Trade Shows
Find buyers at U.S. and international trade shows. Trade shows are “shop windows” where thousands of companies from many countries display their goods and services. They are a marketplace where buyers and sellers can meet with mutual convenience.
Trade shows can benefit your export strategy in several ways:
- Present your products and services to a wide audience (especially if it’s better for buyers to view them in person),
- Get trade leads,
- Meet with numerous potential buyers or partners,
- Check out the competition, and
- Leverage U.S. or state government support.
