“The number of visitors is certainly higher than our expectation! We grasped this golden opportunity to meet with interested buyers of sporting goods. We also achieved our objective of meeting specialised sports industry buyers rather than general buyers.”

“We were satisfied with the buyers in terms of quality and quantity; they matched perfectly with our products. The special events, such as the industry-focused seminars, were helpful for us to collect the latest market trend data and make good use of our time at the show. We will definitely consider participating next year.”

Exhibitor
Alex Hsu, Sales Supervisor
Hong Kee Industrial Co. Ltd, Taiwan

“Unlike other trade shows, there were very few sample collectors and so we were able to meet with genuine quality buyers from different countries. We are very glad we came to the show to develop our business, and we signed up onsite to reserve our booth for 2008. See you all again!”

“We received a lot of enquiries from visitors from the Chinese mainland, Korea, Germany, Norway and the rest of the world. We also met with buyers from the Hong Kong sourcing offices of brand owners to develop new business. We are very satisfied with the result and will participate in the show again next year.”

“We were surprised to see so many buyers who were interested in our team uniforms. Sports Source Asia made it possible for us to meet many buyers from different sourcing offices. We received a positive response and feedback from buyers and will definitely consider participating next year.”

Exhibitor
Albert Woo, Managing Director
Winsome Import & Export Co Ltd, Hong Kong

"Sports Source Asia is a great opportunity for Asian suppliers to make contact with buyers from all over the world, especially those vendors from the Chinese mainland who might not have the opportunity to go direct to new customers. At SSA they can link up with companies like Li and Fung who can help them to start new business with accounts they may never have thought possible."

“Congratulations to the organisers. This has been a good start for the first edition of Sport Source Asia. I have attended a lot of trade fairs in Europe, but it was worth coming to Hong Kong to learn about the new products in the Asian market. I will come back next year for sure!”

Buyer
Siegfried Regenhardt, General Manager
R&S Handschuhvertriebs GmbH Co. KG, Germany

“Sports Source Asia provided me with an opportunity to meet with some new prospects. It was worth visiting the event to meet suppliers who could take flexible production orders in terms of quantity and mixed orders. The hall planning was well done for visitors to easily locate products of interest.”

Buyer
Paul Earle
Pearl Sports, Australia

“Hong Kong is a good location for this kind of sporting goods event due to its proximity to the Chinese mainland, where so many manufacturing plants are located. Thus, it was convenient for us to travel to Hong Kong on our way to meet with some manufacturing partners in the mainland. Furthermore, the event was systematically organised for everyone’s convenience. Great job!”
