B2B Sites Battle for Canton Fair, Alibaba Stays Outside

"Sir, this is our customer information. Could you please give me your business card, and then you can get our customer information for free." On the first day of the opening of the Canton Fair on April 15th, as soon as you step out of Pazhou Station of Guangzhou Metro, you will be stopped by promoters in various colored uniforms.

If you hand over your business card, the promoters will give you a set of so-called supplier information for free. Some of them will pester you to fill out a form before giving you the information. The form mainly includes the industry you are engaged in, your contact address, and your product requirements. These are on-site promoters from various B2B websites, such as the yellow-uniformed Wenbi Network, the orange-hued Hong Kong Trade Development Network, and the red-clad Made-in-China Network.
