How is Alibaba changing the way the world buys?

1. Make global trade accessible for every business

• Previously, exporting was a "playground" only for large corporations, capable of attending international fairs and exhibitions, or owning foreign business teams.

• Alibaba changed that. With just one online store, Vietnamese businesses can reach millions of global buyers without leaving the office.

• Opening a booth on Alibaba is like participating in a 24/7 international fair — where your goods are always on display before the eyes of global customers.

• Through the consulting service of opening an Alibaba Vietnam booth, many small businesses have quickly exported through Alibaba, expanding revenue and brand.

2. Applying the global B2B model - optimal for export businesses

Understanding the B2B model on Alibaba is the key to sustainable business development. Unlike the B2C model (direct retail to consumers) like Shopee or Amazon, Alibaba operates based on the B2B model, meaning businesses sell to businesses. This helps Vietnamese suppliers sell in large quantities and with high value, instead of small orders. Alibaba's B2B model brings:

• Reach international wholesale buyers.

• Long-term contracts instead of short-term orders.

• Ability to expand brand and production capacity.

3. Help Vietnamese businesses export without going to fairs

Instead of having to spend hundreds of millions of dong to attend international exhibitions, businesses now only need to invest in opening a booth on Alibaba. Exporting through Alibaba allows businesses to:

• Introduce products 24/7 to buyers everywhere.

• Use online promotion, SEO and chat tools to increase visibility.

• Get advice on opening an Alibaba Vietnam booth to optimize content, images and company profile.

Businesses in the food, spice, furniture, handicrafts, fashion industries... in Vietnam are experiencing a boom in export revenue thanks to this strategy.

4. Alibaba helps global buyers reach suppliers more quickly

With millions of verified stores, international buyers can find the right product in seconds. Alibaba's smart filters help them choose according to:

• Country of origin.

• Wholesale price.

• Minimum quantity.

• Standard certification (ISO, HACCP, CE, FDA...).

Therefore, Alibaba has significantly shortened the process of searching and evaluating suppliers, making cross-border purchasing easier and more reliable than ever.

5. Comprehensive support technology ecosystem from search to payment

Alibaba is not just a place to sell products. This platform offers a complete ecosystem including:

• Alibaba.comBuyer/Seller Center – helps manage transactions easily.

• Alibaba Trade Assurance – protects the rights of both buyers and sellers.

• Smart Marketing Tools – automatically promote products based on buyers' search behavior.

• Global logistics services (Cainiao, Alibaba Logistics) – support fast international shipping.

Thanks to that, businesses not only export through Alibaba but can also manage the supply chain effectively and minimize risks.

6. Create trust in international transactions with a transparent certification system

Alibaba applies a strict business verification system, including checking company records, business licenses and actual factories. When buyers see the Verified Supplier logo, they know that this is a reputable supplier verified by Alibaba. Additionally, the Trade Assurance feature ensures that:

• Buyers only pay when the goods meet requirements.

• Sellers are guaranteed to receive money on time.

It is this system that has built global trust, helping Vietnamese businesses easily sign large contracts with international partners.

7. Expand your business scale with automatic promotion tools

An outstanding strength of Alibaba Vietnam is that it allows businesses to run ads right on the platform. With Keyword Advertising (P4P), you can bring your products to the top of search results for global buyers. Combined with data insight, businesses know clearly:

• Who is searching for your product?

• Which country is in high demand?

• Which product is being clicked the most?

These data help businesses optimize their store opening strategy and improve export efficiency through Alibaba.

8. Promote digital transformation for Vietnamese businesses

Alibaba is not only a sales channel, but also a stepping stone to help Vietnamese businesses transform digitally. When participating in the Alibaba e-commerce platform, businesses learn how to:

• Building brand image online.

• Use data to make decisions.

• Manage international customers via CRM platform.

Thanks to that, they are no longer dependent on traditional channels but proactively approach the global market via the Internet.

9. Bringing Vietnamese brands to the world

Previously, Vietnamese brands were little known on the international trade map. Now, thousands of Vietnamese businesses are exporting through Alibaba, creating their own mark in major markets such as the US, EU, Japan, Korea and the Middle East. Outstanding Vietnamese products on Alibaba include:

• Agricultural products (coffee, pepper, cashew, rice).

• Spices (shrimp paste, chili sauce, fish sauce).

• Handicrafts, wooden furniture, souvenirs.

Alibaba is the door to globalization of Vietnamese brands, bringing "Made in Vietnam" products to the world with just a few clicks.
