Q1、请简单介绍下Hobby Lobby?

Brief about Hobby Lobby ?

 

Hobby Lobby是美国最大的工艺品零售商之一，经营产品包括工艺品、画框、珠宝制作、时装面料、花、卡片及派对用品、篮子、耐磨艺术、家居用品、节日用品等。

 

Hobby Lobby is one of the largest retailers in the United States, operating in products including crafts, picture frames, jewelry making, fashion fabrics, flowers, cards and party supplies, baskets, wearable art, household items, and holiday items.

 

 

 

Q2、Hobby Lobby在中国的采购习惯?

Brief about Hobby Lobby's sourcing in China? 

 

从2000参加JINHAN FAIR以来，我与另外四位买手合作，以采购圣诞装饰品为主。

 

I have attended the JINHAN FAIR since the first one in 2000.I work with four buyers that primarily buy Christmas decorations.

 

 

Q3、对整体采购、供应环境的变化有什么感触呢？

How do you feel about the sourcing and supply environment?

 

我们中国的合作伙伴都极具有创造力、顽强的生命力和很强的适应力。多年来，他们经历了商业和政府的许多风暴和变化，目前的关税问题只是成长路途上的又一次碰撞，这必定使未来的商业业务有所变化，但我相信，我们的中国供应商将找到新的、有创造性的对策来继续坚持发展。

 

Our business partners in China are extremely creative, tenacious, and resilient.Over the years they have weathered many storms and changes in the worlds of business and government. The current tariff situation is just another bump in the road on a long highway. Business will be somewhat different in the future, but I am confident that our China suppliers will find new and creative ways to persevere and prosper.

 

 

 

Q4、展会上哪家供应商给您留下了最深刻的印象？

Which supplier at the fair impressed you the most? 

 

我在这个行业跟很多在JINHAN FAIR参展的供应商一起成长奋斗，看着我们很多合作伙伴从几年前的小摊位变成现在的大型摊位。JINHAN FAIR给很多中国的初创企业提供了一个很好的平台，让他们看到商机和发展的空间，也为全世界的买手提供了一个能看到中国最优秀的供应商的平台。

 

I have grown up in this industry with many of the suppliers that exhibit at Jinhan. I've watched many of our business partners grow from tiny booths years ago to huge booths now. JINHAN FAIR has given a platform for many start-up companies in China to be seen and prosper, and it has given buyers from around the world a venue to see some of the best suppliers from China.

Q5、还记得初次到访JINHAN FAIR的体验吗？ 

Can you describe your first experience at JINHAN FAIR? 

 

我第一次来广州是在1995年。2000年JINHAN FAIR的成立为这片土地增加了新鲜的空气。在这之前，所有的供应商的摊位都设在中国大酒店或者是东方宾馆的走廊和小房间里。是JINHAN  FAIR给予了这些展商更大的摊位空间和舒适的采购氛围中茁壮成长。

 

I first began coming to Guangzhou in 1995. The addition of the Jinhan building in 2000 to the old campus was a breath of fresh air. Before that, these vendors were all in the China Hotel or Dongfang hotel in mazes of corridors and small rooms. The Jinhan allowed these vendors to blossom with bigger booth spaces and a comfortable buying atmosphere.

 

 

 

Q6、JINHAN FAIR马上就迎来20周年了，对此您对有什么期望和祝福?

Please leave some words for JINHAN FAIR at its 20th anniversary?

 

生日快乐, JINHAN FAIR!

 

作为买手，知道长期的供应商每年都会在同一地点进行展出是一件很高兴的事情。我希望这将成为未来的优势。除此之外，这里的布局非常不错，我希望能够维持原样，这样一来我们就容易估计去每层楼所需的时间。另外，如果可以有一个区域专门是为新成立的供应商而设置，这将会很有新意。

 

Happy Birthday，JINHAN FAIR!

 

As a buyer, it is wonderful to know that a longstanding supplier will be in the same location every year.  I hope that will be a priority in the future. Also, the layout is excellent.  I hope that stays the same.  It is easy to estimate the time it will take per floor each time. Also – it would be cool in the future if they had a designated area just for new start up suppliers.
