At Dynamic Brands, the first step we take before organizing a Trade Mission is getting to know our client. It?s essential for us to understand  things like their experience, export capacity, and the profiles of the business partners they are looking for, so that we can outline the process effectively. Sometimes if they are exporting a product with which we don?t have a lot of experience with or to a country less known by us, a Commercial Survey will be needed to identify potential business partners in that country. Once we have all that information potential partner lists are created. Careful follow-up is essential to determine whether these companies are genuinely interested in scheduling a meeting. Once we have identified serious potential partners interested in our client?s offer, we can continue. 

One of the essential parts of a Trade Mission is the organization and planning of the Business Agenda. All confirmed meetings are organized in the Business Agenda, ensuring everything is arranged with a margin for any unexpected delays without affecting punctuality. This Business Agenda is sent to the client in advance, allowing them to plan their time efficiently. 

To ensure that our client gets an optimal experience, we provide them with a key document containing valuable information to facilitate their travel planning. This document includes:

• Hotel recommendations: Advised accommodations near the location of the meetings.
• Transportation details: Information about the most commonly used means of transport in the destination country.
• Payment methods: Information about the most widely used payment options in the destination country. 

With the previous steps now clear, how are Trade Missions conducted and what distinguishes Dynamic Brands from other companies?

The export representative of the interested company will travel to the destination country to attend the meetings scheduled in the Business Agenda. Dynamic Brands offers additional support to the client by accompanying them in person during the mission and offering post-mission support in certain countries. This helps provide assurance and peace of mind, allowing the client to focus on other matters. During the meetings one of the parties involved may request an interpreter and Dynamic Brands can also provide this service. 

A Trade Mission not only allows clients to connect with potential partners, but it?s also a great way for the client to explore new business opportunities in the destination country, see how things work there and even spot some new potential partnerships. Overall, it will help them gain a better understanding of the country and it’s market.

If you?re ready to take your business to the next level, don?t hesitate to get in touch with our team. Don?t miss out on the opportunity to expand your reach with our help.
