Breaking into international markets: A sweet export journey

Think exporting is only for large-scale businesses? Think again! 

In this webinar, Gbemi Shitta, SweetDoughThings will show how exporting can be for businesses of any size. 

Starting your export journey as a small business needs to be demystified. Gbemi will demonstrate that it is not as complex as it’s made out to be, if you seek appropriate guidance.

It, however, involves adequate research into new markets, understanding international regulations, and finding reliable logistics, in some cases trade finance solutions, to reach customers abroad.

To grow export operations, it’s important to have a strategic plan. You will need to make your products more competitive by amplifying your USP and establish strong connections with foreign partners and distributors.

You can also leverage the Department of Business and Trade at no cost.

Don’t miss this useful webinar that will set you on the path to exporting.
