by: Grovara

The world is more open and connected than ever before, and selling your Better-for-You products globally will enable you to multiply your revenues. But finding buyers for your export products can be challenging. Grovara can help you learn how to find the right distributor.

First Things First

If your business is thriving locally, you may have thought about becoming an exporter. Here are the top four things to consider before you decide:

  1. What does your competition look like? Research your target market in the countries you want to work with. Is there a demand for the product you would like to export? If a competitor already has a firm hold on the market, it may not be the right time to expand.
  2. Is your packaging and pricing up to date? It’s essential to upgrade from local to international standards of packaging. You should also find a balance in pricing to have good profit margins for everyone in your supply chain.
  3. Are there cultural differences you don’t understand? It’s essential to consider the culture of other countries and understand the people in the community and their values because this will impact the success of your business.
  4. Are you prepared for the costs of logistics, tariffs, and returns? When going global, there are many potential issues to understand. Different tax laws, import tariffs, increased logistics expenses, and other costs could erode or eradicate your profit margins. It can also be costly to process returns.
