IndustrialSAVER Launches New Industrial Textiles Online Auction & Marketplace
November 18th, 2008It’s been a very busy week here at IndustrialSAVER. Our CEO, Donald LaBelle gave order back in September that we needed to create a new e-marketplace by the end of November for buyers and sellers of industrial textiles and allied products. Apparently IndustrialSAVER has been getting a lot of requests from textile manufacturers and exporters as well as importers for a new marketplace to help them find buyers and suppliers in their industry. Well, we worked very hard over the last two months and I’m proud of all my colleagues for getting it done so quickly. Thus, I introduce to you our all new Industrial Textiles Online Marketplace & Auction where companies come to post and explore offerings for all kinds of industrial textiles and fabrics such as geotextiles, technical textiles, yarn and thread, cotton, felt, burlap, canvas, polyester as well as allied products such as textile dyes & chemicals, sewing machines and other equipment.
RFQ’s From Buyers Of Industrial Textiles
IndustrialSAVER’s new auction and marketplace is not only destined to be a leading platform to buy, sell and trade textile products. It also provides access to a Live RFQs from companies seeking to buy industrial textiles and equipment. In fact, IndustrialSAVER enables companies sourcing for textile products to post their demand on the site free-of-charge as well submit RFQ’s to qualified suppliers on MFG’s online manufacturing marketplace at the link above. Indeed, IndustrialSAVER can save a lot of money for importers, apparel and rug manufacturers and other buyers of textile materials and manufacturing equipment. Why contact one or two suppliers of textile products when you can submit your RFQ to dozens of companies that will compete for your business. Best of all, the entire RFQ process can be done on-line so you won’t have to deal with pushy salespeople or other time consuming matters when it comes to sourcing. Visit IndustrialSAVER’s Online Industrial Textiles Marketplace today and submit your RFQ.
Selling Industrial Textiles On IndustrialSAVER
It’s important to clarify IndustrialSAVER is both an Auction and a Classifieds website that is integrated with one another. Thus, just like any other online auction, potential buyers of your textile products are able to submit a bid directly to your company. However, unlike other auction sites IndustrialSAVER does not post bids publicly. Instead, all communication between the buyer and seller is done privately through the site’s email system. Users are also able to utilize live chat if they choose to do so by inviting the other party to participate. At this time IndustrialSAVER does not have its own live chat feature but we do offer access to such tools from 3rd party sources. Nonetheless, if you’re serious about selling textiles on IndustrialSAVER for commercial and industrial applications, you’ll find your offering will get some nice exposure. And since it cost you nothing to post your offers you can’t beat the price.
However, don’t think just posting a single offer or two is going to generate a ton of business. IndustrialSAVER is designed as a social networking site so it requires some effort on your part to connect with potential customers. Therefore, post ‘client-centered’ offers along with relevant photographs. What I mean by client-centered is offer something of real value that grabs the attention of the prospect. Remember, prospective customers have a lot of choices on where they can go to purchase industrial textiles. Make sure they understand why you are the best choice. I’m not talking about marketing hype either. Communicate your message in a way that is direct, honest and focuses on the benefits for the buyer. Once you master that you’ll be amazed of the responses you get from your offers. Why? Because I guarantee posting client-centered offers is exactly what 99% of suppliers fail to do.
