Common Enquiries
Trade promotion can be delivered on a B2B basis, or as part of a trade mission, civic delegation or trade show. We love to help SMEs make that next large step and often receive questions about the following areas:
New exporters need assistance in conducting thorough market research to identify potential markets for their products or services. This includes assessing market size, competition, consumer preferences, and potential barriers to entry. Support is also needed in prioritising target markets based on potential returns and alignment with the company’s goals and capabilities.
Companies require guidance in developing a comprehensive export plan that outlines their objectives, strategies, and resources needed to achieve their goals. This includes identifying target customers, selecting appropriate distribution channels, setting pricing strategies, and developing marketing and promotional campaigns tailored to each target market.
Exporters need support in understanding and complying with international trade regulations, including customs procedures, tariffs, quotas, and import/export licensing requirements. They also need assistance in preparing accurate and complete documentation, such as commercial invoices, packing lists, certificates of origin, and bills of lading, to ensure smooth customs clearance and prevent delays or penalties.
New exporters require help in organizing and managing the transportation of their goods, including selecting the most suitable mode of transport, negotiating freight rates, and ensuring compliance with shipping regulations. They also need support in optimising their supply chain to minimise costs and improve efficiency, which may involve working with freight forwarders, customs brokers, and other logistics service providers.
Companies need guidance in managing the financial aspects of exporting, including selecting appropriate payment methods, managing currency risks, and securing trade finance options. They also require support in understanding and mitigating potential risks associated with international trade, such as political, economic, and legal risks.
