Explore Export Best Practice – ExportSavvy Bitesize changes

We’ve been working on the ExportSavvy site to make it more accessible. From today, you can now access our Bitesize content without password.

The Bitesize section of ExportSavvy contains articles detailing ‘best practice’ methods for a range of issues of interest to people who want to successfully grow their business overseas. Packed with useful, practical tips, checklists and links to give you a single point of access to the fundamentals.

All you have to do is click on your chosen subject area. Each subject is broken down into a number of topics which are clearly explained. From the same page, where appropriate you can access relevant links to explore further or move on to a linked in-depth module (Think it Through). Access to Think it Through still requires you to be a registered user. You can do that through ourselves or one of our partners and there may be a fee involved.

You can access Bitesize by clicking on the image below or by clicking here.

We look forward to welcoming you to the full ExportSavvy site when you have explored Bitesize.

Export Basics – Pricing and Discounts

In negotiating your Partner agreement you will want to create a win/win situation. So understanding your partner’s need for profit is an important starting point.

Research market prices and understand your competition. Do not assume that pricing will be at the same level as in the UK.

Position your offer carefully taking account of the ‘competitive landscape’ and agree this with your partner. Be clear about the relationship between your pricing, the specific benefits of your product and the way in which the product will be promoted. Getting this right and being confident that you partner is in agreement with your strategy is key to maximising your (and your partner’s) profitability.

Happy New Year 2015

Is 2015 the year when you get started with your export efforts?

There are many good reasons to export and many good ways to get started.

ExportSavvy is a resource that can help you with best practice and experience from people who have been there – both within our team and in video interviews with export advisors and successful exporters. Find out more about us.

We wish you a successful 2015 in business and personal terms.

Protect Your Intellectual Property – BiteSize Exporting

Your intellectual property is the product of the creativity of your business. Like any other property it can be bought, sold or licensed. Because it is valuable it is worth protecting.

Moving your business into overseas markets requires you to review the protection of your intellectual property. You are exposing yourself to wider risk and the protection you enjoy in the UK may not extend abroad.

Copyright

Copyright does not require any formal registration. It becomes yours as you produce it. Most countries internationally have signed up to international laws which recognise copyright, although the strictness with which these are enforced can vary.
