Traditional export methods are no longer sufficient on their own. Today, reaching buyers from any part of the world cannot rely solely on attending trade fairs, sending out catalogs, or building a distributor network. What truly makes a difference is integrating digital marketing strategies into the export process.
Why is digital marketing so critical for a company engaged in global trade.
