This year's Christmas stocking was advanced by three months! In June, foreign trade merchants on Alibaba International received a large number of Christmas orders. Even the middlemen of Wal Mart have placed a big order at Ali International Station. They want to customize a container of pet nests. The required color matching and decoration are all Christmas elements!

As for the newly launched Alibaba International website "Foreign Trade 618", it has almost become a "Christmas stocking session" and the best way for Chinese foreign trade enterprises to seize this early influx of "Christmas traffic".

It is reported that on the first day of the official launch of "Foreign Trade 618" on Alibaba International Station (June 3), a large number of American buyers flooded in, and orders for Christmas related products increased by more than 50%. Popular festival products such as accessories surged by more than 120% year-on-year. The order volume for toys commonly used as Christmas gifts has increased sixfold compared to the same period last year.

Due to the early outbreak of Christmas demand from overseas buyers, Alibaba International Station will also launch a Christmas stocking section in mid June to better help foreign trade merchants seize business opportunities. It is reported that the most popular Christmas product keywords among American corporate buyers recently are: Christmas tree, Christmas gift box, Christmas lights, Christmas ribbons, Christmas hat, Christmas scarf, etc.

Prior to the reduction of US tariffs, internationally renowned investment bank Goldman Sachs released a report predicting that "China's exports will explode in the next 90 days. 'Frontlinng' will become the keyword. ”The current situation is confirming this hypothesis, as Christmas stocking has been ahead of schedule for three months!

Walmart's middleman recently asked us to send out a container of pet beds, with designs featuring Christmas elements such as pumpkin lanterns and reindeer, and colors of red, white, and red green, "said Che Yunwen, General Manager of Foreign Trade at Wuxi Shuangzhen Needle Textile Crafts Co., Ltd., a merchant on Alibaba International Station.

It is reported that the Wal Mart middleman was contacted by Che Yunwen at Ali International Station in July and August last year. During the tariff boom this year, he was still actively talking with them about orders. Once the tariff fell, the orders became more urgent. It is reported that this container will arrive in the United States around June or July, which can be considered as a trial order for Walmart. If you think it's good, you will place orders for dozens of containers with us in the future

Che Yunwen revealed that in addition to Wal Mart, large American supermarkets, including Costco, are now directly negotiating orders with them, including through the B2B platform that gathers the most foreign trade factories, such as Ali International Station, to shorten the cycle and speed up the "rush for goods".

Another Alibaba International merchant, Wu Qingfen, the general manager of Yiwu Jingwen Import and Export Co., Ltd., also received a 200000 yuan Christmas stocking order from a loyal customer in the United States. Compared to previous years, the time for purchasing Christmas socks is at least a month earlier, "said Wu Qingfen.

It is reported that in previous years, May and June were the mid to low season for the foreign trade industry, but now after the tariff reduction, a window of at least 90 days has been left, and the purchasing demand of American companies is extremely strong, turning the off-season into a "peak season".

Alibaba International Station also timely launched the largest June promotion to help merchants seize business opportunities during the peak season. It is reported that there is no registration threshold for this promotion, and even newly joined merchants can immediately participate in the "Foreign Trade 618" and receive traffic from the United States.

According to the person in charge of "Foreign Trade 618" on Alibaba International Station, this promotion will continue until early August, covering the entire tariff window period, and more foreign trade merchants can continue to register and participate.
