Colombian Trade Fair graces Guyana’s shores
The Colombian Trade Fair One Stop Shop is one with a difference as it affords Guyanese an opportunity to purchase products that are not available locally.
The trade fair, which has traveled to various Caribbean nations for the past 30 years, is in Guyana for the first time. Twenty Colombian entrepreneurs are here to offer their services to the local populace.
Some of the items on display
Organizers of the exhibition promise to leave customers satisfied with their purchases as a wide variety of products are being offered.
One of the organizers, Jai Piñeras said that the commodities on sale range from beauty products to electrical appliances.
“We have traveled to countries like the Bahamas, Curacao, Honduras and Cuba because we have a lot of stuff to offer the men as well as the women and this is the only place that persons can have a demonstration before they make their purchases.”
The idea, he says, is to introduce Guyana to products that are not available locally. He said that the exhibition began two weeks ago and will continue until most of the stock is gone.
“We work for 12 hrs everyday so people can check us out anytime. So far, we had a good response from the shoppers but we expect to sell off all our merchandise in the coming weeks.”
Some the items on sale include jewelry, culinary utensils, handyman tools, electrical appliances, cleaning devices as well as skin care and beauty products made from all natural resources.
One such merchandise is the mother of pearl skin care product which has already become popular among the ladies.
One of the sales personnel noted that the product which is made from calcium shell found in the Peruvian waters is designed to eliminate pimples, scars, stretch marks, wrinkles and tattoos in addition to cleansing and exfoliating the skin naturally.
One customer noted that the products on sale are enticing and the workers are friendly.
“They definitely know how to market what they’ve got because it seems they have something for everyone they certainly have what it takes to solicit consumers.”
