It’s time to follow the year end ritual. I decided to rank the favorite sites in my bookmark. So here you go, the Tradedot’s favorite B2B choices of 2007.
The best B2B portal is ALIBABA.COM.CN. I give the user experience a thumb up because of the content integrated with tons of resources, that overwhelms the domestic suppliers and buyers. This is something when pragmatism meets usability and how B2B works in China.
The best Corporation Generated Media (CGM) site is SMARTCHINASOURCING.COM. The site is designed to enhance foreign buyer experience for China market. It is a new site created with clarity of vision to build community interaction. The site demonstrates a clever practice to harvest second opinion and builds itself to be the center of influence that will drive conversion. I seldom come across CGM site in this region. SMARTCHINASOURCING.COM is a quality one.
The best B2B media blog is ASIA BUSINESS MEDIA BLOG by Paul Woodward. ASIA BUSINESS MEDIA BLOG tracks every B2B’s whatsnew in Asia. Paul is a senior B2B media analyst and a business veteran of trade show industry. His blog gives a snapshot of the market news with professional insight that you shouldn’t miss.
The best B2B lead sourcing solution is search engine. GOOGLE.COM is my choice alongside other Google’s applications like Keyword Tool and Trends.
The best B2B lead acquisition vehicle is trade event. I don’t mean a particular type of trade event. It can be a trade show or a conference as long as the organizer demonstrates a unique vision that inspires the participants, professional event management, and a good mix of content and people that brings effective return to all the attendees.
For the best trade show, my choice is China Sourcing Fair because of its best practice and media integration.
For the most inspiring event, my choice is CITY CONNECT because of its unique focus for a big picture.
The best B2B lead nurturing vehicle is email marketing and I will point you to MYEMMA.COM. Email remains the most effective marketing tool to communicate with your prospects and customers, provided that ethic goes hand in hand with professional practice. EMMA will show you how it works.
