One of the best ways to expand your brand is to visit tradeshows in other countries. If you’re looking to grow your company in the South American market, you may want to consider attending a show in Brazil. However, shipping to Brazil can be tricky.
The major issue is loss or theft of goods when shipping to Brazil. If you’re shipping large quantities of items, the last thing you want is to receive opened boxes with missing items. Here’s what you need to know about tradeshow freight forwarding and how to best safeguard your material:
Consider What You Really Need
When it comes to participating in a tradeshow at a foreign destination, you need to weigh the pros and cons. Is it worth the time and energy required to ship items out to the location? Is there an actual market for your business in the new market? Do you actually need everything you’re planning on shipping?
If this is your first visit to Brazil for a tradeshow, you may want to consider downsizing a bit. It’s often best to downplay the tradeshow the first go around. This way, you can get a better feel for how it works and whether you truly have a market in this area of the world. If you already know there is a market, you’ll want to go over your standard tradeshow material and decide whether everything is truly necessary.
Don’t Draw Attention
Avoid drawing attention to your shipment. While you’ll need to include what kind of item you’re sending, avoid using name brands. By not using name brands within the description you won’t draw the kind of attention something with flashy lettering will draw.
Only Use International Tradeshow Shippers
Never use the mail for shipping to Brazil. You should only use an international tradeshow shipping provider. This will minimize your exposure to possible theft while taking your items out of the hands of the local post office.
