FAQ

What Are Trade Missions? What Kind of Advantages Do They Have?

Creating a sustainable financial infrastructure is an important part of any country’s economy, with networks of suppliers, traders and distributors helping to ensure that business operates and functions effectively within a country. For a country to see growth within the financial sector, there needs to be a healthy amount of competition, both in terms of local and international businesses. Trade missions exist to encourage partnerships amongst businesses and governments, where important data and networks of information can be shared to benefit all parties involved. This interaction creates a sustainable network of sales representatives, governments and distributors who are each looking to develop their own financial security while providing important economic growth to the sector they are in. The following are just a few examples of the benefits of trade missions and the impact they have on economies.

 

  • Broadens Networks: Without trade missions, people within certain industries may not be able to create beneficial trading partnerships with businesses and governments. Having a space where people within certain industries can meet and exchange information creates the opportunity for new networks and commercial matches to be created, stimulating growth within certain industries and propelling new ideas, technologies, products and services which meet their customer’s needs and wants.

 

  • Creates competition: New businesses entering into economies stimulate growth and competition between existing companies. Creating new competition is a driving force in creating affordable products and services, stimulating more economic output and creating better purchasing opportunities for customers. As competition grows, businesses are forced into creating new products and services to better match the needs of their target audience, leading to more innovative offers and stimulating product development in exciting ways!

Who Should Benefit From The Trade Mission Service?

Trade missions are particularly beneficial to those businesses who are looking to get into international markets and who are looking for international buyers. By creating a network of interested buyers, sellers and distributors in a trade mission, a business is able to make contacts with an assortment of different people, broadening their data and finding new ways to encroach on certain economies. As an outsider business, looking to get into new markets in new countries can be difficult, from language barriers to a lack of experience in how to approach certain companies. Trade missions provide a space whereby external businesses who have something to offer an industry can make important business connections, allowing for an exchange of knowledge and data around certain economic activities. This ultimately benefits everyone as new businesses can create competition within an industry, which spurs on economic growth within the country.

What is Done in The Trade Mission Preparation Phase?

The preparation phase of a trade mission involves doing a ton of research, both on the market you are hoping to explore and how your business could offer trades within this economy. You would first have to come up with an idea of what your potential target market needs. Will your product or service be beneficial? Can you provide your product or service for a price that matches local competitors? Market analysis, sector analysis, branding and positioning are incredibly important to consider in this preparation phase, which is why Global Me has set up services to help with this part of the process. Having information from reliable sources who are aware of the state of the market and the needs of the economy is vital to creating lasting partnerships and networks.

What Should Be Considered in Bilateral Business Meetings?

When discussing partnerships and potential opportunities for the development of a relationship between two different businesses, it is extremely important to talk about each business’s goals and capabilities. Having a good idea of how each business functions and the needs that they should each fulfill can create better opportunities for growth and spur on the production of vital product and service design. If both businesses talking about a potential agreement are able to understand the needs expected of them, they are able to evaluate marketing opportunities and find ways to promote their new products and services to their target audience. Bilateral business decisions are all about understanding what is expected of each party and finding ways to ensure that the needs of all involved are met.
