Benefits of Exporting:

When Domestic Sales are good, when your local Competition is getting
tougher
or when Sales decrease, the time is ripe for you to start Exporting to
gain new Revenues.

Your profits can rise faster, if your company's fixed costs are covered
by
domestic operations.
| Reduction of dependence on traditional Markets.
You can strengthen your company by diversifying into International Markets.

techniques learned from exposure to the global marketplace can be successfully
applied domestically.

Reasons to Globalize your Business by
using the Internet:
| The following figures (from the Aberdeen
Group, 2001) point to the enormous opportunity
in using the Internet to
expand international sales: |
| Non-U.S. Web surfers account for 65%
of all Web traffic worldwide, and non-English-speaking
surfers for 55%. |
| More than 20% of traffic on U.S.- based Websites comes from outside the
U.S. |
| By 2004, B-to-B (business-to-business) E-Commerce revenue is estimated to
surpass
$7 trillion (North America represents $2.8 trillion, or 40%) |
| By 2003, 66% of all E-Commerce spending will originate outside the U.S. |
| Companies are experiencing increased international competition because
telecommunications
is no longer an inhibitor, and the Web has reduced the
geographical barriers to entry;
retailing has expanded beyond cross-border
to become truly global. |
