Starting on Tuesday next, the seventh of September, Enterprise Ireland is to host a series of free, one hour, online seminars to help small businesses to explore the option of exporting.
Called the ‘Export Compass’ series, the seminars will take place every Tuesday morning at 10.00am for five weeks and will be hosted by experienced Enterprise Ireland staff and feature interviews with Irish companies who have successfully broken into export markets.
“One of the best ways to grow your business is to expand into international markets” says Louth County Council’s Head of Enterprise, Thomas McEvoy.
“For some businesses that means exporting directly to other countries. For others it means driving online sales in other countries.
“But either way, exporting can be a great way to find new markets and the Export Compass Series is designed to help you assess if its right for your business.”
The seminars will address different themes each week – developing an export plan, identifying customers, preparing for export, sales and marketing strategies, financing your exports and pricing your products.
The series aims to help business owners to overcome the challenges of the pandemic by understanding overseas business cultures, building digital capabilities for selling and developing customer, distributor and partner relationships.
Places are free, but strictly limited. Register by visiting our website www.localenterprise.ie/louth where you will find a link to the Export Compass Series on the homepage.
“These seminars are free to all micro and SME businesses and we encourage any local business thinking of expanding into export markets to sign up today” Thomas concluded.
