In a first of its kind - infobanc is offering free web-site and business e-mails to its members.

This is no do-it-yourself website building utility - but a domain name based fully functional web-site designed by professional web designers.

With this free offer - members of infobanc.com will be able to promote their products to worldwide audience at no extra cost.

infobanc is already providing services for locating buyers, appointing agents and distributors, conducting market research etc. through 100,000+ overseas import trade leads, 2-million strong database of overseas importers, 20,000+ tenders, 5000+ overseas retailers and retail chains, 14,000+ agents and distributors from India and abroad, 65 million export import shipment records from Indian customs etc.

Lack of credible web-presence has always been the falling of Small and Medium Enterprises (SME) in India. Trust being the bedrock of business relationship, establishing one's identity is paramount for winning customers in international marketplace. This is more so for e-businesses as anonymous nature of Internet helps large number of con artists and fraudster to hide their identities effectively.

Without a credible web-presence and mechanism to check, buyers simply can not trust any enterprise with large orders, so characteristic of Business to Business (B2B) deals.

A professionally designed website goes a long way in establishing credentials of a business enterprise. It helps buyers to check the background, product offerings, delivery schedule, contact details, names of key executives etc. of the company. Search engines help in locating reviews of the company, quality of products, adverse remark by its customers etc.

Smart e-businesses, who have understood the importance of web sites, have long established their web presence. However, there are still quite a few SMEs in India who have not paid adequate attention to credible web presence, for lack of finance, focus or technology support.

With this offer of fully functional professional web-site at zero cost - infobanc members should be able to conclude more sales than they would have hoped to without a web presence.

Here's some exciting news for all of you. We have entered into an alliance with Topease Network to bring shipment records from USA, UK and China at your doorstep.

These overseas shipment records provide valuable information like name and address of overseas importer, Indian supplier, product details, shipping details etc. There is wide variety in extent of information provided from country to country.

As member/visitor of The Great Indian Bazaar - you receive information on new trade enquiries everyday. In effect, trade enquiry is a pre-sale activity where buyer floats it to invite quotation from prospective sellers. Now, shipment records will complement this service with data on actual sale.

Shipment records is a post-sale documentation, recording details of a particular transaction. Trade leads and shipment records are complementary to each other as knowledge and details of past buy/sell data considerably helps you during negotiation and eventually clinch the deal.

Shipment record is a reliable source for locating buyers and sellers. Unlike trade enquiry - there is no issue of fake enquiry or dealing with non-serious buyers/sellers as every record contains details of transaction that has actually taken place and recorded by a reliable government agency. Proper use of shipment data can provide a very competitive upper hand to your international business and an edge over your competitor

You can find all information about this new service including sample records from USA, UK and China, price list, order form etc. at

Thanks for your feedback on download policy - we have decided to make following changes in download quota from October 1' 2004

We are extremely happy to announce a new feature in membership services - Eximstat Database and Search Engine.

•  Eximstat database contains nearly 12 million export import shipment records from 11 Indian ports for the period - April 2003 to March 2004. Please visit http://www.infobanc.com/markets_exim.htm for details.
  
  
•  We have created a demo database (real data for few days, covering export as well as import) for a first hand feel of this comprehensive database and developing search skill at http://www.infobanc.com/demo_eximstat/
  
  
•  For full eximstat database access - please log-in to Members' Control Panel at http://support.infobanc.com/

IMPORTANT: You may search and download as much data as you like from demo database. However, view/download of records from eximstat database at Members' Control panel will be as per download quota.
