1)
ABOUT YOUR BUSINESS IN LATIN AMERICA.
Well, I think
that Uruguay is a little country to sell your product with our brand,
because is a local brand. I think that you must work, as the other
manufacturers, with a common polity of marketing in Latin America, and the
same brand. As I inform you in our previous email, you must invest in
marketing to make your product knoiwng in Latin America. Genius has bought
to us some spanish brochures, and they are making a special spanish website
to serve the whole Latin American market.
My experience (that
you can see that is very deep) said that to sale any product in this market,
you need some minimun requierements that, fortunately today, thanks to the
technology, it is more economic than some years ago.
We are specialist in this work, and we can develop for you a consultancy package that includes:
1.1) A Spanish
Web Site, similar to the one that you have in English.
1.2) Spanish
electronic brochures for all your products.
1.3)
Consultancy about market penetration and development of latin american
distribution network, as well as a distribution strategy (logistic), since
surely is more economic to make big shipments toward a point of regional
distribution, and of there to the region that to make shipments point to
point from the factory to each country.
We have
specialization in logistics of international business. Fortunately, in
Uruguay we have Commercial Free Zones, where the manufacturers can leave
the merchandise without paying taxes for its distribution in Latin America.
1.4) Training
in technical regional support, to honours the guarantees of the
products.Inclusive we can offer to make this service, our proper facilities,
to make technical supports in spanish through email or for MSN (Audio and
Video).
1.5) Strategy
of prices for the region.
It is very important to configure an appropriate and competitive strategy of prices so that your products arrive to the final users in each country, with such an attractive value that it makes them desirable and competitive against other products that show brands that are already very well-known in each market.
Each country
administers different tariffs, taxes to the consumption, introduction costs
and promotion costs. It is necessary to know what will be the suggested
retail price to final users, with a reasonable utility for the resellers
(point of sales) and wholesale distributors in each country, and obviously
to compare it with the prices that at this time are offering the competition
in each one of these markets.
If you already
have achieved this study, please you send it to me, otherwise, we could
include it in our consultancy work, since it is fundamental before making
investments of any type in the region, to know that it is had real
commercial possibilities to win a substantial share marketing.
1.6) Regional
distribution channel.
The work of our
consultancy, could include, our work to talk with the other distributors of
GTCO in Latin America to also interest them. It is very possible that if
they receive our invitation, be more permeable to work with your lines, if
they know that we are acting as your regional Distributors or Latin America
Representation.
Mainly with
Argentina, Chile, Paraguay and Brazil we have excellent relationships.
Obviously so
that this was possible, we have to know your conditions, prices, guarantees,
international agreement, etc, of that which your you would owe enviarmos the
material to make an appropriate evaluation, an estimate of costs of the on
products in each country.
Of each one of
the products that you want to sell in the region, we have to know how they
come packed, how much they weigh and what volume they occupy, and if you
have not made it yet, we have to determine which the most economic shipment
form is, and according to the projected sale volumes, we could delineate the
strategy of more appropriate introduction.
1.7) About
AIPTEK business in Latin America.
As you can see,
this email is quite more extensive and deeper that the previous ones.
Before answering you this email, I have revised in depth the AIPTEK Web site. There, I have seen that AIPTEK have installed offices in Germany and United States. Therefore, I think that it is a company that is betting seriously to develop market, and it is investing resources in it.
It should not
be then for AIPTEK any novelty that to introduce their products in Latin
America, it is also necessary to invest. You surely have very clear these
concepts. AIPTEK is not a well-known mark in Latin America. It is clear that
for comparison, it has not carried out the investment that GTCO has carried
out neither it has support neither specialized personnel to assist the
channel in Latin America.
That doesn't
mean that AIPTEK is not an excellent opportunity of business. Sincerelly, I
don't know it. However, I have absolutely clear it is that to convince
buyers, distributors, it is necessary to have an operative infrastructure
and dedicated to the Latin American channel that I ignore if you already
have. As a comment only, with the exception of Brazil, the whole rest of the
continent speaks Spanish.
Personally as
surely you will have revised in my Professional Web Site, we only work with
companies that have that infrastructure or that they are already brands so
recognized in the world that they don't specify a lot of presentation, and
that our customers request us without we have to make a great sale effort.
We, as any
serious company that is already a distributor of first line brands, point to
business to medium term, not opportunity business. It is too expensive to
impose a brand in a country, for few sales.
As I have
read, AIPTEK points to occupy a preference place in the market and it is
working for it.
For that reason, I offer to you, to develop this activity for you that it will be fundamental to confront durable business in the region, and without the one which, it will be very difficult to you, to obtain a serious distribution channel that compensates the effort. Also, as part of the work, we can constitute ourselves in your regional office, what would facilitate very much the canalization of business toward you. I am talking to show to the world as AIPTEK Latin America.
Uruguay is a
special country. We have excellent communications (100% digitalized), a very
good banking system, ... internal peace, commercial free zones, and an
excellent educational level.
Somebody, has
to make this work to develop the market in Latin America. We are in the
business of the Graphic Arts and the CAD, among other, and we make
consultancy, we can make it with better accuracy and results that nobody,
and surely for a value of very attractive fee.
f AIPTEK thinks
that goes to introduce its products in Latin America without having all this
previously summarized and analyzed information, it is in an error, and an
enormous surprise can also be taken.
If on the
contrary the interest of AIPTEK is to achieve some punctual sales, and to
disappear of the market, I should comment to you that in Latin America, they
have already had embarrassing experiences in this respect, and in the market
of the technology, those companies never work with channels of distribution
of first line, because us and our colleagues, we should give local support
to the clients beyond what implies the sale exclusively, and the focused
business in that way always finishes generating losses and problems.
In summary. AIPTEK knows that it is necessary to be a company of first line to be an authorized distributor of GTCO, because GTCO doesn't accept that any company blindfolds its products. It is a relationship of mutual demand that we complete and we respect. Surely for that reason they contacted us.
2) ¿WHAT NEXT?
We can develop
the complete project so that this work will be possible and profitable. If
AIPTEK is interested, we can quote this consultancy work that we understand
should be previous to the development of business in the region, so that the
same one is successful.
I have also
seen that your company markets other products. I suggest that if you think
that they are really competitive, this effort of market penetration... point
to all the lines, that which would surely make viable the commercialization
and the reach of important volumes of export.
I am to your
disposition, and in case AIPTEK is interested, I would thank to you that you
sent me the detailed information requested on the products that AIPTEK are
interested in selling in Latin America.

Dear friend:
1) About me. You could read my Professional Web Site at http://www.etchegaray.webya.com.uy
2) About my Company. I have several companies in Uruguay. TecnoPyme (formerly Softec) has focused in Graphics Arts, CAD but if you read my Professional Web site, you can understand mores about this. I am developing at this moment several web sites for some companies as TecnoPyme, mainly with the target in mind of e-commerce.
3) My relation with GTCO. From 2001 I am the Official distributor in Uruguay. I have selling all that this market can buy, but the GTCO products are expensives, and for this reasons they are not many popular and the cosumer public of these products is CAD Designer mainly. We sell too Plotters (Roland and HP DesignJet) and a lot of software solution for Graphics Arts as Corel. I have see that you have popular products that GTCO has'nt.I think that it will be a new option. Here in Uruguay, and in Latin America, the product that is more offered is KYE Genius. If you wish compete against these products (at that level) you must have better marketing and price structure.
4) What can I offer you. One of my professional works, is Latin America developing market, marketing material and web sites translation, and technical material translation. We too make rounds trips by Argentina, Chile, Brasil and Paraguay (mainly) to channel distribution purposes, when I arrive to an agreement whit the manufacturer to make this work. I suggest you that see my professional Web site deeply.
Kind Regards
