Russians aren’t ready for big fairs. HK and Canton Fairs are extremely chaotic, and the Moscow Fair is so relaxed to say the least. We didn’t get a million order of mugs like we usually do, but it is still a good experience overall.
Would you believe that we have a lot of inquiries from grannies and housewives asking us if we can sell our beautiful plates to them? They are surprised that they need to buy container loads to possess any of our ranges.
At the back of my head: we didn’t come all the way from HK to sell you a US$2 dinnerplate. but you need to smile and say: nyit, export dorika (no, export only).
Anyway, I think our booth got the most attention. We really displayed our highest end ranges. We still received a lot of potential queries. Other booths didn’t even get any single name card!
The best thing that came out from this Fair: I met Lena, our translator. She’s from the Mainland who went to Moscow to study business. We’re of the same age, and she speaks satisfactory English. Finally, somebody my age!
words for the day:
strasvizya: welcome
spasiva: thank you
