But Buyers continue to have the exclusive
power to choose sources and commit orders. In
normal
times, Buyers know ‘Fashion’ is all
about creativity and timeliness designed around
consumer demands for quality and value. As we
approach 2005, however, Buyers are faced with
dominating
uncertainties about changes in global trade policy.
Addressing Buyer unfamiliarity in a time of uncertainty
is a formidable challenge.
Without the e-Market,
in uncertain times, Buyers will continue to
use the ‘tried
and true’, the familiar. Without the e-Market, intermediaries between
Factories in China and Buyers in the developed consumer markets will continue
to control
and burden transactions between Factories in China and Buyers by trading
on their trans-national relationships and unique familiarity. Without the
e-Market,
Buyers
and their consumers will continue to be forced pay inflated prices for textile,
apparel and home textile products made in Factories in China.
The e-Market
is the surest way to rapidly and dramatically increase transactions because
the Factories and their target customers - US and European Buyers – use
common tools and common processes to bridge language and cultural differences.
The e-Market is unique to sourcing from Factories
in China using familiar business processes that
enable Buyers to quickly and confidently find
Factories
and manage
sourcing in China.
The e-Market improves Factory and Buyer profit
and performance by enabling critical business
decisions to be made more confidently, in the
shortest
possible time
and at the lowest possible cost.
The e-Market makes the selection of Factories
in China as the ‘Sources
of Choice’ for Buyers everywhere because choosing Factories in China
is easier, safer, more familiar and transparent.
