Do Business With A Caribbean Company : The Opportunities

The Caribbean is composed of the following countries: Antigua and Barbuda, The Bahamas, Barbados, Cuba, Dominica, Dominican Republic, Grenada, Haiti, Jamaica, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Trinidad and Tobago, Puerto Rico, Guadeloupe(France), Martinique (France), Curacao, United States Virgin Islands, Aruba(Netherlands), Dominica, Saint Martens, Bermuda, Cayman Islands, Turcs and Caicos, Anguilla, Montserrat and Saba.

The culture and language varies from one island to another. For instance, the languages spoken in this region are English, Spanish, French, Creole and other dialects. As a company, you will need to remember this in your strategy to enter this market as well as your communication.

Finding wholesale distributors or agents who are willing to sell your products and services could be a low risk strategy to test this new market. They will have already have a large networks of possible clients as well as an in dept experience on how to promote your selling offers. This will avoid your company to actually send your team and have some office in the region in the beginning.

Embassies and consulates are a wealth of information that can help you get detailed information and data about a particular market. The level of support you will get will really depend on the person in charge. In my experience, I have received both very good and bad support.

B2B marketplaces are another great option to find potential business partners. These websites allow its users to search for selling and buying offers online. This allows great flexibility as you can do this at a convenient time for you. All you need is an internet connection. These portals also offer premium memberships where businesses can get a buyer friendly storefront which is like a virtual showroom to promote their products and services. Try to find portals that focus on the Caribbean.

As you can see, trading with a Caribbean company can bring several opportunities for any business looking to increase their international sales.
