Partn er sh i p
March 2014 marked the partnership between Tradegood, the sourcing
community that connects responsible buyers with trusted suppliers and
SOURCEDIRECT. The partnership between Tradegood and SOURCEDIRECT
provided a cost-effective solution enabling attendees to meet the right suppliers
according to their sourcing requirements. Buyers were able to experience a new
way of sourcing, where meetings with the right suppliers are pre-arranged, thus
saving time and energy.
“
We met a good number of quality-level buyers at SOURCEDIRECT
from all across the country. The level of quality buyers included
experienced buyers, importers, distributors and wholesalers who
were seeking to purchase direct from factories. Given that this is our
first time participating at SOURCEDIRECT, foot traffic was steady and
the overall results were better than we expected. We look forward
to returning in August 2014.

“
SOURCEDIRECT was a gem of a find for me at the ASD Show. I was seeking to
directly import surf related products and needed help in understanding
the import process. I setup a match making appointment and they were very
helpful and knowledgeable. They connected me to companies at the show
that could support my efforts. They also introduced me to their partners,
Tradegood, a professional company that were considerate and helpful.
