NOW is the time to organize your USA representation. Be ready for the inevitable business upturn!
The USA is the biggest market in the world. If you are not selling here, you are just walking away from a huge amount of business.
Having a USA customer service center eliminates most overseas phone calls, time zone problems and communications difficulties when dealing with your USA customers.
Get complete access to the entire USA market including Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico. You can also get coverage in Canada, the Bahamas, and some areas in the Caribbean.
Here are 16 ways to help make exporting your products to the USA easier and more profitable:
1) Want to establish a corporate or other business presence in the USA?
Need a USA corporation, Limited Liability Company, sales tax exemption/resale number, local business license, USA accountant? Need a banking introduction for a USD bank account?
2) Need to have a local contact for USA customers or prospects?
USA buyers are not accustomed and generally unwilling to call overseas. Having a USA-based “forward office” will greatly increase your business here and your customers' satisfaction.
3) Need someone to answer your business phone when it is 3 AM in your time zone?
You don't want to do this yourself, and you can't just let the phone ring, either.
4) Need a returns center in the USA?
USA customers expect to ship returns to a USA location. You then decide if you want returns shipped back to you, repaired, or discarded. If you tell a customer to “just throw it away” you have destroyed any perceived value of your product.
5) Need a lawyer in the USA? (Yes, sooner or later, you will.)
Legal services available in the USA include collection letters, trademark and copyright issues, contract negotiation, representation.
6) Need a USA mailing address?
This greatly increases your business credibility here, and will result in far more inquiries and orders.
7) Need refunds processing in USD in the USA?
USA customers expect their refunds to be prompt and in US Dollars – no exceptions!
8) Want to avoid delays and overseas postage when you answer USA inquiries or ship literature, catalogs or merchandise to USA customers?
Having your literature or catalogs already in the USA saves you postage, speeds your response time, and shows USA customers you can be relied upon. You tell us where to mail them and we will.
9) Want to have your USA inquiries sent to you in bulk instead of one at a time?
Have your inquiries sent to a USA location, and then forwarded to you in bulk by Global Priority Mail. This lets you use a USA postage prepaid reply envelope instead of making your prospects figure out overseas postage and then go to the post office to mail something to you – and guess what, they are NOT going to do that! Always make it easy for people to give you money!
10) Need to stock common replacement parts in the USA?
Does your product always need the same replacement parts or supplies, time after time? Having them on our shelves here in the USA, ready to ship, will increase your customer satisfaction.
11) Need order fulfillment in the USA?
Avoid delays, customs problems, breakage, loss, and expensive overseas shipping. Have your products here in advance, ready to be shipped out promptly. Prepackaged or bulk.
12) Need your own toll-free phone or fax number in the USA?
Shared or dedicated toll-free phone and fax numbers are available at very reasonable cost. Calls and faxes can be forwarded to you, or answered here outside of your normal business hours.
13) Exhibiting at a trade show in the USA?
Pre-ship your supplies, samples, products, displays, literature and everything else you need a month or so in advance. Avoid last minute disasters with lost packages, customs problems, or trying to drag it along with you on the airplane. You can even pre-ship clothing or uniforms, so you can travel light when you are ready to go to the trade show - all you need to bring are the clothes you are wearing. Everything else will be here waiting for you, and can be picked up or shipped domestically to the exhibit hall. When you are done, return everything here, and don't worry about packaging everything for export or trying to take back it with you. It will be done here, and everything will follow you home later, at your convenience.
14) Buying commercial or residential property in the USA?
We are a licensed mortgage brokerage with a long history of specializing in USD mortgages for foreign nationals, and can provide financing for business and residential properties in Florida and some other states. Legal services, value appraisal, boundary survey, title (conveyancing) services and insurance services available.
15) Buying airplanes, automobiles, boats, machinery or construction equipment in the USA?
You'll need a place to put it while it is prepared for export! We have direct runway access to a private airfield, and we have storage space available as well. Seaports available include Jacksonville, Riviera Beach, Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Miami and Tampa. We have easy access to Orlando International Airport and Daytona Beach International Airport as well. We are ten miles from Interstate 95, which is the main north-south highway in Florida (and the US), and about 20 miles from Interstate 4, which runs east-west across Florida. We are adjacent to the Intracoastal Waterway. If you are really planning ahead, we are 25 miles north of Kennedy Space Center's commercial space launch facilities.
