The Problem With Traditional Channels:

Trade Shows Cost Too Much

$8,000-15,000 per booth, plus flights, hotels, samples. Most "leads" are just business card collectors who never order.

Trade directories Bury Your Listings

Pay-to-play algorithm means you're competing against factories spending $50k/year on P4P ads. Most suppliers get hidden in Ranking.

Meta & Google Ads Don't Convert

You're paying $5-15 per click for people who aren't even looking for suppliers. B2B doesn't work on platforms built for consumers.

Low-Quality Inquiries

"What's the price for 10 pieces?" — Time wasters with no real buying intent flood your inbox while serious buyers go elsewhere.
