What is Export? |
|
Export in simple terms means selling your products & services internationally
and directly catering to international customers and markets. When a company directly
links to international customers without any local trading partner , the activity can be
referred as exports.
|
|
Why Export? |
|
-
Increase sales and profits through new contacts (export sales may even exceed local sales).
-
Create market diversification and help to offset sales fluctuations in the local market.
-
Contribute to increase production at optimum level and allow continue growth.
-
Provide new opportunities and challenges to management.

| How to Assess Export Potential?
|
|
Many firms have taken the exporting path and are supplying world markets with a wide variety
of products. In the international market place, the size of a company is not an important factor.
Smaller firms can be just as effective as large corporations, provided:
-
They have a suitable product.
- They make a commitment to export.
Smaller firms often have the advantage of serving market niches. Multinational firms concentrate
on expansion into markets that offer the greatest profit potential and knowingly bypass segments.
These bypassed segments can serve as profitable markets for the smaller exporters -they can sense,
retrieve, and react to market information more quickly than the larger corporations with their
multilevel hierarchy of decision making.
The key factor is to have a good product that will satisfy a need in the foreign market -
this can be determined by having your product evaluated abroad, via sending samples to
prospective agents, distributors or at a trade show.

| Identifying the Product
|
|
No country in the world is fully self sufficient in all respects. At some places
minerals are in shortage, at others textile products are not available and at some
places food is not available & so on. Thus all countries are importing the relevant
items to fulfill the needs of its population.
India exports large number of items to almost every part of the world. Any enterprise
looking for a product must first find the place/country where the product it is manufacturing is
utilized and then form a product strategy to market & export its items.
