Buying Tools

Post a New Buying Lead?

A Buying Lead is an invitation to suppliers to send you a quotation. To send a Buying Lead:

1. Sign in at My B2Bface, click Buying Tools and then click Post a New Buying Lead
2. Fill in the Buying Lead form with all essential information including your desired product, price and amount
3. We suggest that you attach a photo of your desired product
4. Click Submit

Subject: A clear and concise subject will increase your chances of being found by the right Suppliers. Please keep it simple and do not add the price, adjectives such as "high quality" or "beautiful," or list multiple products in one Buying Lead.

Keyword: A keyword is the word or phrase that buyers will use to find your product, company or trade lead in our search engine. most B2Bface.com users use our search engine to find what they need. Therefore, choosing the right keyword is essential to help the right buyers find your product.

e.g. If your Product Name is Leisure Outdoor Davenport:
Good Keyword:Leisure Outdoor Davenport , Outdoor Davenport , Davenport
Bad Keywords: Leisure Outdoor , Leisure, Outdoor

Davenport is a real product, and Davenport is a kind of furniture, so "davenport" and "furniture" can be keywords. Leisure and Outdoor (type of furniture) are adjectives, meaning they modify "davenport". They can not be keywords. Very few buyers search with adjectives only.

Category: Try to select the most relevant category. If possible, do not select "other." Almost one third of buyers look for products by category. A precise category listing will enhance your chances of being found easily.

Description: When browsing buyer listing websites, we often see Buying Lead introductions that are unclear. Remember, your Buying Lead introduction is a major contributor toward the first impression suppliers will have of you. It is important they fully understand what you want, so use it to your advantage.

Paragraph 1 - Give a brief company introduction to help build more trust with potential suppliers.

Paragraph 2 - Enter a detailed buying description: Provide key information about what you're looking for including the product name, size, color, performance, price, quantity, terms of payment and any other relevant information. The more clear information you can provide, the better the responses you will get.

Paragraph 3 - Invite the suppliers to contact you: Use the final paragraph of your Detailed Description to state the urgency of what you need and invite potential customers to contact you directly.



After completing the Buying Lead form and clicking the Submit button, you will receive a message on your Manage Buying Leads page telling you that your Buying Lead has been submitted and is pending approval.

If your Buying Lead is not approved (i.e., it requires you to submit more information), the Editing Required status will be shown on your My B2Bface homepage and on your Manage Buying Leads page. We will also send you an email to inform you that your Buying Lead requires editing. When your information is approved, it will be published on B2Bface.com within 24 hours.
