Lac Viet Handicrafts Export Co., Ltd (LAVIHEX CO., LTD) is considered one of the leading companies specializing in designing, manufacturing and exporting handicraft products in Vietnam for global customers, especially on such markets as North America, Europe, Australia and New Zealand, South Africa, Middle East, etc. Our main products include: vases, baskets, bowls, trays, and planting pots. The products are designed according to customers' requirements with different specifications. The produces are made in an environmentally friendly process, with natural materials such as rattan, bamboo, silk, coconut shell, which brings unique and diverse colors and styles as well as distinct characteristics. Therefore, each house, each apartment, each office will have a new image. Under the hands of skilled craftsmen and artisans, our produces are completed even the smallest details and strictly controlled from the material selecting step to packaging step.

From the very first operation days, we have known Alibaba through advertising channels and registered a free member account there. After a few months, we got the first customers as well as the first orders. We have recognized that joining Alibaba is a right decision and it will bring great results to our business. With the revenue gained after the first order, as well as the goal of expanding the market, intensifying the produce promotion and reaching more buyers, we upgraded to the Gold Supplier account. So far, Lac Viet has been Gold Supplier member for 3 years and the company works very effectively on Alibaba with many inquiries as well as quality customers.

Since upgrading to Gold Supplier member, I have felt a huge change because we receive daily orders, different from the free membership - only one inquiry in 3 months. On average we receive 50-80 inquiries per month, 20% of them become contracts. About 80% of our sales are via Alibaba. The main export markets of Lac Viet are: USA, Australia, Germany, France, Israel, Kuwait, and UAE. In order to increase sales, we have added another Gold Supplier account to double the number of inquiries we have received; thereby contributing to accelerate sales in 2016 and the next years towards the goal of $1,000,000 per year. One of our success secret is that our produces have competitive price and design as well as good quality posts, fast and timely contact with customers, so we have high display rank.

In my opinion, as a Gold Supplier you have to face and compete with many strong opponents. However, this is also the opportunity to develop a development strategy and long-term orientation. Through Alibaba, you will have many chances to work with all customers around the globe. Alibaba is not only a global trading trend, but also a form of intelligent business and money saving.
