Bahamian companies looking to initiate new business relationships by taking advantage of the global business environment can get a good start on the new Bahamas Business-to-Business Trade Portal and B2B Marketplace.
The International B2B Trade Portal is offered by BahamasB2B.com to facilitate the exchange of goods, services and information between sellers and buyers of the presented products or services.
The buyers are all businesses looking to initiate new business relationships. Any visitor of the B2B site is free to navigate the products, services and information available. In order to use any of the services the visitor/prospective buyer is requested to register on the Bahamas B2B website. The information collected is the minimum needed to establish business relationships.
The high-end features of the international trading portal provide a sound foundation for global trade. Companies that do not yet have their own web site can gain an immediate web presence by creating an online company profile. Even companies that already have an existing website can benefit. By creating a company profile and linking it to their website, they can drive more traffic to their existing site.
Finding global trading partners is simple. The listings are organized in multilevel categories for convenient browsing of product catalogs, company profiles, sell offers and buy offers.
The convenient image upload feature allows users to create image galleries for their products, sell and buy offers and upload logo graphics for their company profiles.
The complete internal messaging system and website contact forms allow interested parties to respond to offers while keeping email addresses private. Each member receives their own private inbox/outbox for messages and an online address book for their contact list. Stop unwanted messages with a customized block list.
Contact sellers and buyers from around the globe in a secure environment. Receive trade alerts by email. Interface with your existing import/export business.
Users may select from three membership levels: Bronze, Silver and Gold; with different levels of services. Bronze membership is free to all local and international companies but has limits to the number of offers that can be posted. Bahamian companies receive a free upgrade to the Silver membership level, a $49 value. Gold membership allows the highest number of offers that can be posted, in an unlimited number of categories.
An extensive Members Control Panel allows members to edit and maintain their company profile at any time. Members can post, edit, remove or relist buy and sell offers and catalog items using the WYSIWYG editor for HTML formatted item descriptions.
Buyers can inquire about multiple products at the same time using the customizable Inquiry Basket – like a shopping cart but for inquiries. A “favorites” list management system makes finding formerly retrieved offers and catalog items a snap.
Gold member listings receive front page display and special exposure.
The advanced search feature allows searching by keywords, categories, posting dates, countries etc.
Registration is free. With the easy-to-use interface, it takes only a few minutes to register, create a company profile and post a few buy or sell offers. Taking advantage of the global business environment is now as easy as visiting the Bahamas Business-to-Business Trade Portal and B2B Marketplace.
