Want to become an exhibitioner? Read the following!
ProfitRomania has a simple structure including the next categories: Business, Collaborations, Financing, Companies, Want to buy?, Want to sell?, My account, stated Corina Ganet, marketing director of Romexpo. The registering of the companies is made online by filling in an application-form. The company will then appear in the Companies section immediately. Here one can choose from the following categories: agriculture, technique, timber and furniture, auto, services, houses, computers and IT, media and printings, tourism and resorts, fashion, cosmetics and hygiene, health, buildings and terrains. The site has links for many virtual markets in other countries, markets with which Romexpo has business connections and, this way, the Romanian offers are to be seen abroad also. On the other hand, in all the developed countries, 40% of the B2B (bank to bank) transactions are made using the virtual markets.
