Have a look at chambers of commerce in the countries you want to export to especially those based near you and ask them for help. A fair few trade missions are now virtual.
Hi I have a manufacturing plant in Dubai: ecopack. You can call me to discuss further in details.
Hi. First question is why try to sell internationally when you have a domestic market to go after? Is your local market saturated? Focus on building a strong business from you local market before thinking of exporting. Second - what advantages can you deliver that an international buyer can't get from their local suppliers? I know the print space well (I come from an international marketing background) and there has to be a really compelling reason why anyone would buy from a supplier in another country. Why is your offer better than a printer in Singapore?, Germany? US? Thirdly - I can see you are based in Pakistan but your website implies New York (name, pictures of Manhattan etc) - either open a sales office in New York or avoid trying to confuse customers. Be authentic.
First of all, the Web to Print or Packaging Industry has massive competition in the market. If it started recently, try to provide better service with a lesser competitor price.
Concentrate more on Customer Life Time value (repetitive clients) rather than acquiring new customers.
Understand the local and Industry Leaders the market and their service & price strategies Eg: https://www.moo.com/us/ https://www.newprint.com/
All The Very Best

How to promote a paid iOS app to increase downloads ?
Your best bet to get traction quickly in USA is to advertise on mobile ad networks. You may need to advertise on CPM/CPC basis instead of CPI if you have a paid app so make sure you understand your user lifetime value and watch conversion rates closely so you don't overspend. That said, depending on what your niche/vertical is, there are many other ways to market non-gaming apps.Slaven RadicSR

How did Snapchat boast a solid user base within a short period of time, compared to Facebook and Twitter?
I've been in the picture messaging space for a while now with my apps Lutebox (voted one of London's top ten most loved apps) and now Click Messenger. I've written a few articles about the space including a recent post about the Future of Mobile Messaging. Snapchat started out as an app called Picaboo, which pretty much did what it does now (prior to the latest update with chat and video calling). They quickly rebranded but saw a little uptake in user numbers and had quite low downloads for several months. Then around Christmas 2011 one of the founders' mom had told her friend about the app, who told her kid and her kid basically then spread the word throughout their high school in L.A. That was what really blew up their download numbers as it spread across teenagers at local high schools. As far as I know they didn't advertise in the early days, relied solely on word of mouth. Also it is assumed that they have a solid user base. Comparatively speaking, their user base may be in the low tens of millions, which may a great base of users, but nowhere even close to being as big as Facebook or Twitter. I'd be happy to speak about this in more detail or about the picture messaging landscape and what I believe to be the future of mobile messaging.Ali AhmedAA

How can I go about finding a business partner for my startup?
Hello! Aside from the typical website platforms, I would recommend using Twitter's hashtags and user handles. Try following and using the ones that your potential prospect or otherwise ideal partners would be following and start sharing about your work, your progress, and outreach for a potential partner. If possible try to be local when doing so. But obviously, some to use include Startups.co, Basecamp, Inc 500, yesPHX, BetaBulls, MPV, Lean Startup, Lean Methodologies, TechCrunch, etc.Humberto Valle Texas Real Estate Investor, Wholesaler, & Airbnb SuperhostHV

How do you get your first customers for a consulting business?
Back when I started LinkedIn wasn't as huge as it is now. I wish it was. I didn't have a large network and those networking sessions NEVER brought me any clients. I used to go to all sorts of them hoping to get clients. There were a couple of nibbles here and there, but never anything serious. The only thing that helped was reaching out DIRECTLY to people in my target market. That meant cold calls and cold emails. I'd sell myself while thinking about their needs. Once I got a few bites I'd build good rapport by keeping in touch, asking questions, repeating back what they were saying so that they knew I was on the same page and kept my promises. If I said I'd call them back next Tuesday at 2:15 I'd do so. Eventually I built trust with them without having a network, or an insane amount of experience. Oh and the most important thing about consulting is to LISTEN. When those first clients notice that you're truly listening and you're not selling the cookie cutter solutions everyone else is trying to sell them that's when you got them hooked. You start to understand their problems, fears, and see through their eyes and not just yours. A network will help, but in the beginning just good 'ol salesmanship will get the ball rolling.Jorge ColonJC
