If you are interested in expanding your business internationally, it is worth attending the ETAP workshops scheduled. Hema Dey will be speaking at two key sessions on Exploring Market Entry Strategies. Ms. Dey runs a workshop to give business owners an interactive hands on session on how to prepare an export marketing plan be it through distributors or through eCommerce. In 2015, her workshop was received very well in the City of Rancho Cucamonga where one of the ETAP programs was held. A team of high school students were selected for this event and produced some very creative export ideas for US made products. “It is an opportunity for CEO’s or business owners to break down barriers in cross border sales and marketing” says Ms. Dey.
Dates for two upcoming workshops are:
August 31st: Coachella Valley, CA
September 15th: Fontana, CA
