The exhibition has come to an end, and we have gained a lot

——The 2017 Shanghai World Expo International Tire and Hub Exhibition booth Range Rover

The 15th China International TIRE EXPO (TIRE EXPO 2017) was grandly held at the World Expo Center in Pudong New Area, Shanghai from August 21st to 23rd, 2017. Our Gates Company organized a delegation to participate in this international automotive tire and hub industry event (booth No. Hall 2:2077), where we met a large number of global buyers and gained 126 target customers related to our products. Among them, over 20 reached cooperation intentions on the spot, and we obtained cooperation from over 90 customers who had various hub covers demands and were expected to establish cooperative relationships. We achieved unprecedented results.

This exhibition can be summarized with key words such as "meticulous preparation, patented new products, hub covers, warm reception, information exchange, and win-win cooperation".

Carefully prepared

At this exhibition, from the communication and exchange with partners to the layout design of special booths, from the conception of large-scale advertisements in the exhibition hall to the layout design of X-stands and promotional brochures, from the promotion planning of new products to the collection and selection of advertising slogans, from the arrangement of exhibits on the booths to the implementation of personnel division of labor, from the preparation of exhibits to the dress code, behavior language and on-site reception requirements standards of the exhibitors, We all made meticulous preparations, laying a solid foundation for the success of the exhibition.

The two huge billboards standing at the north gate of the exhibition hall, facing each other, are the powerful weapons that make our exhibition stand out at the beginning. When we visited the booths of our neighbors and introduced ourselves, the most frequently heard sentences were, "I know you make hubcaps," "I saw your billboard - it's very big," and "You should do a good job." Before the dismantling of the exhibition, a guest came from the second floor of the exhibition hall. They were doing visual inspection. He told us, "I saw your huge advertisement and knew that you made wheel covers, so I came straight to your booth."

The three-door open booth design embodies the wisdom of our constructor. It features bright colors, novel shapes and unique styles, just like a balcony in a courtyard - transparent, bright, fresh and natural, leaving a deep impression on guests.

Patented new product

Self-luminous hubcaps and air nozzle caps are our self-developed and recently launched patented products, and they are also the novel and eye-catching highlights of our Gates booth. The self-luminous hubcaps placed on the electric and hand-cranked rotating devices on the display stands and sample display cabinets have attracted a large number of domestic and foreign professional visitors and exhibitors, who have shown great curiosity and strong interest in the self-luminous hubcaps.

Mr. Huang, the agent of Changcai Tires in Thailand, immediately sent the video taken on the spot to his Moments and also sent several photos of the self-luminous hubcaps under the title of "New Product Recommendation", requesting us to be the general agent of the self-luminous hubcaps in Thailand and Myanmar.

Abdul Rasheed, a hub trader in Pakistan, Hyun-Min Lee of WOORI in South Korea, Jaleel of SUPER TYRES, a tyre manufacturer in India, H.Gamini Siriwardana of GRI in Sri Lanka They were extremely interested in the self-luminous hubcaps and added our wechat on the spot, asking us to send the relevant technical materials to their email, hoping to recommend this product to their automotive market.

A young mother, accompanied by her two young children, stopped in front of the exhibition stand, inquiring about the function of the self-luminous hubcaps. Looking at the gleaming hubcaps, the two children pestered their mother, insisting on buying them to install in their private cars.

Hub cover

The exquisitely crafted, novel and dazzling, golden hubcaps are decorative parts of car wheels, the finishing touch of car wheels, the focus of attention for wheel manufacturers and traders, and also a symbol and mark of car brands and tastes.

The various combination LIDS and bucket LIDS lined up in the exhibit cabinet are of different shapes and shine with dazzling colors, all demonstrating the meticulous craftsmanship of professional hub cover manufacturers, exuding an air of elegance and uniqueness.

Mr. Li Mingyao, the purchasing manager of the Asia-Pacific office of the American Carle Group, and Mr. Zhou Hui, the senior manager, after carefully inspecting the craftsmanship details of our hub covers, clearly stated that Carle would definitely consider cooperating with Gates in the future and proposed mutual visits in the future. Before parting, they added each other's wechat and took a group photo with Mr. Zhang.

Younas from KT Tires, an Afghan hub manufacturer, highly praised our hub cover exhibits and particularly requested to inform us by email of our company profile, product types, process flow, price details, logistics methods, delivery time, etc., that they would have a large demand for hub covers.

Wei Di from the Russian company Worldwheels is a purchaser of car wheels and speaks fluent and standard Mandarin. He purchases wheels from China for international trade and is very satisfied with our wheel covers, expressing that he will definitely purchase our wheel covers in the future. Before parting, he personally wrote his name "Wei Di" and contact number in Chinese on our guest information registration form and added our wechat. He happily said, "It's still more convenient to contact us via wechat. Please send me your product information at any time."

Patcharin Jensrisakul from SSW Company isa beautiful sales manager from Thailand. She is participating in Hall 1 of this International Tire and Wheel Exhibition. They are a professional wheel manufacturer with their own brand and the factory is located in Thailand. Because she forgot to bring her business card when she came to my booth before, before the booth was dismantled, she went straight to our booth with her own business card and brought it to us. In addition, we had another in-depth exchange on issues related to the materials, processes, assembly, delivery time, prices, delivery locations, and transportation costs of a type of wheel hub cover similar to the Nissan combination that we were entrusted to develop.

HASHIM and his team from TTL WHEELS were the last two Indian professional visitors we received before the exhibition was dismantled. To be precise, they were our buyers and also a wheel manufacturer with its own brand. As the exhibition was coming to an end, they directly entered our reception desk and took their seats. They personally took out a variety of novel and unique, lustrous combination wheel hub covers from the display cabinets, examined them one by one, studied them carefully, and took pictures to keep as souvenirs. They couldn't put them down. During the process, they kept asking us professional questions such as materials, luster, craftsmanship, foot clamping, and assembly. They showed us the photo of their hubcap LOGO again, hoping to help them redevelop and redesign it to have the same appearance and quality as our exhibits. Before parting, the Indian guest asked us for two types of wheel hub combination covers on display.

Warm reception

When you enter the door, look at your expression; when you leave, observe the sky. Smiling and welcoming, as well as warm reception, are another key to our popularity at this exhibition.

Our sales staff, with a full spirit and enthusiasm for work, remain steadfast at their posts. They greet passing visitors with smiles, enthusiastically introduce to professional visitors who are paying close attention, provide detailed and professional introductions to the exhibits, and have in-depth exchanges and patient answers with customers who have demands for wheel hub cover development and procurement. They also carefully record the specific requirements of the customers.

The booth was crowded with people coming and going in an endless stream. Professional visitors from different countries were full of curiosity and fascination with the exhibits at our booth. Introducing the company, looking for samples, taking materials, answering questions and registering customer information, the new and experienced salespeople from the foreign trade department and the sales department were busy but not chaotic, tired but not slack, demonstrating a strong sense of ownership and teamwork spirit.

Take the initiative to greet and warmly receive guests, convey the company's product information to them, and make them feel respected psychologically and have their needs met. Self-luminous wheel hubcaps and air nozzle caps are exquisite gifts specially prepared by us for the exhibition guests. The distribution of these small souvenirs conveys the company's message and enhances mutual friendship.

Information exchange and win-win cooperation

Business card collection, adding wechat, and information registration are important ways to keep in touch with guests. They serve as a bridge and link between supply and demand. We never forget to ask guests for their contact information for a moment. Our sincerity and enthusiasm won the appreciation and recognition of the guests. They cooperated actively, added wechat voluntarily, filled in the registration information by themselves, and some even came back to their booths to specially bring business cards and happily took photos with us as souvenirs. This deeply touched us.

Information exchange and win-win cooperation - this is not only our expectation but also the wish of our guests. We firmly believe that in the near future, Taicang Gates' customers will be deeply rooted in China and spread all over the world.
