Understanding the medium:

A product is just a product until it is linked with a promotion, it then becomes an advertisement.

The most successful advertising campaigns are the result of a planned strategy and roll out. Throwing products at your target market without that planning is a waste your marketing dollars.

The product is only one component in the whole campaign. The creativity used to illicit a response is the key to increasing profits and promoting brands.

Local knowledge, experience and mistakes no company can afford:

These potential pitfalls include:

• Sizing and quality inferiority
• Late deliveries
• Lack of duty, safety and custom requirements
• Payment in advance without delivery guarantees
• Cash flow challenges due to prepayment
• Human rights infringements
