Community positively welcomed the ice and only in a few weeks other stores throughout the United States to send a reservation for this new ice cream. Of-mouth marketing is enough to improve the distribution of these products to the urban centers and cities and universities in the Northeast region. People across America sent a letter asking how to get Haagen-Dazs near where he lived. Some even volunteering to distribute this product. Mattus girls then proposed the idea to open a shop selling only brand Haagen-Dazs. The first store opened in Brooklyn and opened a new era for this brand and was followed in major cities across America.

January 1st, 2010

Business Online or Business Internet like two sides of a coin. Both sides can not be separated. Online business can be congruent with their meaning in the Internet business because the business model is to use the internet facility as a marketing media products and services. So, in Online Business, internet marketing services is the media that became known the term Internet Marketing.

Online Internet Marketing really is not much different from running business offline. There are no buyers sellers, there are products that are sold and there are payment instruments. However, minor differences are precisely the characteristic of the Business Online.

For example only, in Business Online, how can marketing via e-mail, mailing lists, advertising, blogs and websites are all internet based. Blogs are increasingly likely to become a media miners money often referred to as make money blogging. Like a shop or store, website or blog for example, can be made, Blog shop, online store, shop digital or similar names.

In Business Online, which marketed products can be physical products or digital products. Physical product in this case requires delivery of products through post services, while digital products like ebook, software, other internet access using an internet connection.

It is said that overseas, Online Business grew rapidly. This is because the business models emerged and evolved Online for the first time overseas, developed only a few years in Indonesia. It is said that (again) there are many people who rely on income from Business Online. From small-scale trade, sell services and skills to become a successful businessman with a Internet Marketer.

In practice, Business Online can be done anywhere jaingan origin connected with the Internet. Looks easy? Yes for the already expert, for the beginners course so difficult that still need to learn. Because the internet connection lasted 24 hours nonstop, then the space and time to run the Business Online is not limited so that transactions can be done anytime.

The phrase may be true. Because the Internet connection services as media Business Online allows almost all processes in this Online Business for 24-hour automated non-stop. Between Business Online, Internet Marketing and Make Money Blogging, three interlocked so that can not be separated.

Hopefully this post can be DOOR SIGN for me to start posting articles about online business on the next occasion, and certainly, I said, keep learning, including learning to Friend Bloggers all. Because I believe that somehow, Online Business practice becomes nonsense if you do not want to Learning Online Business itself.

While the purpose of the L / C itself to the exporters feel the exports will be paid (the payment guarantee) provided that the terms-requirement L / C can be met and also at the same time providing security for the parties involved in transactions that were held since L / C is also a bank agreement to resolve international commercial transactions.

L / C in the export trade in general is Irrevocable L / C means the L / C opening bank said this promise cannot be withdrawn in the payment of export or money order filed with the documents required in L / C and L / C This can only be canceled with the consent of the parties concerned.

Also sometimes we often get offers from importers to accept the L / C transferable nature. The purpose of the L / C is that the L / C can be transferred from the beneficiary of origin / first to one or several other beneficiary. Type L / C can be transferred only once, which means that the second beneficiary is not allowed to move into the third beneficiary unless there are instructions / other statements that clearly stated in the L / C is.

Seven Step of EXPORT

September 25th, 2009

The definition of export is the sale of goods to foreign countries with payment systems, quality, quantity and other sales terms have been approved by the exporters and importers. Goods sell by exporters to overseas subjected to various conditions and restrictions and special conditions in certain commodities, including how handlers and security. Every country has its rules and regulations of trade different. Special export of agricultural commodities and fisheries in Indonesia do not have the bulk of the terms and conditions that are too complicated even the government now makes every company to export agricultural and fishery abroad.

What should be noted by every company exporting is a matter of quality or standard quality, for export of agricultural and fishery is mainly used as an ingredient of human consumption (human consumption) by the importing country in every sense of that required by importers, especially the quality that must be met in addition to also be able to ensure continuity of these commodities. The average of the exporters, importers wanting to supply continuously, so it is an obligation to maintain the credibility exporters in order not to lose market share that already exist.

Before a company’s export activities to note a few things that are often overlooked include:

Able to analyze the commodity market opportunities and target countries for export markets, it is important to note if we are not able to analyze it is not impossible owned commodities will not be sold in the market or be sold due to long competition from similar commodities which the state-owned competitors, and also commodity quality standards do not meet the standards offered.

Can we know the world market prices, especially prices offered competitor countries for similar commodities?

Can do correspondence / correspondence with the buyer is good and compelling content offerings without giving too much. Please note that the initial export transactions conducted through correspondence well in advance via e-mail, mail or Facsimile. Company letterhead must appear attractive (grace and beautiful) that can provide added value and grammar used either in correspondence or promotion / advertising can be a mirror and the existence of the company.

Frequent discussions with consultants or business agents who had started the first export order to explore the experience both joy and grief as a lesson for companies to start export. Or can also obtain additional knowledge and experience from the media or the Internet.

If we have the first order (first order / trial orders) This is the initial test for exporters who will be judged by the importer of good exporter companies, whether exporters can keep the commitments agreed upon in particular about the quality and timeliness. But if the exporters can pass through this stage then the trust will grow from importers and this is the first step in achieving success in the export business.

To be able to through it all we would need to know about export procedures before. As for the procedure or the stages of export by using the payment system in the form of Letter of Credit (L / C) at sight, is as follows:

1. Exporters bidding (offer sheet) via correspondence to the buyer / importer…

2. Exporters send sales contracts (sales contracts) to the buyer sometimes included with the pro forma invoice (PI), this is one important document due under the sales agreement, contract pro forma invoice is then both parties have been bound. In the sales contract / pro forma invoices are generally listed the number of goods, quality, specification, price, etc. sales conditions and sales contract / pro forma invoice is also used as a reference by the importer in the proposed opening of L / C to his bank and it is also intended by the importer to relevant agencies in importing countries provide an import permit or foreign exchange licenses.

3. Importers ask the bank in the country to open a Letter of Credit L / C (opening bank / Issuing Bank) to exporters.

4. Issuing bank / bank opening L / C to the advising bank in the exporting countries.

5. L / C in the forward / advice by the advising bank in the country to the exporter.

6. Exporter prepares and delivers goods in accordance with the requirements in the L / C is.

7. Exporters get a Bill of Lading (B / L) from the shipping company and complete the export documents required in any other L / C is used by exporters to negotiate with the Negotiating bank in the country. After all the documents examined by the Negotiating Bank and in accordance with the provisions of the L / C then the exporter is able to receive payments from the export of Negotiating bank.

Starting First Step Export

September 5th, 2009

Before starting the export activities there are some important things to do include:

Preparing the best human resources.

Preparing a product or commodity to be traded (product knowledge).

Knowing the distribution channels of products or commodities to be traded, the countries of export destination and the other countries competing exporters.

Able to analyze the development or the world market opportunities

1. Preparing HR (Human Resources) as possible.

This is important as a basis for the survival of a company. An export company employees have to be smoothly controlled foreign language (in this case English), understood and mastered in making bids letters (correspondence), manufacture and export documents and certainly understand the L / C or other payment systems such as TT exports . Besides, an agricultural export company must also have people who served as quality control (QC) of goods, both the company as a manufacturer directly or as a trader because the best quality of the delivered goods will determine our performance in the eyes of importers / buyers in addition to on time delivery course.

Some examples of the letters in the correspondence as follows:

- Company Introduction Letter (Introduce Letter)

This letter may be sent to prospective buyers who are considered worthy either via e-mail, air mail or fax.

The contents of this letter briefly explained about the company profile and products or commodities that are owned.

-Letter of Interest from the importer (Inquiry Letter)

This letter comes from prospective buyers / importers usually after seeing the company profile, or ads that we attach several websites or on reference of our trade attaches abroad.

This letter requested that we provide in the form of price bid (price), the ability of supply (supply ability), we have the quality (quality), duration of delivery (delivery time), packaging (packing), payment terms (payment terms) etc are considered necessary.

-Letter of Offer (Offer sheet)

This letter is made by exporters to importers in return for a letter of interest from importers in answering these questions so that interesting importers to continue to interact until the order or order placement.

Please note that the initial export transactions conducted through correspondence well in advance via e-mail, mail or Facsimile. Company letterhead must appear attractive (grace and beautiful) that can provide added value and grammar used either in correspondence or promotion / advertising can be a mirror and the existence of the company.

2. Preparing Product or Export Commodities

Before any offer to prospective buyers the exporter must first prepare the products or commodities that will be thrown into the world market, for products or commodities are not the result of an industrial / manufacturing should prepare items easily available, the amount that can be provided continuously (continuity ) and easy to produce. A company must know in detail whether the product is concerned about the specifications or other matters. To further support the future marketing of a company should also prepare a company’s website or can also be a product catalog to be included in future correspondence because it is often asked by the importer.

3. Knowing the distribution channels of products or commodities to be traded, the countries of export destination and the other countries competing exporters.

If we already have a product or commodity to be exported should also know the distribution channels, to any country of this commodity much in demand making it easier for us to do marketing.

In addition we also should know the competing countries that have similar commodities with better quality of our country that they have and the price they threw into the world market. It is intended that we can compete with them to reach the world market share are available.

4. Able to analyze the development or the world market opportunities

This is important if we want to develop our exports to other countries due to many world countries which have established manufacturing products of processing agricultural products in addition they also throw some local market like traditional markets or supermarkets as the continued growth of population. Besides it is necessary to also know the trend of world market prices for commodities to be marketed.

The things mentioned above seem trivial, but these things can also cause a very difficult company to sell commodities to foreign countries.

Also frequently good discussions with consultants or business agents who had started the first export order to explore the experience both joy and grief as a lesson for companies to start export. Or can also obtain additional knowledge and experience from the media or the Internet.

If we have the first order (first order / trial orders) This is a test for exporters who will be judged by the importer of good exporter companies, whether exporters can keep the commitments agreed upon in particular about the quality and timeliness. But if the exporters can pass through this stage then the trust will grow from importers and this is the first step in achieving success in the business of export.

So what is done when we have been able to export activities?

Maintaining a good image, by giving a good performance, commodity information is offered right there and always respond to letters either by e-mail or fax directly no more than 24 hours, because buyers usually want a reply as soon as possible.

Maintaining a good reputation by continuing to maintain the quality and timeliness so that buyers will continue to believe to make it easier for exporters and exporters to develop other buyer market.

Develop and maintain market share of existing markets in order not to loose the other competitors.
