The Net has completely transformed the practical process of export promoting for small and middle-sized enterprises. I have more than 35 years of practical experience in traditional export promoting and now 7 years of practical experience in Internet marketing experience for clients.The process of export marketing remains the same but the tools available to the potential exporter have changed.
The first task you must do is:
Market research
You should identify the states you can probably export successfully to by conducting market research, using the Internet and contacting the various official agencies in your country that will provide market research from their foreign offices that often have a massive quantity of data available. I did this sort of research for a Canadian Wild Bird Food company who, based on my research, opted not to try exporting to the UK.
If your market research identifies potential markets, then the next move should be the development of a functional business internet site. This process should include:
Keyword analysis
Design of a site with conversion design in mind
Writing of clear, concise content with calls to action

Pay per Click marketing

Social media marketing
The utilization of these Internet marketing techniques will alter dependent on your product or service and your target market, but done properly , you can be assured of a return on investment. My experience with economic clients wishing to export has shown me the ROI of Internet marketing can be serious. Most critically, the Internet has allowed small and middle-sized businesses to market internationally and compete in a domain that was reserved for enormous organisations with much bigger promoting budgets.
