eSourceApparel Asks: Is It Fashionable Again for Industry Exchanges?

Welcome back to the future! Remember the success of industry exchanges during the Nineties? It turns out that Web sites, like fashion, have cycles of nostalgia when what was old is new again. At least that's what's happening at eSourceApparel.com.

eSourceApparel.com (www.esourceapparel.com) is quickly becoming the central business hub for the global apparel industry, reporting an average of 10,000 hits per week and a steady increase in new members since its March 21 launch.

The apparel industry’s most comprehensive direct global sourcing and inventory sales network connects the sector’s entire supply chain via an unprecedented B2B e-commerce platform designed to improve and stimulate global business. eSourceApparel.com’s advanced features help users to easily identify and contact new suppliers, find customers and partners, discover prime sourcing locations, compare prices globally, buy and sell inventories and much more.
Users are developing additional business through the site’s searchable inventory marketplace where new in-stock opportunities from countries all over the world are being listed daily. The inventory marketplace currently includes more than 400,000 garments and more than 100,000 yards of textile inventory. Members across all categories are also employing eSourceApparel.com’s email system and the site’s business leads section to directly communicate with one another.

eSourceApparel.com’s database contains more than 60,000 global sourcing and services contacts in thirty-seven countries including China, Vietnam, Sri Lanka, Hong Kong, India, the Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Brazil, Jordan, Egypt, Turkey, the United Kingdom, Germany, and the United States. Searchable company profiles allow members to locate and contact prospective business partners, and identify new opportunities. The site’s advanced search engine optimization and submission features (SEO/SES) offer members the added advantage of increased visibility on all major search engines. The most detailed and updated profiles receive higher ranking on eSourceApparel.com which translates into higher search engine rankings.
