To the American exporter
It’s a great big world out there, getting more and more connected every day. Chances are, there are countless companies around the globe ready to buy your products . . . If only they knew about you
But finding those buyers can be tricky. Do an internet search for “buyer's product” and you’ll get hundreds of thousands of listings. Where do you begin? And how many of those listings will be foreign importers ready to buy?
Even after finding them, would you know how to speak their language? And what about transportation costs, customs duties, and international paperwork, not to mention import restrictions posed by foreign governments?
Luckily, we can help. Funded in part by the government, American Exports matches up companies like yours with qualified, ready buyers around the world. But we don’t stop there. We provide guidance and support all the way through to a completed transaction. Here are the details:
§ Cut through the clutter. We actively search for interested importers through our partnerships with chambers of commerce, business councils, commercial sections, and import/export associations around the world
§ Get noticed. Every two months, our online and printed publication of AmericanExporters reaches an estimated 75,000 foreign buyers. In addition, we continuously promote our clients to an ever-growing database of international importers. This kind of targeted promotion ensures that your company gets noticed by relevant, ready buyers
§ Gain from our experience. The two founders of American Exports have experience in 14 countries, with nearly 20 years in international importing and exporting. Both immigrants to America themselves, they each speak multiple languages and understand the subtleties of a wide range of cultures. Along with their team of sales consultants, they bring to your company the know-how and connections it takes to sell your products abroad
§ Let us do the legwork. In some cases, we’re a value-added matchmaking and resource referral service. But in other cases, you may want more help than that. For example, if you need an international sales contract drawn up or someone to negotiate pricing, payment terms, or even your participation in trade fairs, trade missions, and business delegations … etc, we’re available to support you on a separate consulting basis
§ Save money. The value of our services is potentially limitless. And yet, thanks in part to support from the American government, we are able to offer most of our services for less than the cost of an ad in your local newspaper. Compare that with the cost of attending just one trade show! Best of all, our fees are 100% tax deductible!
