Perspectives
There is a global trade expert in your market and another as close as your email or your phone.
The costs to export your products and services abroad are constantly decreasing, making it easier for small- and medium-sized companies to reach consumers across the globe. Whether you’re a small clothing retailer looking to find niche markets in Asia, or a consumer electronics producer looking to tap into an emerging market in South America, exporting abroad is a cost-effective way to quickly improve your bottom line amidst slow growth in many domestic markets.
It may seem daunting for small- and medium-sized firms to go global,but there are many resources that are locally available that can help firms export abroad. Local development offices in states, cities, and regions, along with elected officials and local chamber’s of commerce all have experts on hand to answer any questions and deal with any reservations you may have about exporting. In addition, there is a regular schedule of trade missions, fairs, webinars, and workshops
that can be used as resources to help small and medium sized firms access new markets.
Upcoming events include:
1. Is Exporting Right for You?
