We hope this program will continue to support many small - and mid- sized companies like us. ”

Diem Bui, Vice Director, Vinh Tra Pottery

“What is good about the free Program is that we can gain more trust from buyers through 'verified suppliers' manner.

We hope that the program can be extended into 6 months so we can have enough time to close sales with our prospective customers.”

Ha Le, sales manager, Saigon Pottery
 Vietnam: Lawn & Garden 2009  

“We've only heard somewhere about B2B online marketing and thought that very few suppliers making lacquerware can do this- at least true for our company's situation. Now, things have deeply changed as we are caring for our image quality, product and company profiles, and even employing a new member who is responsible for our export marketing activities. Thanks to The Keany Alliance's free program, we will now consider of building a new website to promote out products to buyers.”

Sach Nguyen, Director, Binh Minh Lacquerware
 Vietnam: Lacquerware2008  

“We wasted the first month exposure with buyers from free 4-month package offered by the Kearny Alliance, as we didn't rely on online- marketing to attract buyers, and most of orders mainly came from other sources. But it wasn't until many more serious inquires have come to us that we've realized that this is really a new potential marketing tool that we should begin to take notice of. We then decided to extend the length of the free offer by joining Global Sources Online as a paid member. We are in the final stages of closing some sales. We think this is really a long-term investment.” Eric Manh, Sales manager, My Thai  Vietnam: Lacquerware 2008
