Tips for the Trade Show These tips are applicable for any China Trade Expo in 2018. They allow guaranteed good impression and ensure that you make the most of your visit. ▫

Reach early, since there will be less public, it will be easier to get the attention of the suppliers

▫

Try to take an early or a late lunch to avoid the long queues

▫

Talk to the senior most person present in the stall because they hold more decision making power. A sales manager would be enough.

▫

The afternoon of the last day is the worst time to talk as everyone would be closing down and nobody would be interested in talking business.

▫

Combine your trip with other appointments like other trade shows and factory visits.
