs formalities (customs declaration, tariff payment, inspection and delivery)
• Verification and cancellation formalities

Distributing your goods directly may be a complicated and time-consuming process as one may not be familiar with China’s business practices and government regulations. Application for distribution rights and establishment of own distribution channels will be difficult. Chances of failure will be higher as a result. Establishing a joint venture would be a better option. Establishing cooperation with a local partner can allow you to have faster access into China’s market and with the local partner’s knowledge and experiences of China’s market, your success rate will be higher and goods can be better distributed. Acquiring help from a local partner does give you many advantages in penetrating the China’s market. A side issue to note will be that joint venture usually requires large amount of capital and China’s government may have capital control towards outflow of funds should one transfer his/her funds back to his/her home country. The government will also need to assess the potential economic benefits that it can bring to China, e.g. does it create job opportunities for the local population before approving it.

For small and medium sized companies, the best way to enter the China market is through a reputable or well-known agent or distributor. These companies are located regionally and typically have large sales network. Thus they will be able to have a better understanding of the China’s market and can provide assistance in developing distribution strategies in China and the region. In this way, new products can be launched easier into the market and distribution network can be set up rapidly without any problems dealing with distribution rights and licensing.

Besides all these, the most important step that one must take before exporting his/her products into China will be have a deep understanding China’s customs, regulations and controls towards imported goods. A sound market entry strategy is also necessary in order to penetrate the China’s market. An assessment of your goods’ strengths, weakness, opportunities and threats can allow you to promote and distribute your products better. Understanding the profitability and marketability of your products in the China’s market is thus vital before exporting your products into China.

The real-time communication for Suppliers & Buyers on B2B platform

B2B web portal is a place for suppliers and buyers to exchange the information so as to conclude the trade. Most B2B websites provide the offline communication for the member. That is the suppliers / buyers have to click on the “Contact Now” button and then send the messages. After that, they have to wait for the reply from another side. In this case, the contact might be lost because the email address might be wrong or they never check the Inbox on the B2B platform. So how to resolve this problem? Let them telephone call each other. This will increase the cost and take the time.

I think the best solution is to enable the Internet Messenger (MSN, Skype, AIM, GTalk, Yahoo! Messenger) on the B2B web and pages. All internet messengers (IM) have web page embedding features. You can program the internet messengers scripting and trigger them on the page. So if the members store their IM type and account in B2B websites. Once they go online and open the IM, their IM status will be indicated as “Online” in B2B web page. If the buyer is interest in your product, he can trigger to call with you in IM, other than send you the message. It is perfect that your potential buyer can contact you in real-time. He does not go to other suppliers at the moment but chat with you for more information about your products.

You can also speak to buyers via the talk feature in IM. Almost all IM have talk features and they are free. So you will save a lot of time and money. Also the all the chatting history can be saved in IM file base. You can review them at any time if you want to recall something from your memory.

In the internet world, we should fully utilize the automatic tool to increase the work efficiency. We won’t totally relay on it but they have become must-have in our business operation. In addition the B2B websites market your products worldwide. You should grasp all opportunities come from there. The combination of B2B and IM is wonderful. It will become main stream in the global trade.

B2B Trade Portal and DIY Web Development

Most B2B trade portals launch the showroom service for their members. However it cannot totally replace the idea company wants to have the own website. As corporate owners only concentrate on there own industries and products, the web development is an out of box work. They don’t have web designer, programmer, and editor. It is impossible that the company can build the website by their own. So they have to use web design company by the charge in not cheap in development and maintenance. In addition they have to delegate a person to maintain the contents of website. It is costly for many companies especially it is difficult time now. So the B2B portal and the self-service web development become effective and low-cost method to build the website.

A few years ago, most people think that they can run e-Business after build the website. The picture is so beautiful in their mind. The e-Business will bring the huge income to their sales. However they ignore the competitiveness of product and price, marketing and promotion, and professionalism. If there is no update and promotion for the website, the website runs like orphan. So the internet marketing, web content update, and page design become vital to your website. After B2B e-Commerce companies provides all-in-one service in B2B e-Commerce, web development, and online marketing. The process of all-in-one service is as:

1. Register as member in B2B portal and get approval
2. Upload your products into B2B portal as more as possible

From Social Media Network to Business Relationship

How to Start?
In social media network (SMN) site, you get to know someone you think they will be your business partners. First of all, you profile and experience must be well prepared in SMN site. If you could get the recommendations from your working or business partners, that's nice. It makes you more positive and let other people feel more confident when communicate with you. Secondly you have to do, searching the keywords, e.g. “Corporate Gifts”, “e-Books”, “e-Commerce Development”, and etc. If the location is crucial, you should also input the location name into keyword box. After obtained the search result, you have 3 methods to link with them:
1. Leave them the message directly and state your reason of contact
2. Get someone you know already in the SMN site who can introduce you to the target
3. List what you are buying or selling on SMN site. Let the other people contact you

Contact and Send the Message
I would suggest first 2 methods because you need to contact the potential clients proactively and show your sincerity of doing business with them. The following example is the message you write to the target:

Dear Mr. ABC,

How are you?

This is Mr. Johnson Harry from ABC Crystal Gifts Ptv. Company. I come across your profile in the XXXX.com and would like to build up the business relationship with you. We are a crystal gift manufacturer based in Hong Kong. We supply the wide range of crystal products to our clients in Europe and United States, e.g. wedding gifts, corporate gifts, desktop items, house decorations, and so on. Currently we are offering the big discount sale on our products. Most items are 50% off at its original price. Please see the our online showroom in EasyTrade.com and ask for quote directly their. I will respond you within 24 hours. Thanks for your attention!

Yours sincerely,

Johnson Harry

Follow Up
Send the message to them and wait for the response. If your target does not respond you within 2 weeks, he might not be interested in your products. However you should make it clear and send another gentle reminder. For example,

Dear Mr. ABC,

Following up my last message to you, are you interest in our products and big discount offer? If you have any special requirements or need additional services from us, please let me know and I will try my best to meet your requirements. Your early response is appreciate. Thanks!

Reegards,

John Harry

No matter you send the message to the target directly or post your offer on SMN site, you have to show your products online and the e-Commerce features with online catalog is highly recommended.

B2B e-Marketplace Portal and Social Media Network

The B2B e-Marketplace comprise of large amount of B2B traders or marketers. They inquire, buy and sell daily on the platform. However there is more than just buying and selling on the platform. For example, how the buyers can get the suppliers those who understand their appetites and personalities in addition to the product’s specification or payment terms. So the social media network is a supplement to bridge this gap. Although the viral marketing and social media are quite popular now, most of them are limited to B2B marketing or message posting.


Turn the Buzz Words to Real Business
We hear a lot of buzz words like “B2B”, “social media network”, “internet marketing”, “viral marketing”, and etc. B2B e-Marketplace is definitely separated from social media network. However the internet traders are using both to sell and trade. I believe if combining B2B e-Marketplace and social media network, the new selling power will be generated and more reliable business network will be established.

In social media network, we learn the background of the person you are dealing with in the business, including his education, the positions he held before, experience, interest, his group, daily activities, and etc. In B2B marketplace, we know what he is selling or buying, his products’ information, his dealing records (enquires, invoices, and etc). If both are integrated, we can see the whole picture of the person you are dealing with. As an Internet trader, I am sure you not only want to know the company introduction and product specification. You also intend to understand his all details. If you can do that, more reliable and securer business partnership can be built through restrict selection of business partners.

The communication on activities update is another weakness of B2B portal. In tradition, you might contact your business partner occasionally or when you do the business with him. If he can publish the authenticated message or daily activities online, you will get those updates almost real-time. It will be helpful to both parties and let the people in his group know the updates. For example, he will take 3-week off for holidays in Caribbean Sea. He just places this update online and all people in the group will know it. So you or any people can do the same thing through social media network.


What If the Other Business Persons I Really Want to Know
For more B2B Portal, you can send the message directly to the person or company you really want to know and wait for their reply. So all others business people to you like strangers. In social media network, you can join any group. You can get introduced to a stranger through the personal you know already. You can also write your proper introduction and profiles and let other people stick to you.


Conclusion
It would be a new bomb if B2B e-Marketplace portal and social media network are successfully integrated. We promises to develop the B2B e-Marketplace Portal in many new rooms and brings wonderful experience to our members.
