Home InStyle is a must-attend trade fair for our company. Buyer traffic is better than last year. We have met with more new buyers from the US who are looking for manufacturers outside Chinese Mainland.

We have found potential business partners from Greece, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Chinese Mainland, Taiwan and Turkey. We have already confirmed our partnership with a Hong Kong buyer who operates physical and online perfume stores and will start selling our products next week.

At this year’s fair, I have found six potential suppliers of ceramic plates, Christmas ceramic cup sets, wooden photo frames, beverage dispensers, metal food containers and cocktail shakers. I plan to place orders worth US$90,000 with three to four new suppliers after the fair.

At this year’s fair, I have found four potential suppliers of storage boxes from Hong Kong and Chinese Mainland. I plan to place an order for at least one 20-ft container of paper storage boxes with a supplier from Chinese Mainland.
