Hmmm, brelee!

That's not something that I've encountered before. Did you check out all of the websites that I listed as far as what they require for you to join them?

A lot of them operate on an international level and so, I would think that the ones operating on an international level would be taking into account the different contact information that might be provided by the person that wants to join the website.

Thanks!

[brelee]

I can provide them our Chinese tel number and fax number...

The webside need American information to register may just aim at American suppliers and demanders, just forget it.

I have adv on the other webside you have provided, I will focus on these one and keep it updated.

Thanks

If I remember correctly, I did offer to help you, on the other thread that you started, so that you can word your ads the most effectively. That offer still stands. I can also help you to word responses to people when they do respond to your ads.

Yes, of couse. That will be a great help.

Here's the customer's reply:
We are interested in two of the furniture pictures that you have online,I'm guessing that shipping to the United States would be cost prohibitive? Have you been able to successfully ship here before.. The postal code in the United States is 66202 (Kansas City).

Should I just reply the shipping cost?

Hope I'm not disturbing you much

[Clough]

No, your not disturbing me. One of the reasons that I like being on this site is for questions like yours!

Would you please list here the title of the ad to which the person responded, please?

Doing that wouldn't be using this site for advertising, because you will not have listed any content of the ad, contact information or links to anything.

Just please list the title, without the name of your business in the title if it might have been there. I'll take it from there.

Thanks!

[brelee]

The title of the ad?

Reclaimed ship wood furniture

[Clough]

Thanks! Does your ad appear on any links of the first and second pages of the following search, please?

"Reclaimed ship wood furniture" - Google Search

[brelee]

It seems not

[Clough]

Then would you please put at lease a few sentences from the ad here to which the person responded? Please don't include any contact information in them.

Thanks!

[brelee]

Our furniture is made from reclaimed ship wood.

The complicated veins on the wood is the history of these old ships.

The wood from the old ships will still be the silent old wood, even it has witnessed many events in the past, and even it has been buried under the sea after thousands of years. As time goes by, no matter how the human beings change its destiny, it remains silent like a man with wisdom.

...
Something like that

[Clough]

Thanks! Did you advertise on cracker.com.au? Your ad would appear to be being displayed there.

[brelee]

Yep. So how should I reply

[Clough]

Please let me take a look at the wording of the response that I will copy and paste here, since your thread has now gone onto another page. I will be back in a few minutes.

Thanks!

[brelee]

Thank you.
I am also trying to write the response.

[Clough]

I just sent you an inquiry via using that site. Please respond to it. I wanted to see how the site works.

Thanks!

I haven't found the response of the person to be spam. However, did they give you their name or any other contact information in the response?

Thanks!

[brelee]

I cannot find your enquiry.
The customer send email to me.

I'm still writing the reply letter...
I will be back tomorrow.
See you ^^

[Clough]

If the customer didn't leave any name for themselves or even a company, then I would strongly suspect that the inquiry would be spam. As such, it may not be wise to respond to them.

I'm concerned about your getting spammed by someone who is just looking for email addresses to send spam to.

If you are writing a response to them, or anyone, please do post it here before sending it, again without any names or contact information so that I can give you an idea as to how you might make it the most professional that it could be.

If that ad is an example of what you have put out on the Internet, we really do need to work some on your wording so that things are the most attractive and professional.

It's best not to get all that excited about some responses that you get. The legitimate responses you get, will be because of the professional way you have worded your ads and also, people that are genuinely credible when responding, are going to be giving you their name as well as the name of their company in their response.

Thanks!

[brelee]

Would you mind giving me some suggestion about how to word my adv? Maybe American do not like something made in China, every time when I reply that we are loacted in China, we cannot get their reply any more...

[Clough]

Yes, I can help you with this, brelee! I've already offered that help previously. We'll need to work on how you title your ads, how you begin your ads, and what the focus is in your ads.

Thanks!
