Just as in the case of investing personally, it is very important that you try to build a multi-faceted advertisement and marketing tactic with a view to creating positive results for the purpose of your import export business. The first and perhaps most plausible marketing ploy is perhaps the cheapest and easiest: get engaged in online import/export groups. Regardless of if you post on a regular basis on social media platforms or engage individuals in groups that are associated with export and import websites, it is important that you present yourself in the most professional manner. Certain social media platforms such as Twitter, Facebook, and so on afford you the opportunity of a wide spectrum of audience. However, instead of trying to get the attention of other importers and exporters, it is very important that you instead look out for individuals with whom you can be able to discuss your products as well as your services. However, remember to be subtle and avoid trying to sell, just make sure you provide relevant information and show them that you are an expert.
It should, however, be noted that it's not really compulsory for you and your organization to be active on all social networks. A rather smarter approach will be to go for two or three networks that are more popular with the market that you are representing and try to get your presence established on them and bother less about the other platforms. Here are a few tips that should help you out in that regard:
Positive projection pays

Become an expert at exporting
It is advisable that you offer quotes for articles meant for news, it is also very important that you have useful information posted on social media platforms, therefore, showing that you now. Also, make sure that you answer questions while also making sure that your presence is well felt.
Be ready to teach
If possible, you could decide to carry out a free webinar or online course to an association or group. You can ask them for their various emails so as to send them more information. After doing this, you can then send them a list of tips or just about anything that can assist their business. people tend to be appreciative when you offer them something and as such will certainly respond quicker in a positive manner to you.
Adopting the right marketing and advertising approach
There are basically two ways in which you can get the message of your product across out there namely: advertising and marketing. By marketing, you simply get your name across to individuals that are writing blogs as well as guest blogs for the purpose of industry publications, on the other hand, advertising requires having a plan. Such a plan will involve you purchasing space on certain social network platforms, you must, however, be smart enough to be sure that you are reaching the right audience.
