One of the affects of Covid19 is that Canton Fair didn’t take place this Spring. This is the largest and longest running trade show in China that happens twice a year – once in Spring and once in the Fall.
However for the first time in over 100 years, the Canton Fair has gone online. The organizers will host a virtual Canton Fair starting June 15. Supposedly they will feature live streaming from exhibitors from the trade show.
This is the first time they’re hosting it and how well it will work is anyone’s guess. But if you are in the process of sourcing a product it’s worth a shot to visit the Canton Fair online here: https://www.cantonfair.org.cn/en/buyer
If you do try it, I’d be curious how it well it worked for you!
PBS made an excellent documentary on Amazon Empire: The Rise and Reign of Jeff Bezos. It was a fascinating look at how some of the top executives at Amazon operate which helps affect and explain the seller experience we feel as 3rd party FBA sellers.
Also there’s a behind the scenes look at how FBA warehouses operate and the working conditions that are needed to create the Prime delivery experience.
