|Ri bbon Cutti ng Ceremony
SourceDirect welcomed all buyers, exhibitors,
distinguish delegates, media and more to a
celebratory “Ribbon cutting ceremony” to kick off
the four day event. Filled with live entertainment, the
opening ceremony acknowledged all participating
countries and international delegates that were
present at the show.
fAC T ORY m atch ma k in g service }
We provide a matchmaking service on the show floor
to help align buyers with the right suppliers. This is
a great opportunity for exhibitors to highlight their
company and product lines to buyers who are looking
to source directly from factories. By providing the
necessary materials (company info, brochure, product
line sheets etc.) pre-show, our experienced sourcing
team will be able to match the right buyers to you.
|Sourci ng semi nars
Educational seminar tracks were located on the
show floor and focused on sourcing, logistics,
importing, etc. from industry experts.
C us t ome r A p p r e ci at ion N igh t
“B e e r a r o u n d th e world” }
We appreciate you. As a thank you for supporting the
show, we host an appreciation event after hours for
all our exhibiting customers to join us for drinks and
entertainment. This event is a great way for our ASD
customers to network and to see what’s going on at
SourceDirect.

AUGUST 2015 POST SHOW REPORT
what at t en de es s a i d
“This is our 3rd SourceDirect show and I can definitely see a difference
in the type of suppliers that are here. The show has grown dramatically
in size, and the quality of merchandise and price points are great. I help
source for more than 3,000 stores and my team was able to connect
with at least 12 factories here already [and it’s only day 2]. I will be
meeting with 4-5 of these suppliers in China on my next visit to further
our business opportunity.”
- Doug K., Associate Merchant - Imports Hardware Corporation
“This was our first time at SourceDirect at ASD. We absolutely
had a great experience at the show. With the help of their Factory
Matchmaking service, we discovered seven potential suppliers to source
our products. We will do our due diligence in these proceedings to
determine our next steps. SourceDirect was a great first step in looking
for international suppliers.”
- Steve W., Chief Merchandising Officer, America’s Suppliers, DBA DollarDays
“This was my first time at SourceDirect at ASD. The show was
excellent and felt like a mini Canton Fair. I found three factories and
I’m in the process of placing an order for 20,000 units of products. We
typically travel to shows in China several times a year and will now
include the SourceDirect show on our travel plans. What was also very
helpful was their Factory Matchmaking service. The team was able
to match me with several vendors on the show floor that carried my
product categories.”
- Dan D., Owner, Ionox
“This was my first time at SourceDirect at ASD. I had a great experience
at the show and found several leads for my line of business—skincare
and cosmetics from South Korea, which I will be placing orders from.
What’s great is that these companies are able to provide 30 days delivery;
just in time for Christmas selling. I am excited to see my products when
they arrive! I normally travel to China several times a year to source my
products and will now include the SourceDirect show into my travel plan
budget. I also visited the Factory Matchmaking desk where their sourcing
experts were very helpful and directed me to several other suppliers,
saving me time. Overall, I had a great first experience.”

“We had the best show ever at SourceDirect at ASD. We received an
order of $60,000 for mops on day two. The SourceDirect team was
amazing and very helpful. They walked over buyers from the Factory
Matchmaking desk that were looking for mops to our booth. We ended
up celebrating our success that night in beautiful Las Vegas. Thank you
SourceDirect. We will definitely be back next year.”
- Rina, Jinhua Zhenghong Daily Necessities Co Ltd., China
“Good show! We made several contacts and received some concrete
leads at the August 2015 event. We will be following up with them
after the show and will plan to exhibit again in March 2016.”
- Yakoob and Sons, Pakistan
Thanks to the strong support of the experienced international
SourceDirect team, our group of exhibitors had a great show at the
August 2015 event. I saw an increase in attendance for both exhibitors
and attendees and believe SourceDirect will continue to create unique
global opportunities for exhibitors and attendees.
