XCIDIA, Inc. has launched a new type of service allowing retailers and other buyers to sidestep trade companies for direct access to Japanese products at wholesale prices.
From Nintendo to Hello Kitty to sushi, Japanese culture and products are known and loved throughout the world. Undeniably, only a small percentage of what Japan has to offer ever sees foreign markets. Through XCIDIA's Business 2 Business Global Communication Service (B2BGCS), retailers and other buyers have 3 ways to access a multitude of unseen Japanese products, with comprehensive ordering support available through offices on both continents.
Through XCIDIA's B2BGCS, direct business-2-business order correspondence between Japanese sellers and foreign buyers is finally an option. The middlemen are eliminated. Instead of being stuck with the imports chosen by trade companies, buyers can choose from a larger selection. XCIDIA's bilingual staff in both countries eliminates language and cultural barriers that usually inhibit the flow of products from Japan to North America. Staff provides comprehensive customer support, including order tracking from Tokyo to anywhere in North America. Additionally, XCIDIA accepts product requests. For example, if a buyer wants to buy sushi-shaped cell phone cases, XCIDIA will find them. No usage/member fees -- but buyers must apply online to order.
Access to XCIDIA products is achieved through three main avenues.
Online Wholesale Market is XCIDIA's online store. It’s available 24hrs/7days, and gives buyers easy access to browse products, view product descriptions, as well as read biographical information about the artist, designer, maker, or manufacturer of a product. Ordering and payment are completed easily and correspondence with the maker is possible as well. For example, if a retailer would like to know if a Shigaraki earthenware plate is microwave safe, a simple online inquiry will get a prompt answer.
Trade Show Representation gives retailers, sales reps, and other buyers the chance to see, feel, and experience products up close and in person. Trade shows allow buyers to actually handle products to get a textural and tactile appreciation for their quality, something that is often difficult to determine online. XCIDIA staff is on hand for immediate ordering support and to answer any questions about products. Additionally, XCIDIA presents their products in an artful, stylish way, and in fact won Best Visual Presentation Award at the San Francisco International Gift Fair in January 2008 for their booth designed by renowned architect Kenta Kishi.
Database of Sales Representatives is XCIDIA's non-virtual avenue to product ordering. XCIDIA has developed a database of sales representatives to match retailers' regional and product specialty needs. All registered sales reps are handpicked and screened to ensure reliability. Sales Reps are a good option for those not familiar with the internet/computers or for those that simply prefer ordering through a real person. When a Sales Rep is requested, one is selected from the database then sent directly to visit the retailer/buyer. Also, if a retailer already has a trusted sales representative and wishes to do business with XCIDIA through him/her, XCIDIA welcomes them as well.
About XCIDIA
XCIDIA, Inc. was founded in September 2006. President and CEO Hitoshi Morikawa oversees operations at XCIDIA's main office and showroom in San Bruno, California. While the San Bruno office coordinates communications with North American buyers, the Tokyo office manages communications with Japanese makers, designers, craftsmen, etc. Bilingual staff synchronizes the operations of the two offices. XCIDIA products span all categories. From kitchenware to apparel to incense, traditional Japanese to ultra-modern, buyers will find a variety of unique products not available domestically. XCIDIA will be exhibiting at the upcoming New York International Gift Fair, August 16-21, 2008.
