Nowadays buyer from all over the world communicate through online medium. Social media, VOIP, IM, email and video conference are the important communication medium between supplier and buyer.
The flexibility of sourcing using B2B website is the main reason why more and more people starts to source their products online.
Among famous B2B websites for buyers from all over the world are Alibaba.com, Madeinchina.com and HKTDC.com. Those are the pioneer of B2B website.
From the parent website like Alibaba.com, they establish website like Aliexpress.com for those who want to purchase smal quantity of supply. The price is definitely different between those two.
While for some people who can understand and read in Chinese, they have an advantage to use weibao.com, another subsidiary of Alibaba.com. From my observation products sell in weibao.com are slightly cheaper than in Aliexpress.com
HKTDC.com is also a prominent B2B player. With their excessive marketing recently in Facebook and Adwords, many supplier start to visit their website. Surprisingly HKTDC has established themselve long time ago
From a physical statutory governing body for traders from Hong Kong, they now expand their existence online by offering powerful B2B solution.
In order to compete with Alibaba, HKTDC also provide small buyer zone in their B2B website namely http://small-order.hktdc.com/
Thus allow buyer to have more option in sourcing products in small quantity. The best part about HKTDC is they also organize their own trade and fair.
