16. Lykkeberg/Amanda/Bornholms participated
with products at a charity event in Sao Paolo.
Partly to get feedback on the products and
partly to get products into Brazil.
The products were well received, but if the
visitors of this event represented the right
Brazilian population is doubtfull.
Brazil – Scandinavian Fair
Challenges:
It’s very difficult to get products into Brazil if they are not approved in advance.
Even getting the labels approved when you have found an importer, is not easy and takes a long,
long time.
17. JAPANESE MARKET:
• Difficult to brake through on these
distant
markets together as they need a long
term
persistence market processing
Japan - Tokyo Foodex
• Our products seem only to fit a niche
area within the food business
POSITIVE:
• Sharing expenses for the booth and
inviting potential customers together.
• Showing a wide range of products and
being able to share transportation of
products
on a first trial order.
NEGATIVE:
• Too small booth for 3 companies,
difficult for the visitors to understand
how 3 competing companies would be
in the same booth.
• Could be overwhelming for visitors to
enter the booth, when three companies
made the approach and some
products competed.
18. Separate booths in Dubai and showing
Lykkebergs products at our booth did not
work very well. Better placed at Amanda –
but not a big succes.
Our products seem only to fit a niche area
within the food business.
Dubai - Seafex POSITIVE:
• The Nordic reputation can help us with quality
issues.
CHALLENGES:
• Our products are not known in the Middle
East.
We have to teach them how to use our
products.
That is not an easy proces.
• Tried to set up a ”Tasting Event” together
with the Royal Danish Consulate General,
Dubai
– unfortunately without succes.
• Our products seem only to fit limited
eating situations.
• Listing fees in the retail chains are high.
