Expand into the Eurasian market - If you don't come now, it will be taken by others next year!
- Orders are not hard to find - close customers, quick decisions, and high profits
Many Chinese exhibitors have given feedback:
- After arriving, I found out that Azerbaijan customers can place orders on the spot. Even if they don't place an order, they will contact me via wechat very soon to discuss payment and delivery.
- The customer in these two countrieshave a short decision - making chain unlike those of European and American customers who go through complex approval and compliance procedures.
- The buyers are mainly local distributors, trading companies and retailers, who themselves come to the exhibition with purchasing tasks to look for goods.
- The profit margin is higher than that in the domestic or developed country markets - for example, for a lighting product, if the export quote is 3 US dollars in the domestic market, you can quote 6 to 7 US dollars in Azerbaijan, and there are still customers accepting it.
- "The cost is not reallyhigh" - spent less money of 30,000 to 50,000 yuanto make a market feasibility study
With an investment of over 100,000 yuan, the exhibitions in Georgia and Azerbaijan are ideal venues for small and medium-sized foreign trade enterprises to train their skills and secure orders.
III. "Chinese goods are popular here" - locals recognize and do not reject them
- Chinese products are regarded as "good quality and reasonable price" locally, especially in industries such as auto parts, lighting fixtures, small household appliances, plastic products, mobile phone accessories, and daily necessities.
- They are accustomed to purchasing goods from Turkey and China, where prices are more advantageous and the sources of supply are more abundant.
- Many Chinese enterprises had already seen their products in supermarkets in Azerbaijan before coming to the exhibition - they were resold by local trading companies and no direct contact had been established yet.
- Logistics is not difficult and the customer even helps with customs clearance.
- Azerbaijan and Georgia are both "importing countries" themselves, with underdeveloped industries and strong dependence on foreign countries.
- Local buyers are accustomed to handling the import customs clearance, transportation to the store and other processes by themselves. As long as you quote the price, the goods will be dispatched from the factory.
- In terms of logistics, there are already mature land, air and sea-rail transport routes from Yiwu, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Ningbo to Baku or Tbilisi, and even container consolidation is available.
- "It doesn't matter if you don't know English" - The customer speaks Russian, but communication via wechat is fine
- Many local people can speak Russian and also understand simple English.
- Wechat and WhatsApp are highly popular. After adding contact information at the exhibition, many transactions can also be completed through translation software and picture communication.
- Some clients have even been engaged in trade with China for many years and know some Chinese themselves.
- "The earlier you come, the easier it is to make money" - the dividend period has not passed, and there is less competition
- Not many Chinese enterprises have come yet, which means that customer resources have not been divided.
- Whoever comes first will obtain the local core agent and establish the customer network first.
- Especially suitable for:
- Foreign Trade SOHO
- Small factories are looking for orders
- Wholesale export enterprise
- A start-up team that wants to try going global but has a limited budget
Why go right now?
- The market is not yet competitive, and there is a lack of customer resources. If you come early, you can secure your position.
- European and American customers are at high risk. The Middle East and Africa are in a state of intense competition. Eurasia is the next place to reap the benefits.
- Small languagespeaking countries offer great opportunities and low entry barriers - especially suitable for small and medium-sized foreign trade enterprises to do the feasibility study.
Sum up
Georgia and Azerbaijan are not "developed markets", but they are truly suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises that want to go global to take orders, control their budgets and make steady profits.
