Shenzhen RuiChengFeng Electronics Co., Ltd
Ping Wong, Sales Manager
“We have been looking more efficient ways to expand our business to global market. That’s
how I joined EC21 premium membership. As a premium member of EC21, we've had top
ranking in every search result and it has brought many visitors to my website. My incoming
inquiries have been increased significantly since then…”
SHENZHEN ET TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD
William, Sales Manager
“We knew that if we need to increase our business opportunities, we have to appear in search result
pages more often and stay ahead of our competitors. Priority listing was a great solution for us to get
more business deals. We were able to let buyers catch up our products and selling leads more often in
the search result pages after we became a Trade OK member. “
Yangcheng Zhengda Science & Technology Co.,Ltd.
Mr. Kevin Xu, Sales Manager
“From the beginning of 2009, we had some great chances to cooperate with 9 new buyers from EC21.
On January 21st, 2009, a buyer from Colombia placed a trial order of 500 units for a product named
'Snore Relief' where was listed on the first page of the search results….. Until now, they totally imported
32,000 units from us. We believe that Trade OK membership brought us more business opportunities
because our products were always listed higher than the free members on both category and keyword
search results.”
