Market Outreach
Once you have validated a market opportunity for your products in the Middle East, it is time to start prospecting! Making contact with suitable overseas retailers, food service providers, HORECA customers, distributors and buying partners is fundamental to starting export sales. For many brands, accessing and especially engaging with key potential partners is challenging. It can take significant time and investment to find the relevant route to market in the first instance, followed by selecting the appropriate partner or person, understanding how best to make the approach and entering into a sales dialogue.
Key Areas of Market Outreach
- Conducting market research to understand the market, consumer preferences, and market dynamics.
- Identifying potential retail or distribution partners with a strong presence and understanding of the local market.
- Evaluating potential partners based on their distribution capabilities, market reach, reputation, and alignment with your brand’s values and target market.
- Actively networking and engaging with industry associations, trade organizations, and business networks in the Middle East.
- Participating in relevant trade shows, exhibitions, and industry events to establish connections and meet potential partners.
- Initiating conversations and building relationships with key decision-makers at target retailers or distributors through direct outreach, meetings, and presentations.
- Showcasing your brand’s unique selling propositions, quality standards, and product range to generate interest and build credibility.
