Hong Kong, China, October 31, 2017 –(PR.com)– LumEfficient President Randy Reid spoke at the 19th Hong Kong International Lighting Fair. The discussion was controversial because Reid encouraged the audience, mainly Chinese manufacturers wanting to sell in the US, to respect the existing channels of distribution. “When I speak to Chinese companies about their marketing plans in the U.S.,” Reid said, “They explain how they are going to sell direct to the end user and bypass our distribution channels – as if that is some sort of secret plan.”

Reid explained that Chinese lighting companies who sell through Amazon or online are competing against over 100 other companies and only able to sell on price. They miss the opportunity to capitalize on features and benefits, and therefore miss higher margins, that come with working through the existing rep-distributor channel.

In the presentation, Reid discussed those different channels and the value of each one.

In addition, he also discussed the need for manufacturers to create products that have unique features and benefits and how flooding the market with cheap commodity products, at low margins, does not serve anyone well.
