Yi Dong Umbrella Increases Its Revenue By 150% In The Past Three Months

Although Asian umbrella occupies 70% market share of the whole world, there are still many manufacturers who are not able to penetrate into international market because of geographical restraint. Yi Dong Umbrella was one of those manufacturers. However, three months ago, the situation has been gradually changed.

Yi Dong Umbrella has 20-year experience in producing umbrellas. It has a big factory located at Shen Zhen, China, and two factories at Fujian, China. So far, it has more than 500 employees and is specialized in producing different kinds of umbrellas. It is also the only one manufacturer in the world who produces "Square Beach Umbrella".

Through GCBnet's network in New York, Yi Dong has successfully acquired an important and big distributor to be its business partners and dealers in New York. The distributor mainly distributes Yi Dong's beach umbrella, regular folding umbrella and fashion umbrella especially its "Square Beach Umbrella" and its old-fashion umbrella series (altogether 14 styles) with famous outstanding pictures. GCBnet helps Yi Dong to settle down the partnership issues, like the contract and the payment methods, with the distributor. Meanwhile, with the support from GCBnet, Yi Dong starts to do the exports business by itself.

Consequently, in the past three months, Yi Dong has already received more than US$300K purchasing orders. Comparing with the revenue in the previous 3 months, the revenue has been increased by 150%.

Mr. Paul Li, the General Manager of Yi Dong, said, "since we post our product information on GCBnet, we have got a lot of foreign buyers to ask for quotation. It greatly increases our exposure to the world. Certainly, it also brings us a lot of actual profits. Thanks God!"

"At the beginning, I really can't believe that GCBnet will provide the free Internet service to our company. However, since it is totally free of charge, I still try it out. Later, after receiving the quotation request from GCBnet and getting the business opportunity, I start to appreciate what they have done for my company", said Mr. Li.
