Why to export?

Taking your Business to the Next Level: 7 Reasons to Export

Ever since you started your business, you’ve yearned to see it grow and have your products sold globally. There are a lot of motivations in today’s world to send your products outside the country so you can compete in international markets. Here are just a few:

1. Seasonal Production Cycles. Some products gain strength abroad when their season ends in the country in which they are produced.  One example is clothing. With two summers and two winters every year on our planet, clothing and other seasonal merchandise will lose momentum in one country and get a brand new start elsewhere.

2. Improve profits. Some goods are not duly valued in Mexico, but may be sold abroad at a better price to generate higher profits.

3. Greater presence at expos and trade shows. The main objective is for the company to be more competitive and have a production plan to satisfy the needs of foreign markets, thus ensuring buyers an extensive supply of products to export.

4. Depend on a better production system. Many business owners create a variety of models within one line of products because they do not have an effective production system. Ideally, to take advantage of the economies of scale, it is better to manufacture fewer models at a greater scale in order to supply foreign markets.

5. Market Growth. If your company has trouble moving inventory in the domestic market, it may be time to export and sell your products internationally. The quality of your products will help them sell better in foreign markets.

6. Extend your product’s life cycle. When your product has reached maturity in the domestic market, you can sell it internationally as a new product.

7. Reduce the impact of import products entering the country. Thanks to open trade, which currently exists in many countries, a lot of products available are similar to those produced by another country. Because of this, the best way to reduce the impact of these competitors is to export.

Just think about it: new clients, new markets…new business opportunities! Don’t limit your products to just one country.
