Why Export

OK, this blog is about exporting to the Pacific Northwest so let's get to it. First, why export? It's a lot of work right? It's going to cost me a lot of time and effort right? Yes to all of that. But.... the US has 15 times more people than Australia and the different in GNP is even larger. Meaning there is tons of opportunity here. There is a saying that the US really does not need anything else, but want is another thing! Australian companies of every size and shape have had success here and you can as well. One nice thing about engaging the US market is there are literally dozens of nice size markets which offer success in their own right. While LA and NY are large markets they tend to tougher to get into. Look to smaller areas like Seattle, Denver, Charlotte, Austin TX, Salt Lake City and others. They all have reasonable size markets in many cases similar to Melbourne or Brisbane and the competition is a little less intense.

It all boils down to massive opportunity. As you might notice I am partial to Seattle. It's a great market with a number of strong business sectors. In future posts I'll highlight some of them. In the meantime check out my website http://www.exporting-to-seattle.com/ for an advanced preview.
