Something huge dropped in Malaysia on the 18th of June 2018. Alibaba Group opened its first office in Southeast Asia in no other than our beloved tanah air, Malaysia! The Alibaba Group executive chairman, Jack Ma himself was there in the Alibaba office in UOA corporate building located at Bangsar South for the launch. This event has no doubt increased Malaysians’ awareness about the international selling platform Alibaba.com, but there isn’t nearly enough that is taking full advantage of this platform for their business!

Why SMEs Should Sell On Alibaba.com

You shouldn’t neglect international business opportunities just because you are a small or medium business enterprise, especially if your business is based on B2B interactions! Below, we share with you 5 reasons SMEs should sell on Alibaba.com.

Large User Base

With more than 8 million suppliers listed on Alibaba.com, this platform is easily the biggest global online portal. In fact, Alibaba has held an all-time high record of 231 million customers back in 2013. That’s a lot! Alibaba is still expanding, creating a supplier and customer base that is getting more and more international. Having an Alibaba.com account exposes you to this large pool of clients, which is an easy yet essential way to boost your sales.

High Ranking on Search Engines

Alibaba invests in search engine marketing (SEM), for plenty of search terms that users key into Google, Baidu and other search engines. In fact, Alibaba has a high ranking for lots of generic B2B keywords such as conveyor belts, sludge pumps et cetera. This is especially true in Asian markets! When you search for these keywords, there’s a high chance that Alibaba.com is among the top results. With such visibility, buyers often end up purchasing B2B products straight off Alibaba.com!

SME- and Industrial Company-Focused

When buyers are looking for B2B products, they are much more focused on finding the products and services that you provide rather than looking for certain brands. With Alibaba.com being an online B2B platform and trading directory, both known and unknown brands can be listed and found by the buyers just as easily. This is why registering on Alibaba.com is a great starting point for SMEs with a constrained budget, especially when competing with bigger, multinational companies.

International Reach

Contrary to popular beliefs, Alibaba.com does not only cater to English and Chinese speaking audiences. This platform offers its subpages in major languages such as Spanish, Russian, German and Arabic among several others. As such, an Alibaba.com registration can provide your business all over the world. The best part is that you only need a single registration to have Alibaba.com directly translate the information you provided into other languages that it supports.

High Quality Leads

Alibaba does not sacrifice quality for quantity. Although this platform has plenty of suppliers and customers, buyers can still be assured that they are obtaining high quality products and services with secure payments. As an example, Alibaba.com’s Gold Supplier Membership - a premium account for the platform, has a very strict application process which requires a certain B2B supplier quality. All successfully verified accounts will be displayed as such to anyone who browses the supplier’s page, and they can be sure that these listed companies exist. Assured buyers lead to high quality leads on Alibaba.com, especially if you have the Gold Supplier Membership!
