Pls kindly take some time to my reply.

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.
1.1) A Spanish Web Site, similar to the one that you have in English.
I have 2 choices to make such a Spanish website. One is that you design and build the website for me. By doing this, I can show and focus on the models which I would like to promote in Latin America; the other is that you translate the whole English wording of Taiwan Website and I ask our Website people to add Spanish pages to current website infrastructure. Which one do you suggest and why?
1.2) Spanish electronic brochures for all your products.
I think it not a problem. I can send you the editable files, which is in English, of the models that you think suitable to the market and you help me translate it into Spanish.
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.
About Logistic, could you explain your complete procedure, the location of regional branches you have, the area you can reach and your service covers, how you would charge me, and what the rate is? I’d love to know that as we are eager to build business quickly in the area. About Free Zone, do you mean you can ship the merchandise to other country like Chile without paying any extra tax or duty? How many countries are involved? All the countries in South America? Or just Mercosur’s members? Besides, would you tell me what the rate of import duty and VAT tax are in Uruguay? I would like to calculate the total cost in case I export goods to Uruguay and distribute the merchandise to surrounding countries.
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).
I am sorry but not very clear about what you wrote here. Do you mean you can offer repair (break-fix) service in your company? Or what you mean is the technical support like trouble-shooting and FAQ on website or by email and MSN? Does it include doing some usage training to your dealer-level customer and even end users? Pls remark. Thanks.
1.5) Strategy
of prices for the region. 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.
I cannot agree with you anymore!!! You are right that we should check the market situation before we move further. I believe you know better than me because you are expert and the one who STAY in the market at all times. So please kindly introduce the market situation to me and tell me about your plan, we would love to know it and adjust our resource to support you to kick off a successful business in Uruguay. Besides, would you please kindly introduce some most popular internet shopping websites to me for me to check the market situation? As I know the internet shopping is getting more and more popular in the whole Latin America. Do you know about what is the percentage of people who use internet in Uruguay, Chile, Brazil, and Argentina? Any information from you is highly appreciated!!
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.
I would love to offer you all our conditions and support you to promote and sell to all your current customers by creating a new segment, entry-level users, and doubling your sales volume. But I think and strongly suggest, at the beginning, we focus on just one or two countries, like Uruguay and maybe Chile. Because we need to tune the business model we work with each other. Only after we find a best model do we copy it to all the countries. What do you think about it?
1.7) About AIPTEK business in Latin America.
As you can
see, this email is quite more extensive and deeper that the previous ones.
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.
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.
Based on the current business of the Graphic Arts and the CAD you do have, I hope we can start our mutual business from this base soon and then extend to other fields when we have stable business relationship. In fact, the Tablet models we sell most in the rest of world are also the ones for professional graphics use as what we offer are with precise performance. But the segment we are in is very different from GTCO’s one for our relatively low cost which is affordable by personal professional users like personal print-media designers etc. Besides, what you will benefit from business with AIPTEK Group is that we will help you build a more diversified channel network in the future by our diversified and fruitful product lines, like the client network which you have gained from the business with GTCO. I believe the new-built connections will be very helpful for you to bring in any similar or related products and business when you have more resource.
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.
I cannot agree with you anymore! There are risks hidden everywhere in this wide land of many opportunities! What do you suggest we start from?
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.
We do have the intention to promote AIPTEK as one of the most famous brand in the wide Spanish area of Latin America and need a great partner like you who treats business seriously.
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’d love to know your consultancy work and related charges. Pls kindly tell me more about the details. Thanks.
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 glad to discuss this with you. Pls let me know your ideas. Any suggestions are highly appreciated.
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.
Pls see the attachment for the models I would like to sell in Latin America. FYI. Any idea from you is highly appreciated.

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
A/P Pedro J. Etchegaray
