Palomar Dead Sea is a manufacturer of pheromone products, Dead Sea products and anti-aging products from Israel. Since we became a Gold Supplier member in 2004, we have generated close to US$30 million dollars and become the leading retail and wholesale center in our industry.

We first heard about Alibaba.com in 2002 through an internet search engine and eventually joined Alibaba.com to increase our sales and connections with distributors. Alibaba.com is also one of the most trusted and respected B2B platforms in the world, so our company naturally benefits from it. Besides, all Gold Supplier members have been verified by a third-party security service provider, so more buyers are willing to trade with us.

We now receive about a dozen new wholesale leads per day and have also generated more than a million dollars in sales in just one week thanks to our Gold Supplier membership!

Once we became a Gold Supplier member, we started receiving a lot more serious inquiries. The more products we displayed in our Product Showcase, the more feedback we got.

Within a few months of becoming Gold Supplier member, we landed a huge order for US$200,000 from a buyer in Europe. There is no doubt in my mind that our Gold Supplier membership was a big help in assuring the buyer that we could be trusted with their designs.

Business from Alibaba.com alone increased our company's sales revenue by 200%. Since we joined three years ago, our company has posted up tens of thousands of products on Alibaba.com and just as many trade leads.

Based in Seoul, Nubicom is a supplier of used Agilent measuring equipment, the market leader in overall test and measurement products. Wanting to expand into new international markets, we joined Alibaba.com as a Gold Supplier member in December 2008.

Gold Supplier helps us build credibility with buyers online, since all Gold Supplier members must pass an authentication and verification process by a third-party security service provider in order to qualify. This way, global buyers were assured that we were a legitimate business and serious supplier, leading to many deals closed using T/T advance payment. We get inquiries much more easily with a Gold Supplier membership because our products are priority listed. Secondly, we can access the latest buying leads on Alibaba.com without any limitations.

Nowadays, we receive an average of 50 inquiries (excluding spam) every month with 20% of them turning into real orders. Since we joined Alibaba.com in December 2008, we have inked US$600,000 worth of deals with customers from the USA, Hong Kong and China!
