We are a young company as far as pets products are concerned, so this event is an important platform for us and the reason we have been exhibiting here for the third consecutive year. Last year we found some good customers from Asia at this event and we also made contact with some big European customers, and we are hoping that this year we can do business with Europe. Already this time we have had enquiries from Japanese buyers as well as from the Chinese mainland. The fair’s organisation is great; we also use the HKTDC online business matching service – we’ve been able to develop very successful business with a United States customer through it, for example.

“We target fashion-conscious buyers who want pet products that match their own style and their home decor – most of our customers are in Europe, but there is great potential in the pets market around the world at the moment. We joined World of Pet Supplies in 2009 because we knew that the organiser would put a lot of effort into fair promotion. I made many more contacts than I expected. This time I’ve met buyers from South East Asia, India, Middle East, and many from Japan, plus the Chinese mainland. It is interesting to meet the mainland customers as they tell me they like Hong Kong products because of the innovation, technology and design.”

“Our pet toys and accessories are made in the Chinese mainland, but our designs originate in Japan under our own brand called Everyday Holiday, and are intended to be a lot of fun. Until now we have only sold our lines in Japan, but now we wish to expand, hence our participation here. The pet industry is getting bigger all the time. We’ve received many enquiries at this show, from Europe, Asia, South America and the Chinese mainland in particular, and have received orders here. One customer has placed an order worth US$20,000, plus we have also taken test orders to the value of US$30,000 for a chain store, which has the potential to go much further.”

I’ve come to World of Pet Supplies to look for all kinds of products for pets, such as dog houses, collars, medicines, and even dog footwear, for the Indian market. This is my first visit – I found out about the event through electronic direct mail I receive from the HKTDC, and checked out the potential on the organisation’s website. It is likely that I will place orders here – I’ve seen many interesting items and new ideas, including dog training products and raincoats. Everything – products and the fair organisation – is very good here!

“We have an annual turnover of A$12 million, of which most of it now comes from our new online business. So I’m here to source lightweight products that can be easily sent through the mail. HKTDC provided me with a list of 30 suitable exhibitors before the fair through the business matching service, and I’d say I’ve visited about 20 of them. I’ve found very interesting items such as pop-up tents and swimming pools for pets, dog grooming brushes, pet houses and toys. The organisation of the fair is excellent and I will definitely be back.”
