Not if any business is possible without a customer. That is why a merchant is always looking for an honest customer. Many new exporters also select products but they do not have the right information on how to find their product related customers in the export market, so today we will get the right information on how to find buyers in the export market. We will see the whole process of how to find customers to export in this blog today.
SOCIAL MEDIA
- We can find many buyers through social media. We can get our product related buyers using social media like facebook,linkedin,snap chat,whatsapp etc. to find buyers.
- To find a buyer in the export market, you must first create a profile in your social media. The profile should be professional. You can also put a group photo with your company employees for a professional look in your profile. Once you've created a business profile, you can post information about your product to your social media profile. And get buyers related to export products by targeting your product related country. Linkedin is a world-renowned social media app for gaining buyers but great care must be taken when creating an account on LinkedIn. Creating a professional account on Linkedin is more beneficial.
- Using social media, you can also find export product related customers by joining Import Export Related Group.
B2B SITES
- In the export-import business we also use some B2B sites to find (Buyer) customers. Many B2B sites can find an export client even without a paid subscription and many B2B sites without paying a subscription. In the B2B website we can get the lead of many export customers. For example by using b2b sites like Alibaba, India Mart, Trade India, Exports India etc. we can find customers related to exports. We can find export purchasers with paid subscriptions on some B2B websites and also without paid membership fees on some B2B sites.
TRADE FAIR & EXHIBITION
- We can also get export buyers by participating in various trade fairs or exhibitions during the year or by visiting trade fairs or exhibitions without participating.
- Export buyers can also be received with the help of Trade fair or exhibition directory and record list.
- If your product is used as a raw material for a company, you can also find an export buyer by targeting that company.
EXPORT PROMOTION COUNCIL
- Each product related has an Export Promotion Council. This Export Promotion Council helps the exporter in finding the buyer and generating the buy lead of the exporter.
- Export Promotion Council also provides product related information to Exporter and information related to product related country.
INDIAN EMBASSY
- There is an Indian Embassy in every country. These Indian embassies also help in finding buyers and exports.
- The country of export can be targeted and requested by sending a list of importers, whole sellers, retailers in the mail to the Indian embassy there.
- While mailing your IEC code to the Indian Embassy, please provide product information such as HS code etc. to the Indian Embassy in the mail.
PERSONAL MEET & VISIT
- A personal visit is a very easy way to get a genuine buyer and check the authenticity of the company.
- To make a personal visit, first make an appointment for a face-to-face meeting with the buyer, then visit the buyer at the appointed time and finalize the deal if deemed appropriate.
