buyCASTINGS Hits the Trade Shows Hard
Attending and Exhibiting at Six National Trade Shows with 40,000+ People in Last 3 Months
"We never believed in ...Build a web-site and they will come", proclaimed Mr. Bob Dzugan, President of buyCASTINGS.com Inc. Having a web-site that brings Buyers, Foundries, and Suppliers together in an extremely cost-effective manner is great but acquiring new customers and building long-term relationships with a face-to-face contact at Trade Shows is also important. We get new members. We get new Buyers for our Foundries and Suppliers. We also get new partners that can help our members cut costs. buyCASTINGS being in front of 40,000+ attendees - handing out our newsletter, having our logo up, availing company literature, and speaking to people about our benefits - is a powerful way to help our members and to grow our business.

Whether your company is a buyer of castings, a foundry or a supplier to the casting industry, the buyCASTINGS presence at these trade shows adds value to your company. Whether you want to know "where do I buy better, less expensive castings" or "how do I find new customers for the castings or supplies that I sell in such a cost effective manner", buyCASTINGS has the answer.

If you are a buyer of castings, the buyCASTINGS presence at trade shows affects you in several ways. We are able to meet and recruit additional foundries that can help insure that you get better choice, insuring better quality and price. Next, as we meet and recruit additional suppliers to the foundries, the foundries in our system now have more choice and can offer you lower or stable prices and better quality.

If you are a foundry, the buyCASTINGS presence at these trade shows can certainly attract new customers who walk the floors looking for solutions to their buying problems. In addition many of the companies displaying at the shows use castings and are very willing to give you the name of their purchasing agent since it may allow their company to sell better or less expensive end product and remain more competitive.

If you are a supplier to the foundries, again the buyCASTINGS presence is important. We find and recruit more foundries for you to sell your product to and maybe more importantly, we are trying to keep you customers (the foundries) busier by finding them more work. In turn they will need more supplies, services or equipment from your company.

An example of how efficient this system can be is shown by an example from the recent Power Generation show. buyCASTINGS received a request for quote for castings at the show and obtained names of over 75 buyers of castings, we recruited several more foundries and numerous suppliers all during the span of three days at a cost of less than $2000. If one buyer, one foundry and one supplier each tried to do this individually the cost would be at least 3 times higher. We believe that this efficiency will allow the buyCASTINGS business model to grow and flourish in the future.
