Although Certified Worldwide (CW) has already identified potential markets, there are still several factors associated with a successful export venture. This memo outlines my thoughts on CW’s product policy, distribution channels, finding new clients, terms of sale and international shipping, payment methodology, as well as customs and government relations. Product Policy Considerations International standardization is the best option, since the products sold meet universal needs. Standardization can reduce costs by streamlining production, which involves fewer “part types”, ordered in larger quantities. Using the same “part types” for all production runs decreases costs, and buying in bulk often saves money as well. Standardization also reduces setup time, so more time is going towards producing the product rather than preparing to produce, which in turn improves the production rate and the company’s ability to meet orders faster. Uniform packaging reinforces product branding, therefore, travelers can easily identify CW’s products. However, slight differences must be incorporated, for example, creating labels in the native language, and using the correct measurement system (metric vs imperial). Distribution Channel and Finding Clients A direct marketing plan utilizing the company’s pre-established website may be effective in the sale of supplements and vitamins that consumers can purchase ahead of time, however, it is less efficient in the sale of over-the-counter

Exporting has become a very important business strategy nowadays.

Selling a product internationally along with the 4 P’s (planning, producing, placing, and promoting) process of a company is called global marketing (Global Marketing, 2017).

Corporations will design packages specifically for different markets, as different cultures have different expectations. One of the big comparisons in this section is how American packages are meant to be “unthinkingly accepted” (Hine 123), whereas in Japanese culture, the packaging is made to be appreciated by the consumer. In Japan, each package is meant to signify some part of their culture and history. As a result, to sell their products internationally, Japanese corporations will hire designers from different countries to help design the
There is a significant correlation between an increase in direct-to-consumer pharmaceutical advertisements and an increase in prescriptions. The critics who are opposed to direct-to-pharmaceutical advertisements suggest that more advertising leads to more requests and more prescriptions of certain medications. They also claim that the publications of such advertisements may eventually blur the distinction between patient and consumer if we are not careful. Physicians have reported that most patients who are knowledgeable on a DTC advertised pharmaceutical
Direct-to-Consumer (DTC) marketing of prescription drugs in America has been debatable. DTC marketing has its benefits and disadvantages. There has been much discussion with DTC marketing over the role of consumers in medical decision making, the appropriateness of consumers engaging in self-diagnosis, and the ethics of an industry promoting potentially harmful drugs. Drug marketing and federal policy governing drug marketing have both responded to and reinforced changes in the consumer's role in health care and in the doctor patient relationship over time. A benefit of direct marketing of prescription drugs is that patients have a direct route of being informed instead of having to visit the doctors and have a third party involved. DTC allows

In the 1800s, David Ricardo developed the theory of comparative advantage to measure gains from trades. This theory is based on comparative advantage and it states each nation should specialize in production of those goods for which its relatively more efficient with a lower opportunity cost.

Since Canada uses a metric system and has French as a second official language, this will be added to the packaging to be used domestically as well. A review of the wording, images and color scheme by a Canadian based marketing company will be done to eliminate possible negative local context. By using blended packaging, it will increase the economies of scale as it eliminates the need for separate retail packaging and inventory.
In Standardization the aggregation of demand information can help them to better forecast the need of the continent instead of the need of a country within that continent. Standardization will reduce required parts inventory due to risk pooling and reduce parts cost due to economies of scales.
