From the Sourcing Exhibitors :


"This is the second time that I have participated in Sourcing at MAGIC. Last time I gained a lot of orders that I am still doing business with. This show there was several inquiries about my company and I am happy to say that I received a one million piece on-site order. There are also commitments from buyers to visit my factory. I am really impressed that MAGIC has created a lot of new things for Sourcing buyers."


Syed Mehedy Hossain, Young Star Sweater


"We have exhibited in Sourcing at MAGIC five times in the past 3 years. There has been a commendable response, which continuously brings us back to Las Vegas. The February 2009 show was no exception. The contacts we established will certainly help us grow further and help us continue fighting through these turbulent times in our global economy."


Amit Jain , Vice President (Allianc es),Indiamart.com


"We had very strong traffic in our booth all four days of the show. There was a good mix of larger, medium and smaller accounts; and, they were all seriously interested in doing business. Possibly our best MAGIC yet."


David Stone, President/CEO, Solid Stone Fabrics'


"We enjoyed our time at Sourcing at MAGIC. We made lots of new contacts and traffic was steady throughout the four days of the show."


Ray Ferriola, Owner, Donray Printing

 

"Sourcing at MAGIC gives me a great opportunity to meet big buyers of USA, Mexico, Europe and more!"


Jae HyUn Lee, Lothem Leather Collection


From the Attendees:


"Thanks for all of your coordination on our behalf for the VIP meetings! It was absolutely a worthwhile effort and time spent. The allotted "speed" meeting time was adequate to get a sense of the potential fit between our business and the factory-to assess random products, review order minimums/lead times, development capabilities, social accountability standards, communication style, and other core introductory facts. Of the meetings you arranged, more than 50% led to my return visit to the vendor booth, and some with follow-up email dialogue subsequent to the show."


Linda R. Levine, Director Global Supply Chain/QA, Vantage Apparel


"I found quite a few new resources. I really took the time to analyze the suppliers."


Lloyd Parks, Direct or Global Sourcing, Alstyle Apparel


"Sourcing at MAGIC went extremely well and I found a lot of good quality exhibitors for categories we were looking for and even some that we didn't intend on sourcing, but fell into. The Matchmaking Service was absolutely beneficial as it saved me a lot of time. I will definitely be using it again next show!"


Chris Holen, Sourcing & Procurement Supervisor, Fifth Sun


"To meet with so many suppliers in one day was extremely valuable and provided great cost savings to us."


David Wing, Sourcing, Team work Athletic Apparel
